Is the gradient of a function in $H^2_0$ in $H^1_0$?

Suppose we have $f\in H^2_0(U)$, so $f$ is the limit of some sequence $(g_n)$ of smooth compactly supported functions on $U\in\mathbb{R}^n$ (assume bounded & smooth boundary) and $f$ is in the ...

$W^{1,p}$ compact in $L^\infty$?

Is $W^{1,p}(0,1)$ compactly contained in $L^\infty(0,1)$? Can I use this to show that I can select a sequence $(u_{n_k})$ from every bounded sequence $(u_n)$ in $W^{1,p}(0,1)$ such that $\lVert ...

Why is this functional coercive?

Let $h\in L^2(0,1)$, such that $|\int h \mathrm{d}x|<1$. On the space $H^1(0,1)$, consider $$J(v)=\frac{1}{2}\int_0^1 v'^2\,\mathrm{d}x+\int_0^1\sqrt{1+v^2}\,\mathrm{d}x-\int_0^1hv \,\mathrm{d}x.$$ ...
