The inequality is proved in three stages. The first is the same inequality with
the L^2 -norm on the right replaced by the LP-norm. This follows directly from
the Calderon-Zygmund inequality. The second stage uses the Sobolev embedding
W^1 ·^2 '---> LP with corresponding estimate ll(llLv :::; c ll(llw1,2· The third stage is
the elliptic estimate for W^1 •^2. In both the first and third stage the domain has to
be increased. Details are easy and are left to the reader. Finally, that D( E Lf 0 c
implies ( E W 1 ~·: is the standard elliptic regularity result.
Step 3: Consider the norm
11(112,p = (1-: ll((s,·)lli 2cs1) ds) l/p
There exist constants c 2 ,c 3 > 0 such that, if ( E W^1 •^2 (JR x S^1 ,JR^2 n) and D( E
LP(JR x S^1 ,JR^2 n), then ( E Wl,P(JR x S^1 ,JR^2 n) and
11(112,p :::; c2 llD(llLP' ll(llw1,p :::; C3 (llD(llLP + 11~11 2 ,p).
It follows from Step 2 that ( E W 1 ~':. Hence, to establish the first assertion, it
only remains to prove that ll(llw1.v < oo and this will follow from the two estimates.
The first of these is just Young's convolution inequality. Namely, by assumption,
we have 'T/ = D( E L^2 (JR, H) n LP(JR, H). Step 1 shows that ( = Q'T/ = K * 'T/· Hence,
by Young's inequality,

llQ'T/ll2,p = llK * TJllLP(IR,H) :::; llKllu(JR,.C(H)) ll'T/llLP(IR,H) :::; 5 llTJllLP.
The last inequality uses (18) and llTJ(s)llL2(s1) :::; ll'T/(s)llLv(s1) for P 2 2.
To prove the second inequality in Step 3, we use Step 2 and (a+b)P :::; 2P(aP+bP):
11<11:'.v'·'([k.k+l[xS') < 2' c,' ( t:' llD<ll\'.,(S') ds + (t:' ll<lli'(S') ds t ')

This proves the inequalities and Step 3.
Step 4: We prove the lemma.
Putting the two estimates of Step 3 together we obtain
