I have the intution that the functional $$A(u)=int_Omega |nabla u(x)|^2 dx + 1/2cdotint_Omega (1-|u(x)|^2)^2 dx quad forall u in H^1(Omega) $$ where $Omega $ is a bounded domain of $mathbbR^N$, is coercive, that is $$ lim_Vert u Vertrightarrow inftyA(u)=infty$$ where $Vert uVert^2= int_Omega|nabla u|^2 +int_Omega | u |^2 $. I dont know how to prove it. I am stucked. Is there any theorial result that can be helpful in order to prove it that I should know?



This is my attempt:
$$ A(u)geq int_Omega |nabla u(x)|^2 dx +1/2 int_u (1-|u(x)|^2)^2 dx geq int_Omega |nabla u(x)|^2 dx +1/2 int_u |u(x)|^2 dx = Vert u Vert^2- int_ |u(x)|^2 dx = Vert u Vert^2-Crightarrow infty$$ am I right?

          $begingroup$

          Your functional is not coercive. For example, fix $Omega = [0,1] subseteq mathbbR$ and consider $u_n(x) = x^n+1$. Then $nabla u(x) = (n+1)x^n$ and so
          $$|u|^2 = (n+1)^2 int_0^1 x^2n dx + int_0^1 x^2(n+1) dx = frac(n+1)^22n + frac12(n+1) to infty$$ as $n to infty$. However
          $$Au_n = (n+1) int_0^1 x^n dx + int_0^1 (1- x^2(n+1))^2 dx = 2 + frac14n+1 - frac1n+1$$
          is a bounded sequence.




          Edit: After you've edited, your new functional is coercive by basically your attempt, except for the fact a factor of a half mysteriously goes missing at some point. This is easily dealt with however since you only want a lower bound that doesn't care about multiplicative factors.

            It needn't be in general (unless you assume enough to get this from a sobolev embedding). I assume the correct interpretation of your problem is that $A$ takes values in $[0,infty]$ and if $Au = infty$ then you have no problem with coercivity.
