[论文解读] The $p$-CurlCurl : Spaces, traces, coercivity and a Helmholtz decomposition in $L^p$
本文为p-CurlCurl问题建立了L^p框架,该问题是高温超导体建模中p-Laplacian的旋转类比。通过一种新颖的Helmholtz分解和L^p空间中的Friedrich不等式,证明了弱解的存在性与唯一性,将经典的H(curl)与H(div)理论推广至非线性、非一致椭圆的设定,并适用于C^1边界。
This work provides the foundation for the finite element analysis of an elliptic problem which is the rotational analogue of the $p$-Laplacian and which appears as a model of the magnetic induction in a high-temperature superconductor operating near it's critical current. Whereas the function theory for the $p$-Laplacian requires standard results in $L^p$ Sobolev spaces, this problem requires an extension to $L^p$ spaces of the well-known $L^2$ theory for divergence free vector fields, as used in the finite element method applied to incompressible flows and electromagnetic radiation. Among other things, the analysis requires extensions to $L^p$ of the well-known $H(\operatorname{div}; Ω)$ and $H(\operatorname{curl};Ω)$, extensions of traces and Green's theorem, a Helmholtz decomposition and finally a Friedrich's inequality. In this paper, we provide a proof of the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions of our so-called $p$-CurlCurl problem. In a companion paper, the analysis is extended to treat continuous and finite element solutions of the nonlinear parabolic problem whose spatial term is the $p$-CurlCurl operator. Many of the results presented here are either already known, known in slightly different forms or are proven with the help of techniques that are already well-known. The main novelty of this paper appears to be the structured form of this $L^p$ theory and our form of the Helmholtz decomposition and of the Friedrich's inequality. In this respect, we note that some of these results can be found in the works of M. Dauge, M. Mitrea and I. Mitrea.
研究动机与目标

- 证明了p-CurlCurl算子在空间X₀ = {u ∈ W^p(curl; Ω) : ∇·u = 0, n×u = 0 on ∂Ω} 上是半连续、强单调且强制的,从而可应用单调算子理论。

- 在L^p空间中为旋度算子建立了Friedrich不等式,提供了强制性估计:‖∇×u‖_{L^p}^p ≤ C‖u‖_{W^p(curl)}^p,其中u ∈ X₀。
- 由(A u, v) = ∫_Ω |∇×u|^{p-2} ∇×u · ∇×v dx 定义的算子A是半连续、强单调且强制的,因此可通过单调算子理论保证解的存在性与唯一性。
- 逆算子A⁻¹是连续的,意味着解关于X₀’中数据S的稳定性。
- 该分析为抛物型p-CurlCurl问题的有限元方法提供了理论基础,本文聚焦于椭圆情形。
