Strong Uniform Attractors for Non-Autonomous Dissipative PDEs with non translation-compact external forces
We give a comprehensive study of strong uniform attractors of non-autonomous
dissipative systems for the case where the external forces are not translation
compact. We introduce several new classes of external forces which are not
translation compact, but nevertheless allow to verify the attraction in a
strong topology of the phase space and discuss in a more detailed way the class
of so-called normal external forces introduced before. We also develop a
unified approach to verify the asymptotic compactness for such systems based on
the energy method and apply it to a number of equations of mathematical physics
including the Navier-Stokes equations, damped wave equations and
reaction-diffusing equations in unbounded domains
Minimality properties of set-valued processes and their pullback attractors
We discuss the existence of pullback attractors for multivalued dynamical
systems on metric spaces. Such attractors are shown to exist without any
assumptions in terms of continuity of the solution maps, based only on
minimality properties with respect to the notion of pullback attraction. When
invariance is required, a very weak closed graph condition on the solving
operators is assumed. The presentation is complemented with examples and
counterexamples to test the sharpness of the hypotheses involved, including a
reaction-diffusion equation, a discontinuous ordinary differential equation and
an irregular form of the heat equation.Comment: 33 pages. A few typos correcte
Time-Dependent Attractor for the Oscillon Equation
We investigate the asymptotic behavior of the nonautonomous evolution problem
generated by the Klein-Gordon equation in an expanding background, in one space
dimension with periodic boundary conditions, with a nonlinear potential of
arbitrary polynomial growth. After constructing a suitable dynamical framework
to deal with the explicit time dependence of the energy of the solution, we
establish the existence of a regular, time-dependent global attractor. The
sections of the attractor at given times have finite fractal dimension.Comment: to appear in Discrete and Continuous Dynamical System
Attractors for the nonlinear elliptic boundary value problems and their parabolic singular limit
We apply the dynamical approach to the study of the second order semi-linear
elliptic boundary value problem in a cylindrical domain with a small parameter
at the second derivative with respect to the "time" variable corresponding to
the axis of the cylinder.
We prove that, under natural assumptions on the nonlinear interaction
function and the external forces, this problem possesses the uniform attractors
and that these attractors tend to the attractor of the limit parabolic
equation. Moreover, in case where the limit attractor is regular, we give the
detailed description of the structure of these uniform attractors when the
perturbation parameter is small enough, and estimate the symmetric distance
between the perturbed and non-perturbed attractors
Averaging of equations of viscoelasticity with singularly oscillating external forces
Given , we consider for the nonautonomous
viscoelastic equation with a singularly oscillating external force together with the
{\it averaged} equation Under suitable assumptions on
the nonlinearity and on the external force, the related solution processes
acting on the natural weak energy space
are shown to possess uniform attractors . Within the
further assumption , the family turns out to
be bounded in , uniformly with respect to .
The convergence of the attractors to the attractor
of the averaged equation as is also
established
Uniform attractors for non-autonomous wave equations with nonlinear damping
We consider dynamical behavior of non-autonomous wave-type evolutionary
equations with nonlinear damping, critical nonlinearity, and time-dependent
external forcing which is translation bounded but not translation compact
(i.e., external forcing is not necessarily time-periodic, quasi-periodic or
almost periodic). A sufficient and necessary condition for the existence of
uniform attractors is established using the concept of uniform asymptotic
compactness. The required compactness for the existence of uniform attractors
is then fulfilled by some new a priori estimates for concrete wave type
equations arising from applications. The structure of uniform attractors is
obtained by constructing a skew product flow on the extended phase space for
the norm-to-weak continuous process.Comment: 33 pages, no figur
Numerical test for hyperbolicity of chaotic dynamics in time-delay systems
We develop a numerical test of hyperbolicity of chaotic dynamics in
time-delay systems. The test is based on the angle criterion and includes
computation of angle distributions between expanding, contracting and neutral
manifolds of trajectories on the attractor. Three examples are tested. For two
of them previously predicted hyperbolicity is confirmed. The third one provides
an example of a time-delay system with nonhyperbolic chaos.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figure
Lower semicontinuity of attractors for non-autonomous dynamical systems
This paper is concerned with the lower semicontinuity of attractors for semilinear
non-autonomous differential equations in Banach spaces. We require the unperturbed
attractor to be given as the union of unstable manifolds of time-dependent hyperbolic
solutions, generalizing previous results valid only for gradient-like systems in which
the hyperbolic solutions are equilibria. The tools employed are a study of the continuity
of the local unstable manifolds of the hyperbolic solutions and results on the continuity of
the exponential dichotomy of the linearization around each of these solutions
