Proof of the interpolation inequality

144 Views Asked by At

Let $\Omega \subseteq R^{n}$ be a bounded domain. I need to prove that for $u\in H^{2}(\Omega)\cap H^{1}_{0}(\Omega)$: \begin{equation} \|\nabla u\|_{L^{2}(\Omega)}^{2}\leq \|u\|_{L^{2}(\Omega)}\|\Delta u\|_{L^{2}(\Omega)} \end{equation} I know that I should prove it for $u\in C^{2}_{0}(\Omega)$ and then use the Global Approximation Theorem with smooth functions to extend $u\in C^{2}_{0}(\Omega)$ to $u\in H^{2}(\Omega)\cap H^{1}_{0}(\Omega)$. Also, I know the following expression could be useful: \begin{equation} \Delta(\frac{u^{2}}{2})=|\nabla u|^{2}+u\Delta u \end{equation} I would appreciate a little help in this, I don't really have an idea to get started.
