The energy form under restriction to a smaller domain #
Let U ⊆ Ω be open sets. Testing the restriction u|_U ∈ H¹(U) of u ∈ H¹(Ω) against
v ∈ H¹₀(U) is the same as testing u against the zero extension of v to Ω: both jets of
the extension vanish off U, and on U the jets of u and u|_U agree. Consequently a weak
subsolution on Ω restricts to a weak subsolution on U. This lets local estimates for weak
subsolutions be proved on a ball, which has finite measure, without global integrability
hypotheses on Ω.

The energy form of a restriction. For open sets U ⊆ Ω, u ∈ H¹(Ω) and v ∈ H¹₀(U),
the energy form on U of the restriction u|_U against v equals the energy form on Ω of u
against the zero extension of v.
Weak subsolutions restrict to weak subsolutions. If u ∈ H¹(Ω) satisfies a(u, v) ≤ 0
for every nonnegative v ∈ H¹₀(Ω), then for every open U ⊆ Ω its restriction u|_U satisfies
a(u|_U, v) ≤ 0 for every nonnegative v ∈ H¹₀(U).
