Mar 7, 2014 at 7:36 comment added Piero D'Ancona $v=\Delta u_j$ is a functional on $H^1$, which vanishes on all elements of an orthogonal basis with the exception of $u_j$. The space of functionals with this property is one dimensional and must be generated by $u_j$
Mar 7, 2014 at 6:47 comment added user47808 The second bracket is a duality bracket, how does it ensure that $\Delta u_j$ is a multiple of $u_j$?
Mar 6, 2014 at 17:26 comment added Michael Renardy However, if we are content with orthogonality with respect to an equivalent inner product in one of the spaces, then it can be done. For a lot of purposes, this might be enough.
Mar 6, 2014 at 14:47 comment added Piero D'Ancona $\Delta u_j$ is in $H^{-1}$ since $u_j$ is in $H^1$ by assumption
Mar 6, 2014 at 14:34 comment added Nate Eldredge How do you know $u_j$ is in the domain of the Laplacian?
