In this paper a new div-curl result is established in an open set $\Omega$ of $\mathbb{R}^N$, $N\geq 2$, for the product of two sequences of vector-valued functions which are bounded respectively in $L^p(\Omega)^N$ and $L^q(\Omega)^N$, with…

We investigate conditions under which, for two sequences $(u_r)$ and $(v_r)$ weakly converging to $u$ and $v$ in $L^p(R^d;R^N)$ and $L^{q}(R^d;R^N)$, respectively, $1/p+1/q \leq 1$, a quadratic form $q(x;u_r,v_r)=\sum\limits_{j,m=1}^N q_{j…

A uniformly continuously integrable sequence of real-valued measurable functions, defined on some probability space, is relatively compact in the $\sigma(L^1,L^\infty)$ topology. In this paper, we link such a result to weak convergence…

The main object of this paper is to study the concept of weak $I^K$-convergence, a generalization of weak $I^*$-convergence of sequences in a normed space, introducing the idea of weak* $I^K$-convergence of sequences of functionals where…

H-distributions associated to weakly convergent sequences in Sobolev spaces are determined. It is shown that a weakly convergent sequence $(u_n)$ in $W^{-k,p}( \R^d)$ has the property that $\theta u_n$ converges strongly in $W^{-k,p}(\R^d)$…

We consider the following critical weakly coupled elliptic system \[ \begin{cases} -\Delta u_i = \mu_i |u_i|^{2^*-2}u_i + \sum_{j \neq i} \beta_{ij} |u_j|^{\frac{2^*}{2}} |u_i|^{\frac{2^*-4}{2}} u_i & \text{in $\Omega_\varepsilon$} u_i >0 &…

In this paper we study compactness and quantization properties of sequences of 1/2-harmonic maps $u_k\colon\R\to {\cal{S}}^{m-1}$ such that $|u_k|_{\dot H^{1/2}(\R,{\cal{S}}^{m-1})}\le C.$ More precisely we show that there exist a weak…

We state necessary and sufficient conditions for weak lower semicontinuity of $u\mapsto\int_\Omega h(x,u(x))\,d x$ where $|h(x,s)|\le C(1+|s|^p)$ is continuous and possesses a recession function, and $u\in L^p(\Omega;\mathbb{R}^m)$, $p>1$,…

We study the weak continuity of two interrelated non-linear partial differential equations, the Yang-Mills equations and the Gau{\ss}-Codazzi-Ricci equations, involving $L^p$-integrable connections. Our key finding is that underlying…

Let $E$ be a Banach space such that $E'$ has the Radon-Nikod\'ym property. The aim of this work is to connect relative weak compactness in the $E$-valued martingale Hardy space $H^{1}(\mu,E)$ to a convex compactness criterion in a weaker…

For $n\ge 3$, let $\Omega$ be a bounded domain in $R^n$ and $N$ be a compact Riemannian manifold in $R^L$ without boundary. Suppose that $u_n\in W^{1,n}(\Omega,N)$ are the Palais-Smale sequences of the Dirichlet $n$-energy functional and…

We consider the following question: Given a connected open domain $\Omega\subset R^n$, suppose $u,v:\Omega\rightarrow R^n$ with $\det(\nabla u)>0$, $\det(\nabla v)>0$ a.e. are such that $\nabla u^T(x)\nabla u(x)=\nabla v(x)^T \nabla v(x)$…

We show that a homogeneous convolution kernel on an arbitrary homogeneous group which is L \log L on the unit annulus is bounded on L^p for 1 < p < \infty and is of weak-type (1,1), generalizing the result of Seeger. The proof is in a…

This article deals with the lower compactness property of a sequence of integrands and the use of this key notion in various domains: convergence theory, optimal control, non-smooth analysis. First about the interchange of the weak…

We study the closure of approximating sequences of some diffusion equations under certain weak convergence. A specific description of the closure under weak $H^1$-convergence is given, which reduces to the original equation when the…

In this note we give a very short proof of the div-curl lemma in the limit conjugate case $\mathcal M-L^\infty$, where $\mathcal{M}$ is the set of Radon measures on $\mathbb{R}^d$. The proof follows the classical approach by defining here…

We prove global and local versions of the so-called div-curl-lemma, a crucial result in the homogenization theory of partial differential equations, for mixed boundary conditions on bounded weak Lipschitz domains in 3D with weak Lipschitz…

Given $1< p < q < \infty$ it is well know that the natural embedding of Lebesgue sequence spaces $\ell_p \hookrightarrow \ell_q$ is strictly singular. In this paper we extend this classical results and show that even the natural non-compact…

Necessary and sufficient oscillation conditions are given for a weakly convergent sequence (resp. relatively weakly compact set) in the Bochner-Lebesgue space $\l1$ to be norm convergent (resp. relatively norm compact), thus extending the…
