Prove that $u=v$












1












$begingroup$


I got the following integral identity
$$int_{Omega}left[H(nabla u)(nabla H)(nabla u)-H(nabla v)(nabla H)(nabla v)right]cdotnablaleft(u-vright);dx=0$$
and i want to prove that $u=v$.



Note that $H$ is a Finsler norm, who is homogeneous of degree 1 and convex. How can I use that? Also, since every two norms are equivalent on $mathbb{R}^N$ there exists a,b>0 so that $a|x|leq H(x)leq b|x|$.

    You need some kind of boundary condition, otherwise you can't rule out examples of the form $u-v=mathrm{const.}$
