$H$ Hilbert space, $a:H\times H \to\mathbb R$ a bilinear form with $|a(x,y)|\le C\|x\| \|y\|$ and $a(x,x)\ge\alpha\|x\|^2$ $\forall x,y\in H$ , $C>0, \alpha>0$, $L$ continuous linear functional on $H$
I already could prove that there exists a linear operator S, such that: $a(x,y)=(Sx,y)$
How can it be followed that there exists an unique $u\in H$, such that $\forall v\in H: a(u,v)=L(v)$ ?
The second thing I am interested in is: for $a(\cdot,\cdot)$ symmetric I define $\phi(x)=\frac{1}{2}a(x,x)-L(x)\forall x\in H$. Now it should be possible to characterize $u$ through $\phi(u)=\min_{x\in H}\phi(x)$ But how?
