A Sobolev space is a vector space of functions equipped with a norm that is a combination of Lp-norms of the function itself and its derivatives up to a given order.

A distributional normal derivative for functions in $H^1(\Omega)$

Let $\Omega$ be a smooth bounded domain with $\partial\Omega = \Gamma$. I have read this. For all $u \in H^1(\Omega)$ such that $-\Delta u = g \in L^2(\Omega)$ in distribution, we can define the n …

Getting existence for $L^1$ data given existence for $L^\infty$ data and $L^1$ continuous de...

Let $F:\mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ be locally Lipschitz, monotone and continuous. For the sake of concreteness only let us suppose it is of porous medium type (eg. $F(r) = r^{\frac 1m}$.) Let $\Omega …

Pointwise (in time) convergence in $H^{-1}$ implies pointwise weak convergence in $L^q$, why?

Let $u_n \to u$ in $C^0([0,T];H^{-1}(\Omega))$ and suppose $\lVert u_n \rVert_{L^\infty(0,T;L^\infty(\Omega))} \leq C$ for all $n$. It follows that for almost all $t$, $u_n(t)$ is bounded in $L^\inf …

Decay of weak solutions to degenerate parabolic PDEs on manifolds without boundary

The paper Asymptotics of the porous media equation via Sobolev inequalities by Bonforte and Grillo seems to be what you require. They key is the validity of a logarithmic Sobolev inequality.

A question about PDE argument involving monotone convergence theorem and Sobolev space

I'm reading this paper. In it there is the following argument (see page 240). Firstly, what precisely does the author mean by the displayed equation after 66? The PDE in (65) only holds weakly.. $b(\ …

$b_n \rightharpoonup b$ in $L^q(Q) \forall q < \infty$, $b_n \to b$ in $C^0([0,T];H^{-1})$ i...

This question stems from the proof of Theorem A.1 on page 425 of this paper. Let $Q=(0,T)\times \Omega$. Suppose $b_n \rightharpoonup b$ in $L^q(Q)$ for any $q < \infty$ and $b_n \to b$ in $C^0([ …

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a bounded domain and let $u \in L^2(0,T;H^1(\Omega))$ with $u_t \in L^2(0,T;H^{-1}(\Omega))$. Define the truncation function$$T_\epsilon(x) = \begin{cases} -\epsil …

Getting an a priori bound on a nonlinear gradient term in PDE; how to adapt trick from $L^2$...

I have the PDE $$u_t(t) - \Delta f(u(t)) = 0$$ in $H^{-1}(\Omega)$ where $f$ is a nonlinear function. Define $F(s) = \int_0^s f(s)$. Note that if $u_t(t) \in L^2(\Omega)$, $$\frac{d}{dt}F(u(t)) = f( …
