For each , choose the solution from parts (a)--(c). The maximum estimate gives a -independent boundThus a sequence has in . The periodic elliptic estimates forbound in and in for every finite . Taking and using compact sobolev embedding gives, after a further subsequence, uniform convergence . It follows that distributionally.
The first energy estimate givesTherefore the viscous term vanishes in , and the weak formulation passes to the limit asThe elliptic relations pass to the limit as well and giveSince , periodic elliptic regularity gives and . Moreover , so its divergence lies in . This constructs the required weak solution of the damped-driven Euler system by a vanishing-viscosity limit.
