Solenoidal Lipschitz truncation for parabolic PDE's

Abstract

We consider functions $u\in L^{\infty }(L^2)\cap L^p(W^{1,p})$ with $1<p<\infty$ on a time space domain. Solutions to non-linear evolutionary PDE's typically belong to these spaces. Many applications require a Lipschitz approximation $u_{\lambda }$ of $u$ which coincides with $u$ on a large set. For problems arising in fluid mechanics one needs to work with solenoidal (divergence-free) functions. Thus, we construct a Lipschitz approximation, which is also solenoidal. As an application we revise the existence proof for non-stationary generalized Newtonian fluids in [DRW10]. Since $\mathrm{div}{u}_{\lambda }=0$, we are able to work in the pressure free formulation, which heavily simplifies the proof. We also provide a simplified approach to the stationary solenoidal Lipschitz truncation of [BDF12].
