Abstract

We characterize matrix polynomials P,QP,Q such that the inequality Q(D)uL2CP(D)uL2for all uCc(Ω), \left\Vert Q(D)u\right\Vert _{L^{2}}\leq C\left\Vert P(D)u\right\Vert _{L^{2}}\quad\text{for all }u\in C_c^\infty(\Omega), holds on bounded open sets Ω\Omega. We also characterize the operators P,QP,Q for which the linear continuous embedding above is compact, i.e., if unCc(Ω)u_n\in C_c^\infty(\Omega) are such that (P(D)un)n1(P(D)u_n)_{n\geq 1} is bounded in L2L^2, then (Q(D)un)n1(Q(D)u_n)_{n\geq 1} is strongly compact in L2L^2.
