Weck's Selection Theorem: The Maxwell Compactness Property for Bounded Weak Lipschitz Domains with Mixed Boundary Conditions in Arbitrary Dimensions

Abstract: It is proved that the space of differential forms with weak exterior and co-derivative, is compactly embedded into the space of square integrable differential forms. Mixed boundary conditions on weak Lipschitz domains are considered. Furthermore, canonical applications such as Maxwell estimates, Helmholtz decompositions and a static solution theory are proved. As a side product and crucial tool for our proofs we show the existence of regular potentials and regular decompositions as well.
