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.

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.     

Regularity and finite dimensionality of attractor for plate equation on R<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Superscript>

This paper addresses the regularity and finite dimensionality of the global attractor for the plate equation on the unbounded domain. The existence of the attractor in the phase space has been established in an earlier work of the author. It is shown that the attractor is actually a bounded set of the phase space and has finite fractal dimensionality.

Singular limit of equations for linear viscoelastic fluids with periodic boundary conditions

We consider a one-parameter family of problems, governing, for any fixed parameter, the motion of a linear viscoelastic fluid in a two-dimensional domain with periodic boundary conditions. The asymptotic behavior of each problem is analyzed, by proving the existence of the global attractor. Moreover, letting the parameter go to zero, since the memory effect disappears, we obtain a limiting problem, given by the Navier-Stokes equations. For any fixed parameter, we construct an exponential attractor. The resulting family is robust, meaning that these exponential attractors converge, in an appropriate sense, to an exponential attractor of the limiting problem.     

Global and Trajectory Attractors for a Nonlocal Cahn–Hilliard–Navier–Stokes System

The Cahn–Hilliard–Navier–Stokes system is based on a well-known diffuse interface model and describes the evolution of an incompressible isothermal mixture of binary fluids. A nonlocal variant consists of the Navier–Stokes equations suitably coupled with a nonlocal Cahn–Hilliard equation. The authors, jointly with P. Colli, have already proven the existence of a global weak solution to a nonlocal Cahn–Hilliard–Navier–Stokes system subject to no-slip and no-flux boundary conditions. Uniqueness is still an open issue even in dimension two. However, in this case, the energy identity holds. This property is exploited here to define, following J.M. Ball’s approach, a generalized semiflow which has a global attractor. Through a similar argument, we can also show the existence of a (connected) global attractor for the convective nonlocal Cahn–Hilliard equation with a given velocity field, even in dimension three. Finally, we demonstrate that any weak solution fulfilling the energy inequality also satisfies a dissipative estimate. This allows us to establish the existence of the trajectory attractor also in dimension three with a time dependent external force.     

On Finite Fractal Dimension of the Global Attractor for the Wave Equation with Nonlinear Damping

We prove that the global attractor to a semilinear damped wave equation has finite fractal dimension provided that the damping function and the lower order nonlinearity are smooth with certain polynomial growth.     

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.     

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.     

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.     

The route to chaos for the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation

We present the results of extensive numerical experiments of the spatially periodic initial value problem for the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation. Our concern is with the asymptotic nonlinear dynamics as the dissipation parameter decreases and spatio-temporal chaos sets in. To this end the initial condition is taken to be the same for all numerical experiments (a single sine wave is used) and the large time evolution of the system is followed numerically. Numerous computations were performed to establish the existence of windows, in parameter space, in which the solution has the following characteristics as the viscosity is decreased: a steady fully modal attractor to a steady bimodal attractor to another steady fully modal attractor to a steady trimodal attractor to a periodic (in time) attractor, to another steady fully modal attractor, to another time-periodic attractor, to a steady tetramodal attractor, to another time-periodic attractor having a full sequence of period-doublings (in the parameter space) to chaos. Numerous solutions are presented which provide conclusive evidence of the period-doubling cascades which precede chaos for this infinite-dimensional dynamical system. These results permit a computation of the lengths of subwindows which in turn provide an estimate for their successive ratios as the cascade develops. A calculation based on the numerical results is also presented to show that the period-doubling sequences found here for the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation, are in complete agreement with Feigenbaum's universal constant of 4.669201609.... Some preliminary work shows several other windows following the first chaotic one including periodic, chaotic, and a steady octamodal window; however, the windows shrink significantly in size to enable concrete quantitative conclusions to be made.This research was supported in part by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration under NASA Contract No. NASI-18605 while the authors were in residence at the Institute of Computer Applications in Science and Engineering (ICASE), NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton, VA 23665.

Local and Global Lyapunov exponents

Various properties of Local and Global Lyapunov exponents are related by redefining them as the spectral radii of some positive operators on a space of continuous functions and utilizing the theory developed by Choquet and Foias. These results are then applied to the problem of estimating the Hausdorff dimension of the global attractor and the existence of a critical trajectory, along which the Lyapunov dimension is majorized, is established. Using this new estimate, the existing dimension estimate for the global attractor of the Lorenz system is improved. Along the way a simple relation between topological entropy and the fractal dimension is obtained.     

Existence and Characterization of Attractors for a Nonlocal Reaction–Diffusion Equation with an Energy Functional

In this paper we study a nonlocal reaction–diffusion equation in which the diffusion depends on the gradient of the solution. Firstly, we prove the existence and uniqueness of regular and strong solutions. Secondly, we obtain the existence of global attractors in both situations under rather weak assumptions by defining a multivalued semiflow (which is a semigroup in the particular situation when uniqueness of the Cauchy problem is satisfied). Thirdly, we characterize the attractor either as the unstable manifold of the set of stationary points or as the stable one when we consider solutions only in the set of bounded complete trajectories.

     

Dynamic bifurcation of the <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-dimensional complex Swift-Hohenberg equation

This paper is concerned with the bifurcation of a complex Swift-Hohenberg equation. The attractor bifurcation of the complex Swift-Hohenberg equation on a one- dimensional domain （0, L） is investigated. It is shown that the n-dimensional complex Swift-Hohenberg equation bifurcates from the trivial solution to an attractor under the Dirichlet boundary condition on a general domain and under a periodic boundary condition when the bifurcation parameter crosses some critical values. The stability property of the bifurcation attractor is analyzed.     

Global analysis of the phase portrait for the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation

The global behavior of the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation is studied. The existence of an absorbing ball in every Sobolev norm is proved. The transition of energy from low modes to high ones is observed. An upper estimate for the Hausdorff dimension of the attractor is given. The main tool is to use the methods of the theory of ordinary differential equations in the investigation of partial differential equations.     

Viscoelastic Solids of Exponential Type. II. Free Energies,Stability and Attractors

The asymptotic behavior for solutions of the semilinear motion equation of a linear viscoelastic solid of exponential type (VSET) is studied and the existence of a global attractor is proved. These results are obtained by means of a suitable class of quadratic free energies defined on the minimal state space and making use of semigroup techniques. This is the second part of a plan which was started in a previous paper [6] by the study of state-space representation, minimality and controllability for VSET.

No assumption on the hyperbolicity of the stationary solutions is made.
