Abstract

top
In this work, we construct, by means of the function space interpolation theory, a natural norm for a generic linear coercive and non-symmetric operator. We look for a norm which is the counterpart of the energy norm for symmetric operators. The natural norm allows for continuity and inf-sup conditions independent of the operator. Particularly we consider the convection-diffusion-reaction operator, for which we obtain continuity and inf-sup conditions that are uniform with respect to the operator coefficients, and therefore meaningful in the convectiondominant regime. Our results are preliminary to a deeper understanding and analysis of the numerical techniques for non-symmetric problems.
