Abstract:
It is shown that a special case of the well-known Lojasiewicz gradient inequality is sufficient to give a unified background for many convergence results in gradient or gradient-like systems appearing previously in the Literature. Besides as an illustration we give a direct proof of convergence in the case of 1D wave equations by a suitable adaptation of Zelenyak’s method.
