Theorem 11.3.3. Let \( u \) be a weak solution of \( {Mu} = f \) in \( \Omega \) with \( u - g \in {H}_{0}^{1,2}\left( \Omega \right) \) . As always, suppose (A11.3).

Proof. The inequalities (11.5.23) and (11.5.24) readily follow from (11.5.14), noting that in the second case, \( v - \bar{v} \) is orthogonal to the constants, the eigenfunctions for \( {\lambda }_{0} = 0 \), since \[ {\int }_{\Omega }\left( {v\left( x\right) - \bar{v}}\right) \mathrm{d}x = 0 \] (11.5.26) As an altern...
