Global attractor for Klein-Gordon-Schroedinger lattice system

We considered the longtime behavior of solutions of a coupled lattice dynamical system of Klein-Gordon-Schroedinger equation （KGS lattice system）. We first proved the existence of a global attractor for the system considered here by introducing an equivalent norm and using ＂End Tails＂ of solutions. Then we estimated the upper bound of the Kolmogorov delta-entropy of the global attractor by applying element decomposition and the covering property of a polyhedron by balls of radii delta in the finite dimensional space. Finally, we presented an approximation to the global attractor by the global attractors of finite-dimensional ordinary differential systems.     

Global Attractors of Evolutionary Systems

An abstract framework for studying the asymptotic behavior of a dissipative evolutionary system with respect to weak and strong topologies was introduced in Cheskidov and Foias (J Differ Equ 231:714–754, 2006) primarily to study the long-time behavior of the 3D Navier-Stokes equations (NSE) for which the existence of a semigroup of solution operators is not known. Each evolutionary system possesses a global attractor in the weak topology, but does not necessarily in the strong topology. In this paper we study the structure of a global attractor for an abstract evolutionary system, focusing on omega-limits and attracting, invariant, and quasi-invariant sets. We obtain weak and strong uniform tracking properties of omega-limits and global attractors. In addition, we discuss a trajectory attractor for an evolutionary system and derive a condition under which the convergence to the trajectory attractor is strong.     

Global attractors for the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations

In this paper we show that the weak solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations on any bounded, smooth three-dimensional domain have a global attractor for any positive value of the viscosity. The proof of this result, which bypasses the two issues of the possible nonuniqueness of the weak solutions and the possible lack of global regularity of the strong solutions, is based on a new point of view for the construction of the semiflow generated by these equations. We also show that, under added assumptions, this global attractor consists entirely of strong solutions.     

Trajectory and Global Attractors of the Boundary Value Problem for Autonomous Motion Equations of Viscoelastic Medium

We introduce the concept of minimal trajectory attractor generalizing the known concept of trajectory attractor of an abstract evolution equation. We obtain several results on existence and properties of minimal trajectory and global attractors without assumptions of any invariance of the trajectory space of an equation. With the help of these results we prove existence of minimal trajectory and global attractors for weak solutions of the boundary value problem for autonomous motion equations of an incompressible viscoelastic medium with the Jeffreys constitutive law.

Weak Attractor for a Dissipative Euler Equation

A two-dimensional dissipative Euler equation is considered. We proved the existence of a global attractor in a weak sense, for the corresponding shift dynamical system in path space.     

Continuity of Dynamical Structures for Nonautonomous Evolution Equations Under Singular Perturbations

In this paper we study the continuity of invariant sets for nonautonomous infinite-dimensional dynamical systems under singular perturbations. We extend the existing results on lower-semicontinuity of attractors of autonomous and nonautonomous dynamical systems. This is accomplished through a detailed analysis of the structure of the invariant sets and its behavior under perturbation. We prove that a bounded hyperbolic global solutions persists under singular perturbations and that their nonlinear unstable manifold behave continuously. To accomplish this, we need to establish results on roughness of exponential dichotomies under these singular perturbations. Our results imply that, if the limiting pullback attractor of a nonautonomous dynamical system is the closure of a countable union of unstable manifolds of global bounded hyperbolic solutions, then it behaves continuously (upper and lower) under singular perturbations.     

On Single Mode Forcing of the 2D-NSE

We examine how the global attractor of the 2D periodic Navier- Stokes equations projects in the energy–enstrophy-plane when the force is an eigenvector of the Stokes operator. We find sharper bounds than in Dascaliuc et al. (J Dyn Diff Equat 17:643–736, 2005) for a general force. We also find regions of the plane in which the energy and enstrophy must decrease, and calculate the curvature of the projected solution at certain initial data. Finally, we obtain restrictions on solutions that project onto a single point in the plane.     

Gevrey Regularity for Nonlinear Analytic Parabolic Equations on the Sphere

The regularity of solutions to a large class of analytic nonlinear parabolic equations on the two-dimensional sphere is considered. In particular, it is shown that these solutions belong to a certain Gevrey class of functions, which is a subset of the set of real analytic functions. As a consequence it can be shown that the Galerkin schemes, based on the spherical harmonics, converge exponentially fast to the exact solutions, as the number of modes involved in the approximation tends to infinity. Furthermore, in the case that the underlying evolution equation has a global attractor, then this global attractor is contained in the space of spatially real analytic functions whose radii of analyticity are bounded uniformly from below.     

Global Attractor for Impulsive Reaction-Diffusion Equation

In this paper, we consider a reaction-diffusion equation with nonsmooth nonlinearity whose solutions have impulse effects at fixed moments of time. We show how this object generates a nonautonomous multivalued dynamical system and prove the existence of a compact semiinvariant global attractor in the phase space. __________ Published in Neliniini Kolyvannya, Vol. 8, No. 3, pp. 319–328, July–September, 2005.     

Attractors for Gradient Flows of Nonconvex Functionals and Applications

This paper addresses the long-time behaviour of gradient flows of nonconvex functionals in Hilbert spaces. Exploiting the notion of generalized semiflows by J. M. Ball, we provide some sufficient conditions for the existence of a global attractor. The abstract results are applied to various classes of nonconvex evolution problems. In particular, we discuss the long-time behaviour of solutions of quasistationary phase field models and prove the existence of a global attractor.     

Navier–Stokes Equations with Navier Boundary Conditions for an Oceanic Model

We consider the Navier–Stokes equations in a thin domain of which the top and bottom surfaces are not flat. The velocity fields are subject to the Navier conditions on those boundaries and the periodicity condition on the other sides of the domain. This toy model arises from studies of climate and oceanic flows. We show that the strong solutions exist for all time provided the initial data belong to a “large” set in the Sobolev space H ¹. Furthermore we show, for both the autonomous and the nonautonomous problems, the existence of a global attractor for the class of all strong solutions. This attractor is proved to be also the global attractor for the Leray–Hopf weak solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations. One issue that arises here is a nontrivial contribution due to the boundary terms. We show how the boundary conditions imposed on the velocity fields affect the estimates of the Stokes operator and the (nonlinear) inertial term in the Navier–Stokes equations. This results in a new estimate of the trilinear term, which in turn permits a short and simple proof of the existence of strong solutions for all time.     

Evolution of Domains of Attraction of a Forced Beam with Two-Mode Interaction

When a dissipative dynamical system has multiple attractors, it is a task to determine and recognize the global domain of attraction of each attractor. In this paper we study the global behavior of a forced hinged-clamped beam with two-mode interaction. The equation of motion of the beam is reduced to four first-order autonomous ordinary differential equations. The system has an internal resonance condition of 2 31, where 1 and 2 denote natural frequencies of the first and second modes, respectively. When the excitation frequency is near 1, the system can have three equilibrium solutions, among which two are asymptotically stable and one is unstable. We examine how the domains of attraction of two stable equilibrium solutions evolve as the forcing frequency is varied across jump points. By using a special plane which contains all equilibrium points, called the principal plane, the global domains of attraction can be discussed more effectively. Results show that knowledge of this evolution helps us better understand the jump phenomenon.     

Spatial Analyticity on the Global Attractor for the Kuramoto–Sivashinsky Equation

For the Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation with L-periodic boundary conditions we show that the radius of space analyticity on the global attractor is lower-semicontinuous function at the stationary solutions, and thereby deduce the existence of a neighborhood in the global attractor of the set of all stationary solutions in which the radius of analyticity is independent of the bifurcation parameter L. As an application of the result, we prove that the number of rapid spatial oscillations of functions belonging to this neighborhood is, up to a logarithmic correction, at most linear in L.     

A Permutation Related to Non-compact Global Attractors for Slowly Non-dissipative Systems

We consider scalar reaction-diffusion equations with non-dissipative nonlinearities generating global semiflows which exhibit blow-up in infinite time. This type of equations was only recently approached and the corresponding dynamical systems are known as slowly non-dissipative systems. The existence of unbounded solutions, referred to as grow-up solutions, requires the introduction of some objects interpreted as equilibria at infinity. By extending known results, we are able to obtain a complete decomposition of the associated non-compact global attractor. The connecting orbit structure is determined based on the Sturm permutation method, which yields a simple criterion for the existence of heteroclinic connections.     

Uniform attractors for non-autonomous Klein-Gordon-Schrǒdinger lattice systems

The existence of a compact uniform attractor for a family of processes corresponding to the dissipative non-autonomous Klein-Gordon-Schrodinger lattice dynamical system is proved. An upper bound of the Kolmogorov entropy of the compact uniform attractor is obtained, and an upper semicontinuity of the compact uniform attractor is established.     

On the formation of hidden chaotic attractors and nested invariant tori in the Sprott A system

We consider the well-known Sprott A system, which depends on a single real parameter a and, for \(a=1\), was shown to present a hidden chaotic attractor. We study the formation of hidden chaotic attractors as well as the formation of nested invariant tori in this system, performing a bifurcation analysis by varying the parameter a. We prove that, for \(a=0\), the Sprott A system has a line of equilibria in the z-axis, the phase space is foliated by concentric invariant spheres with two equilibrium points located at the south and north poles, and each one of these spheres is filled by heteroclinic orbits of south pole–north pole type. For \(a\ne 0\), the spheres are no longer invariant algebraic surfaces and the heteroclinic orbits are destroyed. We do a detailed numerical study for \(a>0\) small, showing that small nested invariant tori and a limit set, which encompasses these tori and is the \(\alpha \)- and \(\omega \)-limit set of almost all orbits in the phase space, are formed in a neighborhood of the origin. As the parameter a increases, this limit set evolves into a hidden chaotic attractor, which coexists with the nested invariant tori. In particular, we find hidden chaotic attractors for \(a<1\). Furthermore, we make a global analysis of Sprott A system, including the dynamics at infinity via the Poincaré compactification, showing that for \(a>0\), the only orbit which escapes to infinity is the one contained in the z-axis and all other orbits are either homoclinic to a limit set (or to a hidden chaotic attractor, depending on the value of a), or contained on an invariant torus, depending on the initial condition considered.     

Buckling and nonlinear dynamics of elastically coupled double-beam systems

This paper deals with damped transverse vibrations of elastically coupled double-beam system under even compressive axial loading. Each beam is assumed to be elastic, extensible and supported at the ends. The related stationary problem is proved to admit both unimodal (only one eigenfunction is involved) and bimodal (two eigenfunctions are involved) buckled solutions, and their number depends on structural parameters and applied axial loads. The occurrence of a so complex structure of the steady states motivates a global analysis of the longtime dynamics. In this regard, we are able to prove the existence of a global regular attractor of solutions. When a finite set of stationary solutions occurs, it consists of the unstable manifolds connecting them.     

Uniform attractors for non-autonomous Klein-Gordon-Schrödinger lattice systems

The existence of a compact uniform attractor for a family of processes corresponding to the dissipative non-autonomous Klein-Gordon-Schrödinger lattice dynamical system is proved. An upper bound of the Kolmogorov entropy of the compact uniform attractor is obtained, and an upper semicontinuity of the compact uniform attractor is established.     

Higher-Order Global Regularity of an Inviscid Voigt-Regularization of the Three-Dimensional Inviscid Resistive Magnetohydrodynamic Equations

We prove existence, uniqueness, and higher-order global regularity of strong solutions to a particular Voigt-regularization of the three-dimensional inviscid resistive magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations. Specifically, the coupling of a resistive magnetic field to the Euler-Voigt model is introduced to form an inviscid regularization of the inviscid resistive MHD system. The results hold in both the whole space ${\mathbb{R}^3}$ and in the context of periodic boundary conditions. Weak solutions for this regularized model are also considered, and proven to exist globally in time, but the question of uniqueness for weak solutions is still open. Furthermore, we show that the solutions of the Voigt regularized system converge, as the regularization parameter ${\alpha \rightarrow 0}$ , to strong solutions of the original inviscid resistive MHD, on the corresponding time interval of existence of the latter. Moreover, we also establish a new criterion for blow-up of solutions to the original MHD system inspired by this Voigt regularization.
