Uniqueness of solution for $a(u,v)=F(v)$












0












$begingroup$


Let $a(u,v)$ be a bilinearform on a hilbert space $mathcal{H}$ which satisfies all conditions for the Lax-Milgram Lemma.



Furthermore,
$$a(u,v)=F(v), forall vinmathcal{H}$$ for a bounded functional $F$ on $mathcal{H}$.



I don't understand why a solution $u$ has to be unique.



Using Lax-Milgram we obtain a unique linear operator $T$ such that
$$langle Tu,vrangle = F(v)$$
Then using the Riesz Theorem I can obtain another unique $winmathcal{H}$ with
$$langle Tu,vrangle = F(v)=langle v,wrangle$$



So we have that, since $w$ is unique that $Tu=w$. Why is $u$ then unique?

Coercivity of $a$ implies that if $a(u,u) = 0$ then $u = 0$.



Suppose that $a(u,v) = F(v)$ and $a(w,v) = F(v)$ both hold for all $v in H$. Then
$$a(u-w,v) = 0$$ for all $v in H$ and in particular
$$a(u-w,u-w) = 0.$$ Thus $u-w = 0$.

  • $begingroup$
    I also know the LM-Lemma not involving coercivity, and if I am not mistaken, coercivity also implies invertibility of $T$ and then we have a unique solution.
