L2-compatible initialization of grid data
ID: l2-compatible-initialization-of-grid-data
An arbitrary initial function has no well-defined nodal point samples. Cell averages or a bounded projection to the discrete approximation space supply grid data independently of its pointwise representative. Jensen's inequality bounds the cell-average discrete L2 norm by the continuous L2 norm. Combining consistent bounded initialization, stability, and density of smooth data can extend convergence to rough initial functions, without claiming their nonexistent classical derivatives.
