Symmetric pointwise energy integrands #
For a divergence-form operator with no drift term, a symmetric principal coefficient
matrix gives a symmetric pointwise jet bilinear form energyIntegrand A 0 c. This file
records that finite-dimensional bookkeeping before the energy form is integrated over a
Sobolev space.
The main use is Lane D of the PDE roadmap: the weak formulation and the Dirichlet spectrum
need the integrated form coming from symmetric coefficients to be a symmetric coercive
bilinear form. The already-existing coefficientSymmetricPart replaces a possibly
nonsymmetric coefficient matrix by (A + Aᵀ) / 2; here we prove the corresponding facts for
the full zero-drift jet integrand.
The quantitative diagonal lower bounds are supplied separately by
TauCeti.Analysis.PDE.EnergyLowerBounds and its UniformlyEllipticOn wrappers. In the
zero-drift case with positive mass and a principal quadratic lower bound, combine
energyIntegrand_zero_drift_flip_eq_of_isSymm or
energyIntegrand_coefficientSymmetricPart_zero_drift_flip_eq with
min_lam_mass_mul_norm_sq_le_energyIntegrand_zero_drift_self rather than introducing a
separate conjunction API.

Instances For
With zero drift, transposing the principal coefficient swaps the two jet arguments.
Bundled-map form of symmetry for the zero-drift jet integrand.
Downstream energy forms that need the same integrand to be both symmetric and bounded below
pair this with min_lam_mass_mul_norm_sq_le_energyIntegrand_zero_drift_self. For a
nonsymmetric principal coefficient, first pass to coefficientSymmetricPart using the uniform
ellipticity API in TauCeti.Analysis.PDE.Ellipticity.Basic, then apply this lemma to the
symmetric coefficient field.
The symmetric part's zero-drift jet form is the average of the original form and its transpose.
Replacing the principal coefficient by its symmetric part does not change the diagonal energy density.
