Let the following be hilbert spaces with dens inclusions $V ↪H=H^* ↪V^*$. Where $H^*$ and $V^*$ are the duals. $H$ has the product $(*,*)$ and $V×V^*$ has the product $⟨*,*⟩$. Let $u∈L^2 ([0,T];V); ...

Convergence in $H^{-2}$ of $L^2$-functions with limit in $L^2$

Assume a sequence $f_n$ in $L^2(\mathbb{R}^d)$ converges in $H^{-2}$ (w.r.t. its norm topology) to a limit $f \in L^2(\mathbb{R}^d)$. In this case, can one improve the convergence, for instance to ...

Is this a well known space? Perhaps homogeneous Sobolev-like space?

The homogeneous Sobolev space $\dot H^s(\mathbb{R}^n) $ is often defined as the closure of $\mathcal{S}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ under the norm $$ || |\omega|^s \widehat{f} ||_{L^2(\mathbb{R}^d)} =\int_{\...
