Differential Inclusions for Gradient and Symmetrized Gradient Operators

Abstract

In this article, we study the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions in $W_0^{1,\infty}(\Omega;\mathbb R^n)$ in the minimal dimension of $\textrm{span }E$ for the following problem: \begin{equation*} P(D)u\in E \textrm{ a.e. in }\Omega, \end{equation*} where $P(D)= D$ or $D+D^{\top}$, and $E\subseteq \mathbb R^{n\times n}$ is a given set. We conclude this paper with some properties of real symmetric matrices.
