The Lax-Milgram theorem states that if $H$ is a real Hilbert space, $B:H\times H\to \mathbb{R}$ is a bounded bilinear form, and there is an $\alpha >0$ such thatthen for every bounded linear functional $F\in H^{\prime }$ there is a unique $u\in H$ satisfyingMoreover, $\boxed{\Vert u{\Vert }_H\le {\alpha }^{-1}\Vert F{\Vert }_{H^{\prime }}}$. Symmetry of $B$ is not required.
