After deriving an approximate monotonicity property for{ui}and a continuous version of the Luckhaus lemma (Simon, 1996) onS2, we show that, passing to a subsequence,{ui}converges strongly inW1,2topology wherever there is small energy concentration.}, number={30}, publisher={Hindawi Limited}, author={Miao}, year={2004} }
