Iterated derivative seminorms: linear changes of variables and the Euclidean Hessian #
Composing a vector-valued function with a linear automorphism e multiplies the Lᵖ seminorm
of its i-th derivative by at most ‖e‖ ^ i * |det e|^(-1 / p). The estimate compares a set
with its preimage under e, works against any additive Haar measure on a finite-dimensional
real normed space, and requires no differentiability of the function. Only the derivative of
the composite must be a.e. strongly measurable on the preimage.
For a finite-dimensional real normed space it also records the consequence for second derivatives
of a C² function on a thickening: the L² norm of D²u on a thickening of a bounded set is
finite (MeasureTheory.Measure.eLpNorm_iteratedFDeriv_two_thickening_ne_top), and D²(u ∘ e) on
the preimage thickening is controlled by D²u through the ellipticity constants of e
(MeasureTheory.Measure.toReal_eLpNorm_iteratedFDeriv_two_comp_le).
On a finite-dimensional inner product space with an additive Haar measure, the Lᵖ norm of the
Hessian of a function with continuous second derivative supported in a closed ball, with all second
partial derivatives along an orthonormal basis bounded by B, is at most the 1/p-th power of the
measure of the ball times (card ι)² B
(MeasureTheory.Measure.toReal_eLpNorm_iteratedFDeriv_two_le_of_support_subset_closedBall).
Under a linear change of variables e, the Lᵖ seminorm of Dⁱ(f ∘ e) on e ⁻¹' s is at
most ‖e‖ⁱ |det e|^(-1/p) times the Lᵖ seminorm of Dⁱf on s, against any additive Haar
measure. The set need not be measurable, and no differentiability of f is required.
The L² norm of D²u on the open R-thickening of a bounded set S is finite when u is
C² on an open set containing the closed R-thickening.
The L² norm of D²(u ∘ e) on the R / √Λ-thickening of e ⁻¹' S is at most
Λ λ^{-d/4} times the L² norm of D²u on the R-thickening of S, where d is the dimension
of E.
The Lᵖ norm of the second derivative of a function w with continuous second derivative on a
finite-dimensional real inner product space with an additive Haar measure μ is at most
μ (closedBall 0 R) ^ (1/p) * (card ι) ^ 2 * B, when the second derivative of w is supported in
the closed ball closedBall x₀ R and all its second partial derivatives along an orthonormal basis
b are bounded by B. Only the second derivative needs to be supported there, so w itself may be
nonzero outside.
