Reason: Phase B: the mean of a partial derivative of a periodic C^1 function vanishes, giving integration by parts on the torus. · 1,045 chars · 3 deps · depth 25

A partial derivative of a continuously differentiable periodic function has integral zero over the torus, so integration by parts on the torus carries no boundary term.

Statement

In the setting of The Flat Torus: Standing Notation. For uCperu\in C_{\mathrm{per}} the restriction uQu|_{Q} lies in L1(Tn)\mathcal{L}^{1}(\mathbb{T}^{n}) by Continuous Periodic Functions are Power-Integrable and Dense on the Torus §member, and we abbreviate

Tnudx=TnuQdx.\int_{\mathbb{T}^{n}}u\,dx=\int_{\mathbb{T}^{n}}u|_{Q}\,dx .

Recall from Elementary Properties of Lattice-Periodic Functions §derivative that igCper\partial_{i}g\in C_{\mathrm{per}} for gCper1g\in C^{1}_{\mathrm{per}} and i[n]i\in[n], and from Elementary Properties of Lattice-Periodic Functions §algebra that CperC_{\mathrm{per}} is closed under pointwise products, so that all four integrands below lie in CperC_{\mathrm{per}} and the abbreviation applies to them. Then the following hold.

1. (Vanishing mean of a derivative) Let gCper1g\in C^{1}_{\mathrm{per}} and let i[n]i\in[n]. Then

Tnigdx=0.\int_{\mathbb{T}^{n}}\partial_{i}g\,dx=0 .

2. (Integration by parts) Let g,hCper1g,h\in C^{1}_{\mathrm{per}} and let i[n]i\in[n]. Then

Tn(ig)hdx=Tng(ih)dx.\int_{\mathbb{T}^{n}}(\partial_{i}g)\,h\,dx=-\int_{\mathbb{T}^{n}}g\,(\partial_{i}h)\,dx .
