Divergence-Free Approximation in Sobolev and Lebesgue Spaces on General Unbounded Domains with Applications to Energy Equality in Fluid Dynamics
We construct divergence-free, vector-valued approximation functions on the whole space $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\geq 2$, as well as on general unbounded domains of uniform $\mathrm{C}^{1,1}$-type. These approximations converge simultaneously in both Sobolev and Lebesgue spaces. In the whole-space setting, we employ Bogovski\u...
