Product from function in $W^{1,2}_0(Omega)$ and function in $W^{1,2}(Omega)$












1












$begingroup$


I was wandering what i say about product
$$
ueta
$$

where $uin W^{1,2}(Omega)$ and $etain W^{1,2}_0(Omega)$.
In particular, when i can say that
$$
uetain W^{1,2}_0(Omega).
$$

Is it necessary to make more assumptions about u?

    Look out for Hölder's inequality. As it is you will probably only get $u eta in W_0^{1,1}$. For the result you want, you'd need $u in W^{1,infty}$.

    @Marvin: If you first use Sobolev's embedding theorem, one can show a little bit more than $W^{1,1}_0(Omega)$. And you do not need $u in W^{1,infty}$ since one could also assume more regularity of $eta$.

    @gerw True, you are correct that one can show more. And yes, I thought it is only allowed to change the regularity of $u$ in the way the question was proposed. Good answer, +1.

For $u , eta in W_0^{1,2}(Omega)$ you have to prove three things:





  • $u , eta in L^2(Omega)$,


  • $nabla( u , eta ) in L^2(Omega)$, and

  • the trace of $u , eta$ is zero.


The first is easy to get and the last one follows basically from the fact that the trace of $eta$ is zero. The second one is hardest and needs additional assumptions. From the product rule, it is sufficient to check that $u , nabla eta$ and $eta , nabla u$ are in $L^2$. These can be achieved by combining Sobolev's embedding theorem with Hölder's inequality. For example, you it is sufficient to assume one of the following (this list is not exhaustive):





  • $u in W^{1,infty}(Omega)$,


  • $eta in W^{1,infty}(Omega)$,


  • $u, eta in L^infty(Omega)$,


  • $u, eta in W^{1,p}(Omega)$ with $p$ large enough (depending on the dimension).

    You can approximate $eta$ by compactly supported functions. The product of these functions with $u$ will have zero trace.
