Abstract

The closure of sets of feasible states for systems of elliptic equations in the strong topology of the Cartesian product [H01(Ω)]m[H^1_0 (\Omega)]^m of Sobolev spaces is considered. For m=2m = 2 and ΩR2\Omega \subset \mathbb R^2, it is shown that there is a family of linear elliptic operators of the type div (χA1+(1χ)A2)(\chi \mathcal A^1 + (1 - \chi)\mathcal A^2)\triangledown, where χ\chi belongs to the set of all characteristic functions of measurable subsets of Ω\Omega, such that there does not exist a larger family of operators of the type div A\mathcal A \triangledown for which the sets of feasible states coincide with the closure of the original ones.
