Several versions of the compensated compactness principle

Journal Article · · Sbornik. Mathematics
The convergence of the product of a solenoidal vector w{sub {epsilon}} and a gradient {nabla}u{sub {epsilon}} in L{sup 1}({Omega}) (where {Omega} is a region in R{sup d}) is investigated in the case when the factors converge weakly in the spaces L{sup {gamma}({Omega})}{sup d} and L{sup {alpha}({Omega})}{sup d}, respectively, with 1/{gamma}+1/{alpha}>1, which means that the main assumption of the classical div-curl lemma fails. Nevertheless, the same convergence (in the sense of distributions in {Omega}) as in the framework of the div-curl lemma, survives under certain additional assumptions. The new versions of the compensated compactness principle proved in the paper can be used in homogenization and in the theory of G-convergence of monotone operators with non-standard coercivity and growth properties, for instance, some degenerate operators.
