Existence of a $C_c^{infty}$ function $Phi$ s.t. $int nabla Phi neq 0.$












0















Let $Omegasubseteq mathbb R^n$ be open , bounded and connected set with $mathcal{L^n}(Omega)>0$. Let $Omega=Omega_1cupOmega_2$ where $Omega_1capOmega_2=emptyset$ with $mathcal{L^n}(Omega_1)>0$ and $mathcal{L^n}(Omega_2)>0.$ Prove that $exists$ $Phiin C_c^{infty}(Omega)$ such that $displaystyle int_{Omega_1}nablaPhi(x)dxneq 0.$




Here $Phi$ is real valued function and $C_c^{infty}(Omega)$ consists of all $C^{infty}(Omega)$ functions which have compact support in $Omega.$



I tried to show by contradiction and wished to have $mathcal{L^n}(Omega_1)=0 $ but couldn't be able to do that.



Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

          Hint: Assuming $Omega_1$ and $Omega_2$ are measurable, then there exists compact set $Fsubset Omega_1$ such that $mathcal{L}^n(F)+varepsilon=mathcal{L}^n(Omega_1)$. Likewise, there exists open set $Gsupset Omega_1$ such that $mathcal{L}^n(G)-varepsilon=mathcal{L}^n(Omega_1)$. Hence $mathcal{L}^n(GcapOmega_2)$ is small.



          Then by smooth Urysohn's lemma there exists $Phi$ smooth such that $Phi equiv 1$ on $F$ and $Phiequiv 0$ on $G^c$.

          • But we need $int_{Omega_1} nabla Phi neq 0.$ So will we have to construct this $Phi$ on $Omega_1setminus F$ in such a way that $nabla Phi$ does not vanish there?

            Nov 21 '18 at 6:01










          • @nurunnesha Well. $Phi$ needs to transition from $1$ to $0$ so $nablaPhi$ will not be small. You could also make $F$ smaller.
