Abstract

It is shown that ukvku_k \cdot v_k converges weakly to uvu\cdot v if uk\weaktouu_k\weakto u weakly in LpL^p and vk\weaklyvv_k\weakly v weakly in LqL^q with p,q(1,)p, q\in (1,\infty), 1/p+1/q=11/p+1/q=1, under the additional assumptions that the sequences \Divuk\Div u_k and \curlvk\curl v_k are compact in the dual space of W01,W^{1,\infty}_0 and that ukvku_k\cdot v_k is equi-integrable. The main point is that we only require equi-integrability of the scalar product ukvku_k\cdot v_k and not of the individual sequences.
