Exponential Attractors in Banach Spaces

In this paper we extend the theory of exponential attractors from the Hilbert space setting in [4] to the Banach space setting. No squeezing conditions are needed; the only requirements are for the semiflow to be C ¹ in some absorbing ball, and for the linearized semiflow at every point inside the absorbing ball to split into the sum of a compact operator plus a contraction.     

Determining Asymptotic Behavior from the Dynamics on Attracting Sets

Two tracking properties for trajectories on attracting sets are studied. We prove that trajectories on the full phase space can be followed arbitrarily closely by skipping from one solution on the global attractor to another. A sufficient condition for asymptotic completeness of invariant exponential attractors is found, obtaining similar results as in the theory of inertial manifolds. Furthermore, such sets are shown to be retracts of the phase space, which implies that they are simply connected.     

复Swift-Hohenberg方程在一些Banach空间内的指数吸引子

本文研究了N-维(N≤3)复Swift-Hohenberg方程在一些Banach空间x~α中解的渐近行为.运用Cholewa等人的技巧,证明了整体解的存在性以及整体吸引子A的存在性.最后,作为本文的另—个主要结果,证明了指数吸引子M的存在性,从而得到A有有限的分形维数.由于应用于Hilbert空间中所谓的挤压性质在我们的框架下不能成立,为了构造M,没有应用Hilbert空间中的标准的方法,而是应用Efendiev,Miranville,和Zelik最近的结果.     

Long time behavior of a singular perturbation of the viscous Cahn–Hilliard–Gurtin equation

We consider a singular perturbation of the generalized viscous Cahn–Hilliard equation based on constitutive equations introduced by Gurtin. This equation rules the order parameter ρ, which represents the density of atoms, and it is given on a n‐rectangle (n?3) with periodic boundary conditions. We prove the existence of a family of exponential attractors that is robust with respect to the perturbation parameter ε>0, as ε goes to 0. In a similar spirit, we analyze the stability of the global attractor. If n=1, 2, then we also construct a family of inertial manifolds that is continuous with respect to ε. These results improve and generalize the ones contained in some previous papers. Finally, we establish the convergence of any trajectory to a single equilibrium via a suitable version of the ?ojasiewicz–Simon inequality, provided that the potential is real analytic.

Dynamics of a conserved phase-field system

Recently, in Bonfoh [Ann. Mat. Pura Appl. 2011;190:105–144], we investigated the dynamics of a nonconserved phase-field system whose singular limit is the viscous Cahn–Hilliard equation. More precisely, we proved the existence of the global attractor, exponential attractors, and inertial manifolds and we showed their continuity with respect to a singular perturbation parameter. In the present paper, we extend most of these results to a conserved phase-field system whose singular limit is the nonviscous Cahn–Hilliard equation. These equations describe phase transition processes. Here, we give a direct proof of the existence of inertial manifolds that differs from our previous method that was based on introducing a change of variables and an auxiliary problem.     

Global Attractors: Topology and Finite-Dimensional Dynamics

Many dissipative evolution equations possess a global attractor with finite Hausdorff dimension d. In this paper it is shown that there is an embedding X of into , with N=[2d+2], such that X is the global attractor of some finite-dimensional system on with trivial dynamics on X. This allows the construction of a discrete dynamical system on which reproduces the dynamics of the time T map on and has an attractor within an arbitrarily small neighborhood of X. If the Hausdorff dimension is replaced by the fractal dimension, a similar construction can be shown to hold good even if one restricts to orthogonal projections rather than arbitrary embeddings.     

Some closure results for inertial manifolds

Suppose that the family of evolution equationsdu/dt+Au+f _N (u)=0 possesses inertial manifolds of the same dimension for a sequence of nonlinear termsf _N withf _N f in the C⁰ norm. Conditions are found to ensure that the limiting equationdu/dt+Au+f(u)=0 also possesses an inertial manifold. There are two cases. The first, where the manifolds for the family have a bounded Lipschitz constant, is straightforward and leads to an interesting result on inertial manifolds for Bubnov-Galerkin approximations. When the Lipschitz constant is unbounded, it is still possible to prove the existence of an exponential attractor of finite Hausdorff dimension for the limiting equation. This more general result is applied to a problem in approximate inertial manifold theory discussed by Sell (1993).For Paul Glendinning, with thanks.

Stability of global and exponential attractors for a three‐dimensional conserved phase‐field system with memory

We consider a conserved phase‐field system on a tri‐dimensional bounded domain. The heat conduction is characterized by memory effects depending on the past history of the (relative) temperature ?, which is represented through a convolution integral whose relaxation kernel k is a summable and decreasing function. Therefore, the system consists of a linear integrodifferential equation for ?, which is coupled with a viscous Cahn–Hilliard type equation governing the order parameter χ. The latter equation contains a nonmonotone nonlinearity ? and the viscosity effects are taken into account by a term ?αΔ?_tχ, for some α?0. Rescaling the kernel k with a relaxation time ε>0, we formulate a Cauchy–Neumann problem depending on ε and α. Assuming a suitable decay of k, we prove the existence of a family of exponential attractors {?_α,ε} for our problem, whose basin of attraction can be extended to the whole phase–space in the viscous case (i.e. when α>0). Moreover, we prove that the symmetric Hausdorff distance of ?_α,ε from a proper lifting of ?_α,0 tends to 0 in an explicitly controlled way, for any fixed α?0. In addition, the upper semicontinuity of the family of global attractors {??_α,ε} as ε→0 is achieved for any fixed α>0. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Infinite‐dimensional exponential attractors for fourth‐order nonlinear parabolic equations in unbounded domains

We study in this article the long‐time behavior of solutions of fourth‐order parabolic equations in bfR³. In particular, we prove that under appropriate assumptions on the nonlinear interaction function and on the external forces, these equations possess infinite‐dimensional exponential attractors whose Kolmogorov's ε‐entropy satisfies an estimate of the same type as that obtained previously for the ε‐entropy of the global attractor.
