integral constraint induce a manifold on Sobolev space

30 Views Asked by At

given the set $$ M:=\{u\in H^2(\Omega):\int_{\Omega}u=m\,\} $$ $m\in \mathbb{R}$, $\Omega $ is a bounded piecewise smooth domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$.

also denote by $u(t)$ a map: $u(t):(0,T)\to M$

and given a functional $E:\mathbb{R}\to M\to \mathbb{R}$ by $E[u(t)]$.

I want use the chain rule to differentiate $\frac{d}{dt}E=\nabla E\cdot u_t$,

but I am not sure that $M$ is Banach space (so I can't use Frechet derivative),

so what is the correct way of using the chain rule, namely , what is the definition of $\nabla E$ on M (parallel to Frechet derivative)?

Does M is some manifold?

thank you
