A direct proof of the surjectivity of divergence operator
$begingroup$
The main question that I want to solve is that:
Let ${X^k}_{k=-infty}^infty$ be a sequence of (Banach) spaces which are subsets of distribution space $mathcal D'(Omega)$ where $Omegasubsetmathbb R^n$, satisfies
(a) $fin X^k$ iff $nabla fin X^{k-1}otimesmathbb R^n$;
(b) Either (i) $nabla$ is injective, or (ii) polynomials lays in $bigcap_{k=1}^infty X^k$;
Then the divergence $operatorname{div}:X^kotimesmathbb R^nto X^{k-1}$ is surjection.
The answer in Show that the divergence operator is onto gives a proof of the surjection of $operatorname{div}:L^2(mathbb R^n)to H^1(mathbb R^n)$, moreover the same argument shows is also holds if $X^k$ are reflexive spaces. But it use Hahn-Banach which is non-constructive.
Here is the idea that I already have, denote $Y^k={finmathcal D'(Omega):(phimapstolangle f,phirangle)in(X^k)^*}$, then ${Y^k}$ satisfies (a) and (b) ($Y^k$ satisfies (b) maybe a bit nontrivial).
Set $tilde X^k={finmathcal D'(Omega):(phimapstolangle f,phirangle)in(Y^k)^*}$. Then $X^ksubsettilde X^k$ is a closed subspace, and the argument shows that given $fin X^k$ there a preimage $Fintilde X^{k+1}otimesmathbb R^n$ satisfies $f=operatorname{div} F$.
If $tilde X^k=X^k$ the proof is done (inparticular $X^k=C_b^k(Omega)$ or $X^k=W^{k,p}(Omega)$ are true). But what if $tilde X$ is strictly larger? The non-constructive can only guarantee the existence in $tilde X^{k+1}$ instead of $ X^{k+1}$, and I didn't find a good characterization for the kernel of divergence.
