Infinite differentiability for a solution of the general linear parabolic pde of second order

97 Views Asked by At

I'm studying by myself the the chapter of second order parabolic linear equations by Evan's book, which focus in solve

$$(11) \ \begin{cases} \begin{eqnarray*} u_t + Lu &=& f \ \text{in} \ U_T\\ u &=& 0 \ \text{on} \ \partial U \times [0,T]\\ u &=& g \ \text{on} \ U \times \{ t = 0 \} \end{eqnarray*} \end{cases}$$

I'm trying understand how the theorem $7$ on page $388$ is a direct consequence of the theorem $6$ on page $386$. Specifically, I'm trying understand how the following theorem:

$\textbf{Theorem 7.}$ (Infinite differentiability). Assume

$$g \in \mathcal{C}^{\infty}(\overline{U}), f \in \mathcal{C}^{\infty}(\overline{U}_T),$$

and the $m^{th}$-order compatibility conditions hold for $m = 0, 1, \cdots$.

Then the parabolic initial/boundary value-problem $(11)$ has an unique solution

$$u \in \mathcal{C}^{\infty}(\overline{U}_T).$$

is a direct consequence of this theorem:

$\textbf{Theorem 6.}$ (Higher Regularity). Assume

$$\begin{cases} g \in H^{2m+1}(U),\\ \frac{d^kf}{dt^k} \in L^2(0,T;H^{2m-2k}(U)) \ (k = 0, \cdots, m). \end{cases}$$

Suppose also that the following $m^{th}$-order compatibility conditions hold

$$\begin{cases} g_0 := g \in H^1_0(U), g_1 := f(0) - L g_0 \in H^1_0(U),\\ \cdots, g_m := \frac{d^{m-1}f}{dt^{m-1}}(\cdot, 0) - Lg_{m-1} \in H^1_0(U). \end{cases}$$

Then

$$\frac{d^k\textbf{u}}{dt^k} \in L^2 (0,T;H^{2m+2-2k}(U)) \ (k = 0, \cdots, m+1),$$

and we have the estimate

$$(55) \ \sum_{k=0}^{m+1} \left| \left| \frac{d^k\textbf{u}}{dt^k} \right| \right|_{H^{2m+2-2k}(U)} \leq C \left( \sum_{k=0}^{m} \left| \left| \frac{d^k\textbf{f}}{dt^k} \right| \right|_{L^2(0,T;H^{2m-2k}(U))} + ||g||_{H^{2m+1}(U)} \right),$$

the constant $C$ depending only on $m, U, T$ and the coefficients of $L$.

Evans said simply that the theorem $7$ follows from the theorem $6$ applying this theorem for $m = 0, 1, 2, \cdots$, but I didn't understand how the bounds for the higher derivatives of $\textbf{u}$ with respect for the norm of $L^2(0,T;H^{2m+2-2k}(U))$ imply that these same higher derivatives are bounded with respect to the uniform norm over $\overline{U}_T$, which imply that $u \in \mathcal{C}^{\infty}(\overline{U}_T)$. I would like to understand it.

Thanks in advance!

P.S.: just to make the question self-contained, I will introduce some definitions used on theorems $6$ and $7$.

$\textbf{Definition.}$ Let be $X$ a real Banach space with norm $|| \ ||$. The space $L^p(0,T;X)$ consists of all strongly measurable functions $\textbf{u}: [0,T] \longrightarrow X$ with

$$(i) \ ||\textbf{u}||_{L^p(0,T;X)} := \left( \int_0^T ||\textbf{u}(t)||^p \right)^{\frac{1}{p}} < \infty$$

for $1 \leq p < \infty$.

$\textbf{Definition.}$ Let be $U$ an open set of $\mathbb{R}^n$, then $H^k(U) := W^{k,2}(U)$.
