Does strong convergence in $H$ (or $L^2$) imply convergence in $V$ (or $W_0^{1,2}$)?

$begingroup$


Suppose:





  • $mathbf{V}$ and $mathbf{H}$ are Hilbert spaces.


  • $mathbf{V} hookrightarrow mathbf{H}$ is compact embedding.


  • $mathbf{V}$ is dense in $mathbf{H}$.


For example $mathbf{V} = W_0^{1,2}(Omega)$ and $mathbf{H} = L^2(Omega)$ for bounded $Omega in mathbb{R}^n$.



Let $mathbf{u}_n,mathbf{u} in mathbf{V}$. It's implied from the Rellich-Kondrachov embeddidng theorem that bounded $mathbf{u}_n$ in $mathbf{V}$ has convergent subsequence in $mathbf{H}$.



I am asking the opposite question:



Consider a bounded sequence $mathbf{u}_n in mathbf{V}$. If $mathbf{u}_n to mathbf{u}$ strongly in $mathbf{H}$, does it weakly convergent in $mathbf{V}$? Does it converge to the same $mathbf{u}$?



A more general question:



What requirements the sequence $(mathbf{u}_n)_{n in mathbb{N}}$ should have in $mathbf{H}$, so that $mathbf{u}_n$ is




  • weakly convergenent in $mathbf{V}$?

  • Strongly convergent in $mathbf{V}$?


Here is a similar question, but I do not know how this is shown.

          $begingroup$

          If $(u_n)$ is bounded in $V$ and $u_nto u$ in $H$, then $u_nrightharpoonup u$ in $V$:



          As $(u_n)$ is bounded in $V$, it has a weakly converging subsequence $u_{n_k}rightharpoonup v$ in $V$. The continuity of the embedding into $H$ implies $v=u$ and $uin V$.



          Using this argument, one can prove that every subsequence of $(u_n)$ has a subsequence that converges weakly to $u$ in $V$. Hence $u_nrightharpoonup u$ in $V$.
