5 1 Introduction 22 August 2016 Practical information. Prerequisites: Basic real analysis, e.g. MAT2400 (say compact subsets of R n, uniform convergence of sequences of functions). Aquaintance with PDEs, e.g. MAT-INF3360 (some exposure to partial derivatives including Gauss-Green-Stokes theorem, examples from physics, chemistry, biology, social sciences, finance or whatever). Strongly recommended (either before or in parallel): Basic measure theory and functional analysis: MAT4400. Curriculum: Lawrence C. Evans Partial Differential Equations, Amer. Math. Soc., Graduate Studies in Mathematics. Selected topics in the following chapters: Chap. 2: Some explicit formulas, for the heat and Poisson equations. Chap. 5: Sobolev spaces, definition and some properties. Chap. 6: Applications of Sobolev spaces to linear elliptic PDEs. Time permitting: some theory for finite element methods and/or nonlinear elliptic equations. Language. A comparison of formulations. Let I = [a, b] be a (closed and bounded) interval in R (i.e. < a < b < + ). Consider the following statements: Suppose f, g : I R are two functions. Pick x I. Suppose f and g are both differentiable at x. Then f +g is differentiable at x and (f +g) (x) = f (x) + g (x). Let F denote the set of (real valued) functions on I and D denote the set of differentiable functions. Then F has a natural structure of vector space, and D is then a subspace. Moreover differentiation defines a linear map from D to F. Denote by C k (I) the space of functions which are k times differentiable on I, the derivatives up to order k being continuous. It is a vector space, and the following defines a norm: u k = sup{ u (l) (x) : l k, x I}. (1) Here u (l) denotes the derivative of order l of u. Then derivation defines a bounded linear map from C k (I) to C k 1 (I) (k 1), by construction. Moreover C k (I) equipped with this norm, is complete. 5
6 For this course I am going to assume that the students think the first statement is a distant memory, that they are familiar with the second statement and that they can work through the last. This is mostly about reformulating key results from a second calculus course in the language of functional analysis. This defines some function spaces. Sobolev spaces are other function spaces, that turn out to be more adapted to the study of partial differential equations, for instance because Hilbert space techniques can be applied to them. Substance. For most PDEs there is no explicit formula for the solution. One then studies questions such as: does the PDE have a solution, is it unique, and what are its properties. Different types of properties are of interest, an important one is how smooth the solution is... Let U be an open bounded subset of R n. Let f : U R be a function and g : U R be another one. In the course we will mainly be interested in the equation: u = f on U, (2) u = g on U. (3) In dimension n = 1 this equation can be solved explicitely, by two integrations and a two by two system (do it!); and if f is C 0 (U) then u is C 2 (U). In higher dimensions (n 2), there are explicit solution techniques only for special choices of domain U (e.g. with Fourier series); not when, say, U has the shape of the human body. Moreover one is lead to seek solutions that are not of class C 2 (U). We will give meaning to a notion of generalized solution, involving functions whose derivatives are not defined in the classical sense (i.e. by pointwise everywhere differentiation). This framework is important for numerical computations, because approximate solutions will typically be piecewise linear functions, which are not differentiable in the classical sense. For a numerical method applied to some PDE, one wants to estimate the distance from the computed (approximate) solution to the exact solution, with respect to some norm. It turns out that this is easier in Sobolev space norms than in those, more elementary, defined by (1). Reading assigment. Introduction in Evans book. Welcome! 6

11 4 Exercises on partial derivatives Let U be an open subset of R n. 1 September 2016 Exercise 4.1. Check that if u C 1 (U) (scalar field) and v C 1 (U) n (vector field): div(uv) = (grad u) v + u div v. (5) Exercise 4.2. Choose reals a i < b i for integer i such that 1 i n. Suppose U =]a 1, b 1 [ ]a n, b n [. You may start with n = 2. What is the boundary of U? What is the unit outward pointing normal on U? We denote it by ν. Give a direct proof of Stokes theorem in this case, namely that if u C 1 (R n ) n then : div u = u(x) ν(x)dx. (6) U U Deduce (informally) the formula for a finite union of such boxes, possibly sharing faces. Exercise 4.3. For a function u C 1 (U), we define for any vector a = (a 1,, a n ) R n : a u(x) = lim ɛ 0 ɛ 1 (u(x + ɛa) u(x)). (7) Check: a u(x) = n a i i u(x). (8) i=1 Let (e i ) 1 i n denote the canonical basis of R n : Compared with standard notation we have: e 1 = (1, 0, 0,..., 0), (9) e 2 = (0, 1, 0,..., 0), (10)... (11) e n = (0, 0, 0,..., 1). (12) i u = ei u. (13) Let (f i ) 1 i n be another orthonormal basis of R n. Prove that for u C 1 (U): ( i u)e i = ( fi u)f i. (14) i i and that for u C 1 (U) n : i u i = i i fi (u f i ). (15) Prove also that for u C 2 (U): n n i 2 u = f 2 i u. (16) i=1 i=1 11
12 Exercise 4.4. Let A be an invertible real n n matrix, considered also as a map R n R n, x Ax. Check that for u C 1 (U) we have: and that for v C 1 (U) n : Deduce that if A is an orthogonal matrix: grad(u A) = (A T grad u) A, (17) div(a 1 v A) = (div v) A. (18) (u A) = ( u) A. (19) Whether A is orthogonal or not, find a positive definite matrix B such that: (u A) = (div B grad u) A. (20) 12
13 5 Continuous linear or bilinear maps 5 September 2016 Not very much functional analysis is required for this course. Essentially we need the following background material. In the following all vectorspaces are vectorspaces over a field K which is either R or C. Proposition 5.1. E and F two normed vectorspaces. A : E F a linear map. The following are equivalent: A is continuous. A is continuous at 0. There is C > 0 such that for all u E, Au C u. Such linear maps are also said to be bounded. Proof. See Lemma 4.1 p. 88 in [5]. For a continuous linear map A : E F one defines: A = inf{c 0 : u E Au C u }, (21) = sup{ Au : u E u 1}. (22) The continuous linear maps E F form a vector space denoted L(E, F ) and the above expression defines a norm on this space. In the special case F = K, the space L(E, K) is called the dual space of E and denoted E. Very similarly one proves: Proposition 5.2. E, F and G three normed vectorspaces. a : E F G a bilinear map. The following are equivalent: a is continuous. a is continuous at 0. There is C > 0 such that for all u E, all v F, a(u, v) C u v. Such bilinear maps are also said to be bounded. For a continuous bilinear map a : E F G one defines: a = inf{c 0 : u E v F a(u, v) C u v }, (23) = sup{ a(u, v) : u E u 1, v F v 1}. (24) The continuous bilinear maps constitute a normed vector space. Notice that a continous linear map is uniformly continuous, whereas a (non zero) continuous bilinear map is not. 13
14 Proposition 5.3. Suppose that E is a normed vector space and that E 0 is a dense subspace. Suppose that F is a complete normed vector space. Suppose that A : E 0 F is a linear map and that for some C 0 we have: u E 0 Au C u. (25) Then there is a unique continuous map à : E F which coincides with A on E 0. It is linear and satisfies: u E Ãu C u. (26) Proposition 5.4. Suppose E 0 is a normed vector space. Then there exists a complete normed vector space E equipped with an isometry i : E 0 E such that i(e 0 ) is dense in E. If F is another complete normed vector space equipped with an isometry j : E 0 F such that j(e 0 ) is dense in F, there exists a unique continuous map J : E F such that j = J i ; and it is a linear isometric bijection. Proof. See [3] Chapter VII, Section 4. 14

21 9 Integration and mollification 19 September Some references for background material PDE theory draws on many (all?) sources. I hope you will find references that please you. Here are some of my favorites. Differential Intrinsic definition of the differential of a function from one normed vector space to another, compared with partial derivatives: [8] Chapter 17: Several variable differential calculus. [3] Chapter XV: Functions on n-space, and Chapter XVII: Derivatives in vector spaces. Lebesgue measure and integral [7] Chapter 1: Measure theory. [2] Chapter 2.6: The n-dimensional Lebesgue integral. Remark 9.1. An approach to the Lebesgue integral through completion. Let S denote the space of step functions [a, b] X. Equip S with the seminorm defined by: f = b a f(x) dx. (27) It turns out that the completion of this space with respect to this semi-norm, has all the properties we would like for a nice space L 1 ([a, b], X). In particular its elements can be identified with functions (defined up to a subset of measure zero). Realizing this program requires some work of course, see [3] Chapter X.4 p , and [4] Appendix A, p Remark that completing S with respect to the sup-norm yields also yields a space of functions on which the integral is well defined. It is comparatively easy, but unfortunately the space obtained is complete with respect to the sup-norm, not the L 1 -norm. Convolution Convolution and Dirac sequences: [3] Chapter XI: Approximation with convolution. [7] Chapter 3.2: Good kernels and approximations to the identity. See also: [6] Chapter 2.3: Convolutions, Chapter 2.4: Good kernels. [2] Chapter 8.2: Convolutions. 21
22 9.2 Measures and integration Definition 9.1. Let E be a set. A σ-algebra on E is a subset M of P(E) such that: M, For all F M we have E \ F M, For any sequence (F n ) n N in M we have n N F n M. When E is a topological space, there is a smallest σ-algebra containing the open subsets of E, called the Borel σ-algebra on E. Definition 9.2. Let E be a set and M a σ-algebra on E. A measure on M is a function µ : M [0, ] such that for any sequence (F n ) n N in M of two by two disjoint sets: µ( n N F n ) = n N µ(f n ). (28) Let E be a set, M a σ-algebra on E and µ a measure on M. Then the following is also a σ-algebra: M = {F G : F M, and G M µ(g ) = 0 and G G }. (29) The measure µ has a unique extension to a measure µ on M. For any subset F of E, if there is F M such that µ(f ) = 0 and F F, we have F M. One says that (M, µ) is the completion of (M, µ). Once a σ-algebra on E has been fixed, as well as a measure, the elements of the σ-algebra will be referred to as the measurable subsets of E. A property P(x) defined for x E is said to hold almost everywhere, if there is a set F of measure 0 such that P(x) is true for x E \ F. Definition 9.3. A function f : E R is measurable if for any open interval I in R, f 1 (I) is a measurable subset of E. Definition 9.4. For a function f : E R the following are equivalent: f is measurable, has finite range and for a 0, f 1 ({a}) has finite measure. f is a (finite) linear combination of characteristic functions of measurable subsets with finite measure. Such functions are called simple. They form a vector space. Lemma 9.1. Suppose f is a simple function represented as: f = n a i χ Fi, (30) i=1 with F i measurable, with finite measure. If f(x) = 0 for almost every x E, then: n a i µ(f i ) = 0. (31) i=1 22
23 As a consequence, if a simple function f is represented as in (30), the number: n a i µ(f i ), (32) i=1 does not depend on the choice of representation. It is called the integral of f and denoted f. For a measurable function f : E [0, ] we define: f = sup{ φ : φ is simple and φ f} [0, ]. (33) We define L 1 (E) to consist of measurable functions f : E R such that f = f <. It is a normed vector space and the simple functions are dense in it. The integral, defined a priori for simple functions, has a unique extension to a continuous linear form on L 1 (E) called the integral and still denoted. Theorem 9.2. (dominated convergence) Suppose that f : E R is some function, (f n ) n N is a sequence in L 1 (E) and g : E [0, ] satisfies: g is measurable and g <, for almost every x E, for all n N, f n (x) g(x), for almost every x E, f n (x) f(x) as n. Then f L 1 (E) and: lim n Proposition 9.3. L 1 (E) is complete. f n = f. (34) Actually the norm on L 1 (E) is just a seminorm, since the L 1 (E) norm of a function is 0 iff the function is zero almost everywhere. One usually overlooks this problem and considers that such functions are 0. Proposition 9.4. On the Borel σ-algebra of R n there is a unique measure which: is translation invariant, and is such that the measure of the open unit cube is 1. The completion of this measure is called the Lebesgue measure and the associated integral is called the Lebesgue integral. By default this is the measure and integral we will always consider. If S is an open subset of R n we denote by L 1 (S) the space of functions on S whose extension by 0 to R n is in L 1 (R n ). This is also a Banach space. Proposition 9.5. For any open subset S of R n, the space C c (S) is dense in L 1 (S). We define: L 1 (S) loc = {u : R n R : K S K compact χ K u L 1 (S)}. (35) For instance the fundamental solution to the Laplace operator is in L 1 (R n ) loc but not L 1 (R n ). 23
24 9.3 The standard bump Define a function φ : R R by, for x > 0 : φ(x) = exp( 1/x), (36) and for x 0, φ(x) = 0. Exercise 9.1. By induction on k, show that for any k N there exists a polynomial P and l N such that the k-th order derivative of φ takes the form, for x > 0: φ (k) (x) = P (x) x l exp( 1/x). (37) Deduce that φ C (R). Define Φ : R n R by, for x R n : Φ(x) = φ(1 x 2 ). (38) What is the support of Φ? Why is its integral strictly positive? Define then: Ψ(x) = Φ(x)/ Φ, (39) and: What is the integral of Ψ ɛ? mollifiers. 9.4 Convolution Ψ ɛ (x) = ɛ n Ψ(ɛ 1 x). (40) These functions will be called the standard Given two functions u, v : R n R one defines u v : R n R by: u v(x) = u(y)v(x y)dy, (41) whenever this makes sense. Proposition 9.6. For u, v L 1 (R n ) we get a well defined u v L 1 (R n ) and: Exercise 9.2. Check that u v = v u. u v L 1 (R n ) u L 1 (R n ) v L 1 (R n ). (42) Lemma 9.7. If u C c (R n ), then u is uniformly continuous. Proposition 9.8. If u L 1 loc (Rn ) and v C c (R n ) then u v C(R n ). Proposition 9.9. If u L 1 loc (Rn ) and v C 1 c(r n ) then u v C 1 (R n ) and: i (u v) = u i v. (43) Proposition If u C c (R n ) then as ɛ 0, u Ψ ɛ converges to u, uniformly on R n. Proposition If u L 1 (R n ) then as ɛ 0, u Ψ ɛ converges to u in L 1 (R n ). Corollary If u L 1 loc (Rn ) satisfies, for all v C c (R n ): uv = 0, (44) then u = 0. 24

33 14 L p spaces and weak derivatives 6 October L p spaces For proofs of the following results we refer to [2] Chapter 6. L p (U) is complete. C c (U) is dense in L p (U) for p <. These two properties characterize L p (U) up to unique isomorphism (see notes on completion) Integral operators In the following (as always) we only consider integration with respect to Lebesgue measure. Theorem Suppose U R n and V R m are open. Suppose K : U V R is measurable, and that we have two constants 0 C 0, C 1 < such that: for a.e. x U K(x, y) dy C 0. (64) and for a.e. y V K(x, y) dx C 1. (65) Pick p [1, ] and define q [1, ] by: 1 p + 1 = 1. (66) q Pick u L p (V ). Then the following holds. For a.e. x U the function y K(x, y)u(y) is in L 1 (V ). Moreover the expression: (Ku)(x) = K(x, y)u(y)dy, (67) defines a function Ku L p (U) which satifies: V Ku Lp (U) C 1 q 0 C 1 p 1 u L p (V ). (68) If one does not worry about which functions are measurable, this is just a clever application of Hölder s inequality. The measure-theoretic details of the proof, which involves an appeal to the Fubini and Tonelli theorems, are beyond the scope of this course.

43 Compulsory exercise To be handed in on 27 October 2016 Some notation: For x R n : x = (x x 2 n) 1/2. (70) Exercise We define: R + = {x R : x > 0}. (71) For any continuous function w : R n R + define the space: X w = {u : R n R : u is measurable and u 2 w < }. (72) For u X w we define: u w = ( u 2 w) 1/2. (73) (a) Fix a continuous function w : R n R +. Check that X w is a vector space and that w defines a norm on this space. In the following we always consider X w as equipped with this norm. Show that for any open bounded subset U of R n we have a continous linear surjection: X w L 2 (U), (74) defined by u u U. (b) Pick two functions w 0 and w 1, which are continuous R n R +.

Suppose we have, for each n N a function u n X w0 X w1. Suppose that the sequence (u n ) converges in X w0 to u X w0. Suppose also that (u n ) is bounded in X w1. Check that there exists a constant C 0 such that for any open bounded subset U of R n : u 2 w 1 C. (77) U Use the monotone convergence theorem to deduce that u X w1. Show that (u n ) converges to u in X wθ for any θ ]0, 1[. Exercise (a) Show that there exists a function θ C c (R n ) such that: You may use smoothing by convolution. x R n x 1 θ(x) = 1. (78) 43
44 (b) Let θ be a function as in (a). For non-zero m N define θ m : R n R by : θ m (x) = θ(x/m). (79) Fix p [1, + [. - Show that for any u L p (R n ), the functions θ m u are in L p (R n ) and converge to u in L p (R n ), as m. You may want to prove it first for u C c (R n ). - Show that for any u W 1,p (R n ), the functions θ m u are in W 1,p (R n ) and converge to u in W 1,p (R n ), as m. (c) Use known results on smoothing by convolution to deduce that C c (R n ) is dense in W 1,p (R n ) for all p [1, + [. Exercise Let u and v be two continuous maps R n R. Suppose supp u E and supp v F, with E and F closed subsets of R n, F being, in addition, bounded. (a) Show that E + F is closed, where we denote: (b) Show that supp(u v) E + F. E + F = {x + y : x E, y F }. (80) Exercise In this exercise we identify C with R 2 in the standard way.

47 20 Density theorems 3. November 2016 Reference: [1] 5.3. Evans presents three theorems on the approximation of elements in Sobolev spaces by smooth functions. Theorem 1 says that as long as one stays away from the boundary, smoothing by convolution will do the job. Theorem 2 shows how one can get global approximation by smooth functions defined on the whole of U. Theorem 3 shows how one can get global approximation by smooth funcitons defined on a neighborhood of U. Notice that contrary to Theorem 2, this uses some smoothness assumption on U. Of these three, the most useful one is the last, because it shows that there are dense subspaces of W 1,p (U) for which integration by parts makes sense. This is used to define traces of functions on the boundary (See Evans 5.5). 47

49 21 Trace theorem 7. November 2016 Reference: [1] The trace operator W 1,p (U) L p ( U) Notice that there are essentially three ingredients in its definition: A lemma on the construction of linear operators (extension by continuity from dense subspaces). A so-called estimate on functions, proved for smooth enough functions defined on a half-space. In this setting integration by parts, Leibniz rules and Hölder s inequality can all be safely applied. The technique of partitions of unity and straightening of the boundary. 49

51 22 On W 1,p (U) 22.1 Characterizations of W 1,p 0 (U) 10. November 2016 Theorem Let U be bounded, open and of class C 1. We suppose p [1, [. Then for any u W 1,p (U) the following are equivalent: u can be approximated by elements of C c The trace of u on U (defined in L p ( U)) is zero. The extension of u by zero outside U is in W 1,p (R n ) Poincaré inequality (U) in the W 1,p (U) norm. Proposition Let U R n be open and bounded. There exists C > 0 such that for all u H 1 0(U) we have: u 2 C grad u 2. (85) 22.3 Some exercises Evans Chapter 5, exercises 7 and 8. An exercise using density of smooth functions. U Exercise For any function u : R n R and x R n we define τ x u : R n R by: y R n (τ x u)(y) = u(y x). (86) Show that for any u H 1 0(R n ) and any x R n : U u τ x u L 2 (R n ) x grad u L 2 (R n ). (87) You may start by noticing that for u C c (R n ): u(y) u(z) = 1 0 grad u(z + t(y z)) (y z)dt. (88) An exercise to look back at the first few lectures. Exercise Pick a real c > 0. Given a function v : R 3 R we consider the equation, on R 3 : u + c 2 u = v. (89) Given v C(R 3 ), a strong solution to the equation (89) is a function u C 2 (R 3 ) such that (89) holds in the sense of pointwise differentiation. Given v L 1 loc (R3 ), a weak solution to the equation (89) is a function u L 1 loc (R3 ) such that for all φ Cc (R 3 ): u( φ + c 2 φ) = vφ. (90) 51

(e) For this question you may use the result of question (c) in Exercise Pick v L 2 (R 3 ) and u H 1 (R 3 ).

53 23 The Dirichlet principle Already known to Gauss, but used and extended by Riemann under this name. Reading assignment: in Evans Inner products In the following all vector spaces are real. The following is the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality (we check that it doesn t require positive definiteness). Proposition Let X be a vector space and a a symmetric bilinear form on X with the property: u X a(u, u) 0. (96) Then: and the function: defines a seminorm on X. u, v X a(u, v) a(u, u) 1/2 a(v, v) 1/2, (97) { X R, u a(u, u) 1/2. Proof. (i) Pick u, v X, for which we want to prove (97). We first write for all λ R:, (98) 0 a(u + λv, u + λv) = a(u, u) + 2λa(u, v) + λ 2 a(v, v). (99) With λ = sign a(u, v) we get: From this we deduce, for all t > 0: 2 a(u, v) a(u, u) + a(v, v). (100) 2 a(u, v) = 2 a(tu, t 1 v) t 2 a(u, u) + t 2 a(v, v). (101) If both a(u, u) = 0 and a(v, v) = 0, then a(u, v) = 0 and we are done. Suppose then, that a(u, u) 0. If a(v, v) = 0 we get a(u, v) = 0 by letting t 0, so we are also done. If a(v, v) 0, choosing t so that: gives the result. (ii) We have: t 2 = a(v, v) 1/2 /a(u, u) 1/2, (102) a(u + v, u + v) 1/2 = (a(u, u) + 2a(u, v) + a(v, v)) 1/2, (103) (a(u, u) + 2a(u, u) 1/2 a(v, v) 1/2 + a(v, v)) 1/2, (104) a(u, u) 1/2 + a(v, v) 1/2. (105) This is the main ingredient in showing that (98) defines a seminorm. 53
54 In the above circumstaces, the seminorm is a norm iff: a(u, u) = 0 u = 0. (106) In this case we call a an inner product on X and we say that (X, a) is an inner product space. When X is equipped with the norm defined by a, a is a continuous bilinear form on X. Definition A Hilbert space is an inner product space which is complete. Recall that for any normed vector space X, its dual is the space of continuous linear forms on X. We denote the dual by X. It is equipped with the norm: where it is understood that only non-zero u are used. l(u) l = sup u X u, (107) Proposition Let (X, a) be an innerproduct space and l X. Let F : X R denote the functional defined by: For any u X, the following are equivalent: There is at most one such u. F (u) = 1 a(u, u) l(u). (108) 2 v X a(u, v) = l(v). (109) v X F (u) F (v). (110) Remark Let (X, a) be an inner product space. Then, for u X: a(u, v) u = sup = a(u, ) X. (111) u X v In other words the linear map: { X X, u a(u, ). (112) is an isometry. The following result is called the Riesz representation theorem. Theorem Let (X, a) be a Hilbert space. Then for any l X there exists a unique u X such that: Proof. Let F be the functional defined in (108). For any v X we have: v X a(u, v) = l(v). (113) F (v) 1 2 v 2 l v, (114) 1 2 ( v l )2 1 2 l l 2. (115) 54
55 Define: Let (u n ) be a sequence in X such that: (one says that (u n ) is a minimizing sequence ). We have (from the parallelogram identity ): I = inf{f (v) : v X}. (116) F (u n ) I. (117) 1 4 u n u m 2 = 1 2 u n u m 2 u n + u m 2, 2 (118) = F (u n ) l(u n ) + F (u n ) l(u n ) (119) 2(F ( u n + u m 2 ) l( u n + u m )), (120) 2 = F (u n ) + F (u m ) 2F ( u n + u m ), 2 (121) F (u n ) I + F (u m ) I. (122) It follows that (u n ) is Cauchy (notice how the fact that I > enters the argument). Let u be its limit. By continuity of F, F (u) = I, so F achieves its minimum at u. Remark Let (X, a) be an inner product space. It follows from the completeness of R, that X is complete 1, so in order for the map (112) to be onto, it is necessary that (X, a) is complete. The theorem says that this condition is also sufficient Lax-Milgram The following defines orthogonal projection in a Hilbert space. Proposition Let X be a Hilbert space and Y a closed subspace. Then for any u X, there is a unique v Y such that u v Y. Proof. Let, denote the scalar product of X. The vector space Y, equipped with the restriction of, is a Hilbert space. Also, u, is a continuous linear form on Y. We may apply the Riesz representation theorem. The following theorem, proposition or lemma (according to taste) is known as Lax-Milgram. Proposition Let X be a Hilbert space, and let a be continuous bilinear form on X, which is coercive in the sense that for some α > 0: u X a(u, u) α u 2. (123) Then for any l X there exists a unique u X such that: v X a(u, v) = l(v). (124) 1 More generally, if X is a normed vector space any Y is a Banach space, then the space L(X, Y ) of continuous linear maps X Y, equipped with the operator norm, is a Banach space. 55
56 Proof. (sketch) Let, denote the scalar product of X. For any u X denote by Au X the unique solution to the problem: v X Au, v = a(u, v), (125) given by the Riesz representation theorem. Then A : X X is linear and continuous. Moreover: Au α u. (126) One deduces that Ran A is closed. If Ran A X we may find, by the above corollary, a non-zero u X such that u Ran A. We would get: Therefore A is an isomorphism. α u 2 a(u, u) = Au, u = 0. (127) Remark Consider the hypotheses of the proposition and suppose in addition that a is symmetric. Then a is an inner product on X. It defines a norm on X which is equivalent to the original one. Therefore (X, a) is a Hilbert space and Lax-Milgram reduces to the Riesz representation theorem. 56
57 24 Second order elliptic PDEs 24.1 Variational formulation [1] 6.1, 6.2.1, Theorem Let U R n be open and bounded. For any f L 2 (U) there is a unique u H 1 0(U) such that: u H 1 0(U) grad u grad u = fu. (128) Remark Equation (128) is called (by definition) the weak formulation of the equation: u = f. (129) The boundary condition u U = 0 is encoded by the condition u H 1 0(U). u is the unique point where the Dirichlet functional reaches its minimum on H 1 0(U). Any minimizing sequence converges to u in H 1 0(U) Galerkin method Céa s lemma Some exercises Evans Chapter 6: Exercises 1,2,3,4. In Exercises 3 and 4 give explanations for the why these can be called weak solutions. 57
58 25 The space W 1,1 of an interval 25.1 The space W 1,1 of an interval Proposition Let a < b be two reals and consider the interval I =]a, b[. (i) Suppose v L 1 (I) and define u : I R by: Then: u(x) = x a v(y)dy. (130) a. u is continuous. b. u is differentiable almost everywhere, (in the classical sense) with u (x) = v(x). c. v is the weak derivative of u. (ii) We have: a. There exists C > 0 such that for all u W 1,1 (I): u L (I) C u W 1,1 (I). (131) b. Any u W 1,1 (I) coincides a.e. with an element of C(I). c. If u W 1,1 (I) C(I) and v L 1 (I) denotes the weak derivative of u, we have: x I u(x) = u(a) + x Proof. (i) a: by the Lebesgue dominated convergence theorem b: by the Lebesgue differentiation theorem. c: We write, for any φ C 0 (I): b where χ is defined by: and Fubini was used.

59 a and b : For u C 1 (I) we have: Hence: So: (b a) u(x) u(x) = u(y) + u(y) + b a y x b a u(y) dy + (b a) u (z)dz, (138) u (z) dz. (139) b a u (z) dz. (140) u L (I) 1 b a u L 1 (I) + u L 1 (I). (141) For u W 1,1 (I), we may find a sequence u n C 1 (I), such that u n u in W 1,1 (I). By the inequality (141) it is Cauchy in C(I). The limit in C(I) must be equal a.e. to the limit in W 1,1 (I) (why?). So we may consider that u C(I). Then (141) holds for each u n and we may pass to the limit n. c: For u W 1,1 (I) C(I), we may find a sequence u n C 1 (I), such that u n u in W 1,1 (I). By the preceding results it converges uniformly to u. For each x I: u n (x) = u n (a) + x a u n(y)dy. (142) Since u n converges pointwise to u and u n converges in L 1 (I) to v, we may let n in this identity. Exercise Let I be a bounded open interval. Show that if p ]1, [, then for any u W 1,p (I) we have for a.e. x, y I: u(x) u(y) x y 1 1/p u Lp (I). (143) Exercise Let U R n be open. Pick u L 1 (U).

The Cantor - Lebesgue function f is a certain continuous function [0, 1] [0, 1] with the following two rather paradoxical properties: f C : C [0, 1] is onto. on the complement of C, f is differentiable with differential 0. In particular the Cantor - Lebesgue function is a continuous and a.e. differentiable function, such that the a.e. differential is in L 1 (]0, 1[), but such that, for x > 0: f(x) f(0) + x 0 f (y)dy, (146) where we denote by f the a.e. differential of f (which is 0). Notice that f is not in W 1,1 (]0, 1[). References: page in [2], or page in [7]. 60
