A product property of Sobolev spaces with application to elliptic estimates (Q396487)

The motivation for studying a Sobolev inequality that generalizes the ordinary Banach algebra property of such spaces originated in problems of global bifurcation for strongly elliptic systems that govern the equilibrium of elastic materials. In this context, the obtained main results extend the study made in a book by \textit{T. Valent} [Boundary value problems of finite elasticity. Local theorems on existence, uniqueness, and analytic dependence on data. New York etc.: Springer-Verlag (1988; Zbl 0648.73019)]. The proofs make use of a special case of the usual Sobolev embedding theorem and Gagliardo-Nirenberg-Sobolev inequality. We point out that proving the proved inequality is also useful for elliptic estimates, for regions that satisfy a cone condition.
