Normalize
Then , and remains a weak supersolution. The ordinary Caccioppoli inequality with a cutoff supported in gives a uniform bound whenever . The Rellich-Kondrachov compactness theorem and a diagonal subsequence therefore give, for every ,
The strong convergence preserves nonnegativity. Passing to the limit in the linear supersolution inequality against every nonnegative compactly supported test function shows that is a weak supersolution in .
