We first select a subsequence of $\mathbb{N}$ such that a point in the support $\chi_i$ of $v_{k_{i}}$ has limiting point $x_{\ast} \in \Omega$. This is possible since any bounded sequence in $\mathbb{R}$ has a convergent subsequence. We call it $k_{i}$ again.

Given $\epsilon>0$ there is $i>0$ such that $$

$$ So we know that on the exterior of the support $\Omega_{k_{i}}$ of $v_{k_{i}}$ we have $$

$$ For a function $v_{\ast} \in L^2(\Omega)$ we have that \begin{eqnarray}

\left|\int_{\Omega} |v_{\ast}(y)|^2 |\chi_{k_{i}}(y)|^2 dy \right| \nonumber
& \leq & ||v_{\ast}||_{L^2(\Omega)}^2 \cdot || \chi_{k_{i}} ||_{L^2(\Omega)}^2. \end{eqnarray} Now, we obtain \begin{eqnarray}

+ ||v_{\ast}||_{L^2(\Omega_{k_{i}})}^2 \nonumber
& \rightarrow & 0, \;\; i \rightarrow \infty. \end{eqnarray}

Simple question: is $\frac{1}{x-y}$ analytic in $x$ for fixed $y$?

Answer 1) Yes, since the sum and product of analytic functions are analytic, and the quotient of analytic functions are analytic where the denominator is non-zero.

Answer 2) We use the series expansion $$ \frac{1}{x-y} = (-1) \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{x^n}{y^{n+1}} $$ for $|x|<|y|$, which I took from Wolfram. For $|x|<\rho \cdot |y|$ with $\rho<1$ we have $$

$$ such that $$

$$ is absolutely convergent by the geometric series. Thus, $\frac{1}{x-y}$ is analytic on $|x|<|y|$. For $|x|>|y|$ we use $$ \frac{1}{x-y} = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{y^n}{x^{n+1}} $$ analogously.

Lemma 3.1.1 The sequence $(v_k)$ defined above does not contain a convergent subsequence in $L^2(\Omega)$.

Proof. $\newcommand{\R}{\mathbb{R}}$ $\newcommand{\N}{\mathbb{N}}$ Assume that $v_k$ does contain a convergent subsequence $v_{k_i}$. We consider the sequence of supports $\Omega_{k_{i}}$ of $v_{k_i}$. Now consider the sequence of centres $x_{k_i}^{(centre)}$ of the supports. By the Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem, every bounded sequence in $\R^n$ has a convergent subsequence and so a subsequence $x_|v_{k_i}-v_{\ast}||<\frac{\epsilon}{2}. \end{equation} We know that for any point $x$ lying in the exterior of the support we have $v_{k_i}(x)=0$, then from (\ref{eq:Supp}) we have $$ v_{k_i}(x)=0 \mbox{ for } x\in\Omega\setminus\Omega_{k_i} $$ and therefore (\ref{help0}) becomes \begin{equation} \label{help1} ||v_{\ast}||_{L^2(\Omega\setminus\Omega_{k_i})} = ||v_{k_{k - v_{\ast}||_{L^2(\Omega\setminus\Omega_{k_i})} = ||v_{k_{k}} - v_{\ast}||_{L^2(\Omega)} <\frac{\epsilon}{2} \end{equation} for all $\epsilon>0$ and $i>n_1$.

We define the functions $s_{ki}:\Omega\rightarrow \{0,1\}$ such that $$ s_{ki}(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{c} 1 \; \; \mbox{if } x\in supp_{ki},
0 \; \; \mbox{otherwise.} \end{array}\right. $$ Then, we have $$

&=&\left|\int_{\Omega}|v_{\ast}(y)||s_{k_i}(y)|dy\right|^2
&=&\left|\left\langle v_{\ast},s_{k_i} \right\rangle_{L^2(\Omega)}\right|^2
&\leq& ||v_{\ast}||_{L^2(\Omega)}^2\cdot ||s_{k_i}||_{L^2(\Omega)}^2\label{eq:Argument1}. $$ by the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality.

As $i\rightarrow \infty$, the $L$ and $n_L$ in (\ref{def:vk}) tend to infinity and therefore as $i\rightarrow\infty$, the size of $supp_{k_i}$ tends to zero. Then the right hand side of (\ref{eq:Argument1}) tends to zero and $\forall\epsilon >0$, $\exists n_2\in\N$ such that $\forall i>n_2$ $$

$$ Finally, if we take $n=\max\{n_1,n_2\}$ we obtain $$

$$ for all $i>n$.

However we cannot have $v_{k_i}$ with $||v_{k_i}||_{L^2(\Omega)}=1$ tending to zero. Thus $v_k$ does not contain a convergent subsequence. $\Box$
