The boundedness in the Sobolev space and the weak sequential compactness of bounded sequences in a reflexive Banach space give a subsequence converging weakly to some . For each integer , the Rellich-Kondrachov compactness theorem makes compact because the dimension is two. Repeated extraction followed by the diagonal argument gives one subsequence converging strongly to in every with integral .
For any finite real , choose an integer . Since has finite measure, the Lp inclusion on a finite measure space givesThe same subsequence therefore works for every finite .
