Abstract

While it is classical to consider the solution of the convection-diffusion-reaction equation in the Hilbert space H10(Ω), the Banach Sobolev space W1,q0(Ω), 1 less than ∞ , is more general allowing more irregular solutions. In this paper we present a well-posedness theory for the convection-diffusion-reaction equation in the W1,q0(Ω)-W1,q′0(Ω) functional setting, 1q+1q′=1. The theory is based on directly establishing the inf-sup conditions. Apart from a standard assumption on the advection and reaction coefficients, the other key assumption pertains to a subtle regularity requirement for the standard Laplacian. An elementary consequence of the well-posedness theory is the stability and convergence of Galerkin’s method in this setting, for a diffusion-dominated case and under the assumption of W1,q′-stability of the H10-projector.
