Strict monotonicity without coercivity on H1

ID: strict-monotonicity-without-coercivity-on-h1

The log-cosh derivative operator is strictly monotone on but does not have . Constant functions make the ratio approach . Restricting to removes the uncontrolled constants: Poincaré gives , which proves coercivity. Strict monotonicity and large-norm coercivity are distinct properties.
