Coercive weak formulation of a coupled Dirichlet-Neumann system

For $H=H_0^1(U)\times H^1(U)$, the coupled formsatisfiesThe Poincare inequality for $u$ then controls both $\Vert u{\Vert }_2$ and $\Vert w{\Vert }_2$, so the form is coercive on $H$. The Lax-Milgram theorem therefore gives a unique weak solution. The first component has a Dirichlet boundary condition, while the second component's Neumann boundary condition is the natural boundary condition in the weak formulation.
