Nov 30, 2020 at 22:48 comment added Giorgio Metafune Well, the apriori bound must be turned into an existence proof. This should work (details are omitted): approximate $u$ by $u_\epsilon$, smooth and with compact support in the $H^1$ norm and solve $\Delta A_\epsilon-A_\epsilon (u^2_\epsilon+\epsilon)=u_\epsilon\nabla u_\epsilon$ using Lax-Milgram to get existence in $H^1$. Then the above computations give the boundedness of $\|\nabla A_\epsilon\|_2 $ and $\|A_\epsilon\|_6$. Lettting $\epsilon \to 0$ you get existence in $L^6$ (with gradient in $L^2$)
Nov 30, 2020 at 19:43 comment added Jakob Möller A little question (maybe trivial): Why can we perform integration by parts?

Nov 30, 2020 at 16:36 comment added Leo Moos Oops, thank you Giorgio!
Nov 30, 2020 at 15:46 comment added Giorgio Metafune First estimate $\|Au\|_2$ neglecting $\nabla A$ which has the same sign. Then insert this estimate in the RHS.
Nov 30, 2020 at 15:40 comment added Leo Moos I'm being a bit obtuse, but how does the integral give a bound $\lVert \nabla A \rVert_2$? The same trick as for $\lVert Au \rVert_2$ (dividing both sides) isn't available.
