Jul 7, 2015 at 19:07 comment added Joonas Ilmavirta @user75795, yes, it means that they are the same element of $H^{-1}$. That means that they are the same when integrated against any function in $H^1_0$, which is the same as the usual weak definition.
Jul 7, 2015 at 18:53 comment added user75795 So when i write $Lu=f$ with $ f \in L^2$ what does it mean? It means that they are the same operator, so they are the same element of $H^{-1}$?

Jul 7, 2015 at 16:44 comment added Joonas Ilmavirta @user75795, yes, that is the same thing. You can define $L$ using $B$ in this way. But you should check that it agrees with the classical definition for smooth functions. (I removed my earlier comment, which was a respond to an earlier version of your comment.)
Jul 7, 2015 at 16:40 comment added user75795 Thanks. Isn't this the bilinear form $B[u,v]$ associated with $L$? So what's the difference between $L$ and $B[u,v]$? $$ \langle Lu,v\rangle = \int_\Omega -a_{ij}D_juD_iv+b_iD_iuv+cuv. $$
