Heat regularization of bounded uniformly continuous data #
Restricting the bounded continuous heat operator from
TauCeti.Analysis.PDE.HeatKernel.BoundedContinuous to the closed subspace of bounded uniformly
continuous functions gives TauCeti.heatCauchyPotentialBUC.
On that subspace the regularizations converge in supremum norm to the initial datum. In particular, smooth functions with bounded derivatives of every order are dense there, with no increase of the supremum norm. Such approximants allow comparison estimates for smooth-data parabolic problems to pass to uniformly continuous initial traces. This file asserts neither solvability for variable coefficients nor a uniform bound on derivatives as time tends to zero.
The analytic inputs are the derivative bounds for heat convolutions in
TauCeti.Analysis.PDE.HeatKernel.HeatEquation and the uniform approximate-identity theorem

Instances For
The bounded continuous function underlying heat regularization on the uniformly continuous subspace is the usual bounded heat regularization.
At nonpositive times heat regularization on bounded uniformly continuous functions is the identity. In particular, this gives the time-zero initial value.
The heat operator on bounded uniformly continuous functions is a contraction.

Smooth approximation of bounded uniformly continuous data. For every positive tolerance there is a bounded uniformly continuous, smooth approximant with bounded derivatives of every order. Its supremum norm does not exceed that of the datum.
