What does the notation $\langle u, v \rangle_{H^{-1}, H^1}$ mean? Is it simply $u(v)$ or does it have something to do with inner products on $H^{-1}$ and $H^1$?

Just a notation: it says that $u \in H^{-1}$, that $v \in H$, and that $u$ acts on $v$ as $u(v)$.

0Is $H^{-1}$ defined via the Fourier transform, the way it is for $H^s$ for any real $s$, or is $H^{-1}$ something else? – 2013-03-14
