An alternative approach to solenoidal Lipschitz truncation

Analysis of PDEs 2026-01-14 v1

Abstract

In this work, a new approach to obtain a solenoidal Lipschitz truncation is presented. More precisely, the goal of the truncation is to modify a function uW1,p(R3,R3)u \in W^{1,p}(\mathbb{R}^3,\mathbb{R}^3) that satisfies the additional constraint div u=0\mathrm{div}~ u=0, such that its modification u~\tilde{u} is in W1,(R3,R3)W^{1,\infty}(\mathbb{R}^3,\mathbb{R}^3) and still is divergence-free. We give an alternative approach to Lipschitz truncation compared to previous works by Breit, Diening & Fuchs (2012) and Breit, Diening & Schwarzacher (2013). The ansatz pursued here allows a rather strict bound on the W1,pW^{1,p} distance of uu and u~\tilde{u}.
