Let $OmegasubsetmathbbR^d$ be open, bounded and simply connected with smooth boundary $partialOmega$. Define $mathcalH:=~Delta uin L^2(Omega)$ with norm
$$|u|_mathcalH^2:=|u|_H^1(Omega)^2+|Delta u|_L^2(Omega)^2.$$
I want to show that $H^2(Omega)$ is dense in $mathcalH$ under $|cdot|_mathcalH$.



This means, given $uinmathcalH$ and $varepsilon>0$ I need to find a $u_0in H^2(Omega)$ such that
$$|u-u_0|_H^1(Omega)^2+|Delta u-Delta u_0|_L^2(Omega)^2<varepsilon.$$



Alternatively it means that given a sequence $u_ninH^2(Omega)$ that is Cauchy in $|cdot|_mathcalH$ I need to show that its limit $u$ is in $mathcalH$.



So far I've attempted reasoning as follows:



If $u_n$ is $mathcalH$-Cauchy then also it is $H^1(Omega)$-Cauchy, i.e.,
$$|u_n-u_m|_H^1(Omega)rightarrow0qquad(n,mrightarrowinfty).$$
Hence by completeness there is an $H^1(Omega)$-limit $u$:
$$|u_n-u|_H^1(Omega)rightarrow0qquad(nrightarrowinfty).$$
The issue here is that $Delta u$ is not necessarily defined. One may of course remark that by the same reasoning in the complete space $L^2(Omega)$ the sequence $Delta u_n$ has a limit, say, $y$, in $L^2(Omega)$. But there is no immediate link between $y$ and $u$.



Could one attempt to solve the Dirichlet problem
$$left{beginarrayrclcc
Delta f &=&y&textin&Omega\
f&=&u|_partialOmega&texton&partialOmega
endarrayright.quad?$$

This seems like an incredibly convoluted way to do it, when I feel it should be extremely simple---$H^2(Omega)$ is trivially $H^1$-dense in $H^1(Omega)$.

    Hum. If $Omega=mathbb R^n$, then $mathcalH$ is exactly equal to $H^2(mathbb R^n)$. The same if we consider functions that vanish on $partial Omega$ with their first derivatives (i.e., $H^2_0(Omega)$). In the general case, there's a boundary term: $$lVert Delta frVert_L^2(Omega)^2=lVert D^2 frVert_L^2(Omega)^2 + sum_ijint_partial Omega(partial_j f partial_i^2 f n_j - partial_j f partial_ipartial_q f n_q), dS.$$You probably know these things already but that's all I can say
