Proving the weak closure of Sobolev Spaces,

$begingroup$


I am trying to show the space $W^{1,4}[mathbb{T}^{2}]$ is weakly closed in $W^{1,4}[(0,1)^{2}]$.



$bf{That ~~ is :} $



If $u_{n}rightharpoonup u$. Where $u_{n}in W^{1,4}[mathbb{T}^{2}]$ and $uin W^{1,4} [(0,1)^{2}]$ then $u in W^{1,4}[mathbb{T}^{2}]$.





$bf{Notation :}$



The space $W^{1,4}[mathbb{T}^{2}]={u : uin L^{4}_{loc}(mathbb{R}^{2}) , ~ u_{x_{i}}in L^{4}_{loc}(mathbb{R}^{2}), ~ u(x_{1},x_{2})=u(x_{1}+1,x_{2}), ~u(x_{1},x_{2})=u(x_{1},x_{2}+1) , ~ u textrm{ has zero average. } }$





Here is my attempt (I think my solution is wrong somewhere / or overcomplicated) does anyone have a better solution ? Im rather new to PDEs and working from Evans book.





Let $u_{n}rightharpoonup u$



i) We show that this implies $u(x_{1}+1,x_{2})=u(x_{1},x_{2})$



Take the linear functional $f$ where $f(u)=int_{0}^{k}int_{0}^{k}u^{4} v $, for some $vin C_{c}^{infty}[0,k]^{2}$



Then $f$ is continuous (bounded), indeed $|f(u)|leq k sup_{(0,k)^{2}} (v) int_{(0,1)^{2}} u^{4} = k sup_{(0,k)^{2}} (v) ||u||_{W^{1,4}(0,1)^{2}} $.



Hence by the deff. of weakly convergent $lim_{nto infty} f(u_{n})=f(u)$ so



begin{equation}
lim_{nto infty} int_{0}^{k}int_{0}^{k}u_{n}^{4} v=int_{0}^{k}int_{0}^{k}u^{4} v
end{equation}



But since $u_{n}(x_{1}+1,x_{2})=u_{n}(x_{1},x_{2})$ we have



begin{equation}
lim_{nto infty} int_{0}^{k}int_{0}^{k}u_{n}^{4} v=lim_{nto infty} int_{0}^{k}int_{1}^{k+1}u_{n}^{4} v
end{equation}



Hence (using weak convergence)



begin{equation}
int_{0}^{k}int_{0}^{k}u^{4} v=int_{0}^{k}int_{1}^{k+1}u^{4} v
end{equation}



Now change variables and rearrange



begin{equation}
int_{0}^{k}int_{0}^{k}[u^{4}(x_{1},x_{2})-u^{4}(x_{1}+1,x_{2})] v=0 ~~~ forall vin C_{c}^{infty}(0,k)^{2}
end{equation}



So that $u(x_{1},x_{2})=u(x_{1}+1,x_{2})$.



ii) Showing $ uin L^{4}_{loc}(mathbb{R}^{2}) , ~ u_{x_{i}}in L^{4}_{loc}(mathbb{R}^{2})$, Follows from i)





EDIT : if in the above I instead work with the linear functional $f$ where $f(u)=int_{0}^{k}int_{0}^{k}u v $, (we can use Holder to show its bounded), if were only showing boundedness for $W^{1,4}(T^2)$
