Let $A$ be a homogeneous elliptic differential operator of order $m$ on $% \Bbb{R}^{N}$ with constant complex coefficients. A partial version of the main result is as follows: Suppose that $u\in L_{loc}^{1}$ and that $Au\in L^{p}$ for some…

For a Lipschitz domain we show that solutions of certain first order systems are unique. This result is then applied to prove a crucial step for showing Korn's first inequality as well as to prove the 'infinitesimal rigid displacement lemma…
