  • Definition of Hβˆ’1(U)H^{-1}(U)

    definitiondef:pde-hminus1-u-2026aAnalysisPDE
    Let UβŠ‚RnU\subset \mathbb{R}^n be open. Define Hβˆ’1(U)H^{-1}(U) as the dual space of H01(U)H_0^1(U) with norm βˆ₯Fβˆ₯Hβˆ’1(U):=sup⁑{∣⟨F,v⟩∣:v∈H01(U),βˆ₯vβˆ₯H01(U)≀1}\|F\|_{H^{-1}(U)}:=\sup\{ |\langle F,v\rangle| : v\in H_0^1(U), \|v\|_{H_0^1(U)}\le 1\}. Here the dual pairing is denoted ⟨F,v⟩\langle F,v\rangle.

  • Weak Formulation and Lax-Milgram Existence for Poisson-Dirichlet

    theoremthm:pde-poisson-dirichlet-lax-milgram-2026cAnalysisPDE
    Let UβŠ‚RnU\subset \mathbb{R}^n be bounded with Lipschitz boundary and f∈Hβˆ’1(U)f\in H^{-1}(U) (see \ref{def:pde-hminus1-u-2026a}). Then there exists a unique u∈H01(U)u\in H_0^1(U) (see \ref{def:pde-h01-u-2026a}) such that ∫Uβˆ‡uβ‹…βˆ‡v dx=⟨f,v⟩forΒ allΒ v∈H01(U).\int_U \nabla u\cdot\nabla v\,dx = \langle f,v\rangle \quad \text{for all } v\in H_0^1(U). Equivalently, with V=H01(U)V=H_0^1(U), this is an application of \ref{thm:analysis-lax-milgram-2026a} to a(u,v)=∫Uβˆ‡uβ‹…βˆ‡v dxa(u,v)=\int_U \nabla u\cdot\nabla v\,dx.

  • Maximum Principle for Harmonic Functions

    theoremthm:pde-maximum-principle-harmonic-2026aAnalysisPDE
    Let U\subset \mathbb{R}^n be bounded and connected, and u\in C^2(U)\cap C(\overline U) with \Delta u=0 in U. Then \max_{\overline U}u = \max_{\partial U}u and \min_{\overline U}u = \min_{\partial U}u. In particular, if u attains an interior maximum or minimum, then u is constant.

    theoremthm:pde-fundamental-solution-laplacian-rn-2026aAnalysisPDE
    For n\ge 3, define \Phi(x)=\frac{1}{n(n-2)\alpha(n)}|x|^{2-n} for x\neq 0, where \alpha(n) is the volume of the unit ball in \mathbb{R}^n. Then -\Delta \Phi = \delta_0 in the sense of distributions.
