Rellich-Kondrachov reduction from the compact embedding to a compact opK #
The Fredholm alternative of Fredholm.lean is conditioned on the abstract hypothesis
IsCompactOperator (opK). This file traces that hypothesis to its single analytic source: the
Rellich-Kondrachov compact embedding H₀¹(Ω) ↪ L²(Ω), encoded as the coordinate-0 map
embL2 Ω : H₀¹(Ω) →L[ℝ] L²(Ω).
embL2 Ω: the embeddingU ↦ U 0, the composition of the submodule inclusion with thePiLpprojection onto coordinate0.opT_eq_adjoint_comp: theL²form operator factors asopT = (embL2)† ∘ embL2, because⟪opT U, V⟫ = ⟪U₀, V₀⟫_{L²} = ⟪embL2 U, embL2 V⟫.opT_isCompact/opK_isCompact: givenIsCompactOperator (embL2 Ω), bothopTandopK = γ·opE⁻¹·opTare compact, by composing the compact embedding with bounded operators.fredholm_alternative_rellich/fredholm_unique_imp_exists_rellich: the Fredholm theorems re-stated to take the single hypothesisIsCompactOperator (embL2 Ω)in place of the opaque operator-levelIsCompactOperator (opK). The compact embedding for boundedΩis the one analytic input (Rellich-Kondrachov), threaded as a hypothesis exactly as the Poincaré geometry input was, and deliberately not discharged here.
The coordinate-0 embedding H₀¹(Ω) ↪ L²(Ω), U ↦ U 0, as a continuous linear map:
the PiLp projection onto coordinate 0 precomposed with the submodule inclusion.

Instances For
Factorisation of the L² form through the embedding: opT = (embL2)† ∘ embL2. Indeed
⟪opT U, V⟫ = ⟪U₀, V₀⟫_{L²} = ⟪embL2 U, embL2 V⟫ = ⟪(embL2)† (embL2 U), V⟫.
Given the Rellich compact embedding, the L² form operator opT is compact: it is the
compact embL2 postcomposed with the bounded (embL2)†.
Given the Rellich compact embedding, the reduction operator opK = γ·opE⁻¹·opT is compact:
opT is compact and opK postcomposes it with the bounded opE⁻¹ and scales it.
Fredholm alternative on the Rellich embedding hypothesis (Evans §6.2.3,
Theorem 4). Identical to
fredholm_alternative, but conditioned on the single analytic input IsCompactOperator (embL2 Ω)
(the Rellich-Kondrachov compact embedding for bounded Ω) rather than the opaque
IsCompactOperator (opK): either Lu = 0 has a nontrivial weak solution, or Lu = f has a
unique weak solution for every f.
Fredholm corollary on the Rellich embedding hypothesis: if the homogeneous problem
Lu = 0 has only the trivial weak solution, then Lu = f has a unique weak solution for every
f, assuming the Rellich-Kondrachov compact embedding.
