i) State the Lax-Milgram lemma.
ii) Consider the boundary value problem
Δ2u−Δu+u=fu=∇u⋅γ=0 in Ω on ∂Ω
where Ω is a bounded domain in Rn with a smooth boundary, γ is the exterior unit normal vector to ∂Ω, and f∈L2(Ω). Show (using the Lax-Milgram lemma) that the boundary value problem has a unique weak solution in the space
H02(Ω):={u:Ω→R;u=∇u⋅γ=0 on ∂Ω}
[Hint. Show that
∥Δu∥L2(Ω)2=i,j=1∑n∥∥∥∥∥∂xi∂xj∂2u∥∥∥∥∥L2(Ω)2 for all u∈C0∞(Ω)
and then use the fact that C0∞(Ω) is dense in H02(Ω).]
