Is $i: (C^1, ||·||_{W^{1,2}}) → (C^0, ||·||_∞)$ a linear, continuous, compact map?

$begingroup$



Consider the map
$$i: (C^1[0,1], ||·||_{W^{1,2}}) → (C^0[0,1], ||·||_∞)$$
which maps every function to itself, and with Sobolev norm defined as
$$||u||_{W^{1,2}}=||u||_{L^2}+||u'||_{L^2}.$$
Is $i$ linear, continuous, compact?




Linearity



Consider $u,vin C^1[0,1]$ and $a,bin mathbb{R}$:



$i(au+bv)=au+bv=ai(u)+bi(v)$



Continuity



By fundamental theorem of calculus: $u(x)=u(0)+int_0^x u'(t)dt$. Then:



$begin{align*}
|u(x)| &le |u(0)|+int_0^x |u'(t)|dt \
&le |u(0)|+int_0^1 |u'(t)|dt \
&le C|u(0)|^2+Cint_0^1 |u'(t)|^2dt \
&le Cint_0^1 |u(t)|^2dt+Cint_0^1 |u'(t)|^2dt \
&le C(||u||_{L^2}+||u'||_{L^2}) \
&=C||u||_{W^{1,2}}
end{align*}$



for $C$ large enough and by mean value theorem.



Since $i$ is linear and bounded, it is also continuous.



Compactness



$i$ is defined on an infinite-dimensional space, so by Riesz theorem the closed unit ball $B$ is not compact. If the dual norm of $i$ would be $1$, then we could say that $i(B)subseteq B$, and so also $i$ would not be compact. But in this exercise I cannot show this is the case.



Are the computations for linearity and continuity correct?



How to check the compactness?

For compactness it has to be shown that a bounded set is relatively compact.
Now let $G$ be a bounded set, i.e. there is an $M$ such that for all $f in G$ it holds $ ||f||_{L^2} + ||f'||_{L^2} le M$.



If we can show now that all elements of $G$ satisfy a uniform Hölder condition (see Arzela-Ascoli theorem in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arzel%C3%A0%E2%80%93Ascoli_theorem#Lipschitz_and_H%C3%B6lder_continuous_functions) then the set is relatively compact and we are done.



And in fact : Let $a, b in [0,1]$, and $f in G $. Then we have $ |f(a)-f(b)| = |int_a^b f' | = |int_a^b (f' times 1) | le ||f'||_{L^2[a,b]} ||1||_{L^2[a,b]} = ||f'||_{L^2[a,b]}|a-b|^{1/2} le ||f'||_{L^2}|a-b|^{1/2} le M|a-b|^{1/2}.$



So Arzela-Ascoli is applicable and we have proven the requested property.



For continuity as $i$ is linear, then $i$ is continuous iff there is a constant $C$ such that for all $u$ it holds $||u||_infty le C (||u||_{L^2}+||u'||_{L^2})$.
Now let us pick some $u$. Then there is a $rin [0,1]$ where $u^2$ attains its minimum. And $|u|$ attains its minimum in $r$ as well. This $r$ is clearly dependant on $u$. But for any $xin [0,1]$ we have $|u(x)| = |int^x_r u'(t)dt +u(r)| le |int^x_r u'(t)dt| +|u(r)| = |int^x_r u'(t) times 1 dt| +|int_0^1 |u(r)| times 1 dt| le ||u'||_{L^2} + |int_0^1 |u(t)| times 1 dt|le ||u'||_{L^2} + ||u||_{L^2}$



Thus $C=1$ and we are done.

For compactness it has to be shown that a bounded set is relatively compact.
Now let $G$ be a bounded set, i.e. there is an $M$ such that for all $f in G$ it holds $ ||f||_{L^2} + ||f'||_{L^2} le M$.



If we can show now that all elements of $G$ satisfy a uniform Hölder condition (see Arzela-Ascoli theorem in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arzel%C3%A0%E2%80%93Ascoli_theorem#Lipschitz_and_H%C3%B6lder_continuous_functions) then the set is relatively compact and we are done.



And in fact : Let $a, b in [0,1]$, and $f in G $. Then we have $ |f(a)-f(b)| = |int_a^b f' | = |int_a^b (f' times 1) | le ||f'||_{L^2[a,b]} ||1||_{L^2[a,b]} = ||f'||_{L^2[a,b]}|a-b|^{1/2} le ||f'||_{L^2}|a-b|^{1/2} le M|a-b|^{1/2}.$



So Arzela-Ascoli is applicable and we have proven the requested property.



For continuity as $i$ is linear, then $i$ is continuous iff there is a constant $C$ such that for all $u$ it holds $||u||_infty le C (||u||_{L^2}+||u'||_{L^2})$.
Now let us pick some $u$. Then there is a $rin [0,1]$ where $u^2$ attains its minimum. And $|u|$ attains its minimum in $r$ as well. This $r$ is clearly dependant on $u$. But for any $xin [0,1]$ we have $|u(x)| = |int^x_r u'(t)dt +u(r)| le |int^x_r u'(t)dt| +|u(r)| = |int^x_r u'(t) times 1 dt| +|int_0^1 |u(r)| times 1 dt| le ||u'||_{L^2} + |int_0^1 |u(t)| times 1 dt|le ||u'||_{L^2} + ||u||_{L^2}$



Thus $C=1$ and we are done.

    Thank you very much! Could you also say if the computation about continuity is correct?

    Linearity is Ok, but the way you show the continuity seems not ok. E.g. the constant $C$ is dependant on the choice of $u$.

    That is needed for the inequality $|int_0^1 |u(r)| times 1 dt| le |int_0^1 |u(t)| times 1 dt|$. Note that the first integrand is constant but the second is not.
