computation of a particular subdifferential
Given a bounded $\Omega\subset R^d$, $N$ functions $F_1,\dots,F_N\in L^\infty(\Omega)$, and a positive integrable $\omega\in L^1_+(\Omega)$, define the following function from $R^N$ to $R$:
$$

Minimizing some $H^{-1}$ functional over (a subset of) probability densities in $R^d$
Let me consider the following subset of probability measures in $R^d$
$$
\mathcal{K}_M=\left\{0\leq u(x)\in L^1(R^d):\quad \int u(x)dx =1,\,\int|x|^2u(x)dx\leq M,\,\int u(x)|\log u(x)|dx\leq M\right\} …

An $L^1$ function but (really) no better?
Question: For a smooth, bounded domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb R^d$, does there exist a function $u\in L^1(\Omega)$ such that
$u\not\in L^\Phi(\Omega)$ for any Orlicz space $\Phi$?
For the definitio …

Weak convergence + convergence of the norm implies strong convergence in Orlicz spaces
It is known [1, proposition 3.32] and a classical trick in PDEs that, in any uniformly convex Banach space $X$, weak convergence $x_n\rightharpoonup x$ together with convergence of the norm $\|x_n\|_X …
