On variants of $H$-measures and compensated compactness

Abstract

We introduce new variant of $H$-measures defined on spectra of general algebra of test symbols and derive the localization properties of such $H$-measures. Applications for the compensated compactness theory are given. In particular, we present new compensated compactness results for quadratic functionals in the case of general pseudo-differential constraints. The case of inhomogeneous second order differential constraints is also studied.
