A note on the generalized energy inequality in the Navier-Stokes equations. (English) Zbl 1099.35099
The authors prove the existence of a suitable weak solution such that the generalized energy inequality is satisfied for all non-negative smooth test functions. The usual definition requires that the test functions must have compact support.
The construction is based on a special approximation which provides smooth solutions and thus the solution itself is an acceptable test function for the approximate problem.
