Title: On the derivation of some classical inequalities by using multilevel methods
Time: 4:00pm, Wednesday, November 13, 1996

Abstract:

Let D be a polygonal domain and H1(D) the Sobolev space of functions with first weak derivatives in L2(D). A norm on H1(D) may be defined by means of a decomposition in terms of a nested sequence of subspaces of piecewise linear functions (finite elements). The norm on H1/2(B), with B the boundary of D, may be similarly represented. We will see that, using these representations, some well known relations between these norms can be derived quite easily.
