The Coercivity of uniformly positive definite Matrix of Sobolev function












1












$begingroup$


For $u=(u^1,ldots, u^N)in W^{1,2}(Omega,R^N)$ where $Omega$ is bounded. We define
$$ E[u]=int_Omega g_{ij}(u)nabla u^inabla u^jdx$$
where $G=(g_{ij})_{1leq i,jleq N}$ is an given uniformly positive definite matrix, i.e. $xi^Tcdot G(u)cdot xigeq alpha|xi|^2>0$ no matter the value of $u$. Now my text book conclude that
$$ E[u]geq lambda|nabla u|_{L^2}^2 $$
without prove. May it is a simple fact but I can not work it out. Could somebody help me to write done the details? Thx!

          I think that you forgot $|xi|^2$ in the definition the uniformly positive definite matrix. With this adjustment what you want to prove is straightforward.

            @wisher So is your definition correct? Take $xi=0$ see what happens.

            I see what your point. Sorry it is an typo. But what I want to ask is that, as $u^j$ $u^i$ are different functions, we can not just apply the definition of positive definite matrix.
