Korn's First Inequality with variable coefficients and its generalization

Waldemar Pompe (2003)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

If Ω n is a bounded domain with Lipschitz boundary Ω and Γ is an open subset of Ω , we prove that the following inequality Ω | A ( x ) u ( x ) | p d x 1 / p + Γ | u ( x ) | p d n - 1 ( x ) 1 / p c u W 1 , p ( Ω ) holds for all u W 1 , p ( Ω ; m ) and 1 < p < , where ( A ( x ) u ( x ) ) k = i = 1 m j = 1 n a k i j ( x ) u i x j ( x ) ( k = 1 , 2 , ... , r ; r m ) defines an elliptic differential operator of first order with continuous coefficients on Ω ¯ . As a special case we obtain Ω u ( x ) F ( x ) + ( u ( x ) F ( x ) ) T p d x c Ω | u ( x ) | p d x , ( * ) for all u W 1 , p ( Ω ; n ) vanishing on Γ , where F : Ω ¯ M n × n ( ) is a continuous mapping with det F ( x ) μ > 0 . Next we show that ( * ) is not valid if n 3 , F L ( Ω ) and det F ( x ) = 1 , but does hold if p = 2 , Γ = Ω and F ( x ) is symmetric and positive definite in Ω .
