On Poincaré's and J.L. Lions' lemmas
[Sur les lemmes de Poincaré et de J.L. Lions]
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Tome 340 (2005) no. 1, pp. 27-30.

Soit Ω un ouvert borné de RN connexe et simplement connexe à frontière lipschitzienne. On montre qu'un champ vectoriel à composantes dans H−1(Ω) dont le rotationnel est nul est le gradient d'une fonction dans L2(Ω). On montre que cette généralisation d'un lemme classique de Poincaré est equivalent à un lemme très connu de J.L. Lions.

Let Ω be a bounded, connected and simply connected open subset of RN with a Lipschitz continuous boundary. It is shown that an irrotational vector field whose components are in H−1(Ω) is the gradient of a function in L2(Ω). It is also shown that this generalization of a classical lemma of Poincaré is equivalent to a well-known lemma of J.L. Lions.
