Pullback Attractors in Dissipative Nonautonomous Differential Equations Under Discretization

The effects of discretization on the nonautonomous pullback attractors of skew-product flows generated by a class of dissipative differential equations, are investigated, It is assumed that the vector, field of the differential equations varies in time due to the input of an autonomous dynamical system acting on a compact metric space. In particular, it is shown that the corresponding discrete time skew-product system generated by a one-step numerical scheme with variable timesteps also has a pullback attractor, the component subsets of which converge upper semicontinuously to their counterparts of the pullback attractor of the original continuous time system.

Random Attractors for Degenerate Stochastic Partial Differential Equations

We prove the existence of random attractors for a large class of degenerate stochastic partial differential equations (SPDE) perturbed by joint additive Wiener noise and real, linear multiplicative Brownian noise, assuming only the standard assumptions of the variational approach to SPDE with compact embeddings in the associated Gelfand triple. This allows spatially much rougher noise than in known results. The approach is based on a construction of strictly stationary solutions to related strongly monotone SPDE. Applications include stochastic generalized porous media equations, stochastic generalized degenerate $p$ -Laplace equations and stochastic reaction diffusion equations. For perturbed, degenerate $p$ -Laplace equations we prove that the deterministic, $\infty $ -dimensional attractor collapses to a single random point if enough noise is added.     

Pullback Attractors for Stochastic Young Differential Delay Equations

We study the asymptotic dynamics of stochastic Young differential delay equations under the regular assumptions on Lipschitz continuity of the coefficient functions. Our main results show that, if there is a linear part in the drift term which has no delay factor and has eigenvalues of negative real parts, then the generated random dynamical system possesses a random pullback attractor provided that the Lipschitz coefficients of the remaining parts are small.

     

Attractors of Parabolic Equations Without Uniqueness

In this paper we study the existence of global compact attractors for nonlinear parabolic equations of the reaction-diffusion type and variational inequalities. The studied equations are generated by a difference of subdifferential maps and are not assumed to have a unique solution for each initial state. Applications are given to inclusions modeling combustion in porous media and processes of transmission of electrical impulses in nerve axons.     

On Dimension and Metric Properties of Trajectory Attractors

We study metric properties of trajectory attractors for infinite-dimensional dissipative systems. Under natural conditions we show that in the appropriate topology the functional dimension of this attractor is not greater than 1 and the metric order is 0. We also prove that every finite (in time) “piece” of the trajectory attractor has finite fractal dimension. As examples we consider a reaction-diffusion system, the 2D Navier-Stokes equation and also 3D Navier-Stokes equation under an additional regularity assumption concerning the corresponding trajectory attractor which is valid in the case of thin domains 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 37C45; 37L30.     

Attractors for Second-Order Evolution Equations with a Nonlinear Damping

We study long-time dynamics of abstract nonlinear second-order evolution equations with a nonlinear damping. Under suitable hypotheses we prove existence of a compact global attractor and finiteness of its fractal dimension. We also show that any solution is stabilized to an equilibrium and estimate the rate of the convergence which, in turn, depends on the behaviour at the origin of the function describing the dissipation. If the damping is bounded below by a linear function, this rate is exponential. Our approach is based on far reaching generalizations of the Ceron–Lopes theorem on asymptotic compactness and Ladyzhenskayas theorem on the dimension of invariant sets. An application of our results to nonlinear damped wave and plate equations allow us to obtain new results pertaining to structure and properties of global attractors for nonlinear waves and plates.     

Global Attractors for 3-Dimensional Stochastic Navier–Stokes Equations

Sell's approach 35 to the construction of attractors for the Navier-Stokes equations in 3-dimensions is extended to the 3D stochastic equations with a general multiplicative noise. The new notion of a process attractor is defined as a set A of processes, living on a single filtered probability space, that is a set of solutions and attracts all solution processes in a given class. This requires the richness of a Loeb probability space. Non-compactness results for A and a characterization in terms of two-sided solutions are given.     

Uniform Exponential Dichotomy and Continuity of Attractors for Singularly Perturbed Damped Wave Equations

For , we consider a family of damped wave equations , where − Λ denotes the Laplacian with zero Dirichlet boundary condition in L ²(Ω). For a dissipative nonlinearity f satisfying a suitable growth restrictions these equations define on the phase space semigroups which have global attractors A _η, . We show that the family , behaves upper and lower semicontinuously as the parameter η tends to 0⁺.     

Relatively Compact Orbits and Compact Attractors for a Class of Nonlinear Evolution Equations

In the present paper we consider the nonlinear evolution equation u+AuG(u), where A:D(A)XX is m-accretive with (I+A)^–1 compact for some >0, and is continuous, and we prove that the orbit is relatively compact if and only if u is uniformly continuous, and both u and G^u are bounded on . In the same spirit, we derive conditions for orbits of bounded sets to have compact attractors. Some consequences and an example from age-structured population dynamics illustrate the effectiveness of the abstract result.     

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.

Spatial Analyticity of the Solutions to the Subcritical Dissipative Quasi-geostrophic Equations

We employ a new bilinear estimate to show that solutions to the subcritical dissipative quasi-geostrophic equations with initial data in the scaling-invariant Lebesgue space are analytic in space variables. Some decay in time estimates for space–time derivatives are also obtained.     

Convergence for Semilinear Degenerate Parabolic Equations in Several Space Dimensions

We show that any global nonnegative and bounded solution to the degenerate parabolic problemu_t-u^m+f(u)=0 qquad {\rm on} quad R^N,u|{}=0converges to a single stationary state as time goes to infinity. Here m>0, f is a restriction of a real analytic function defined on a sector containing the half-line [0, ), and f(u ^1/m ) is a continuously differentiable function of u.     

The Conjugacy of Stochastic and Random Differential Equations and the Existence of Global Attractors

We consider stochastic differential equations in d-dimensional Euclidean space driven by an m-dimensional Wiener process, determined by the drift vector field f₀ and the diffusion vector fields f₁,...,f_m, and investigate the existence of global random attractors for the associated flows . For this purpose is decomposed into a stationary diffeomorphism given by the stochastic differential equation on the space of smooth flows on R^d driven by m independent stationary Ornstein Uhlenbeck processes z¹,...,z^m and the vector fields f₁,...,f_m, and a flow generated by the nonautonomous ordinary differential equation given by the vector field (_t/x)^–1[f₀(_t)+ _i=1 ¹ f_i(_t)z _t ⁱ ]. In this setting, attractors of are canonically related with attractors of . For , the problem of existence of attractors is then considered as a perturbation problem. Conditions on the vector fields are derived under which a Lyapunov function for the deterministic differential equation determined by the vector field f₀ is still a Lyapunov function for , yielding an attractor this way. The criterion is finally tested in various prominent examples.     

Invariant Tori of Full Dimension for Second KdV Equations with the External Parameters

In this paper, we consider the second KdV equation with the external parameters

$$\begin{aligned} u_{t} =\partial _x^5 u +(M_{\sigma }u+u^3)_{x}, \end{aligned}$$

under zero mean-value periodic boundary conditions

$$\begin{aligned} u(t,x+2\pi )=u(t,x),\quad \int _0^{2\pi }u(t,x)dx=0, \end{aligned}$$

where \(M_\sigma \) is a real Fourier multiplier. It is proved that the equations admit a Whitney smooth family of small amplitude, real analytic almost periodic solutions with all frequencies. The proof is based on a conserved quantity \(\int _0^{2\pi } u^2 dx\), Töplitz–Lipschitz property of the perturbation and an abstract infinite dimensional KAM theorem. By taking advantage of the conserved quantity \(\int _0^{2\pi } u^2 dx\) and Töplitz–Lipschitz property of the perturbation, our normal form part is independent of angle variables in spite of the unbounded perturbation. This is the first attempt to prove the almost periodic solutions for the unbounded perturbation case.

On the Ill-Posedness of the Prandtl Equations in Three-Dimensional Space

In this paper, we give an instability criterion for the Prandtl equations in three-dimensional space, which shows that the monotonicity condition on tangential velocity fields is not sufficient for the well-posedness of the three-dimensional Prandtl equations, in contrast to the classical well-posedness theory of the two-dimensional Prandtl equations under the Oleinik monotonicity assumption. Both linear stability and nonlinear stability are considered. This criterion shows that the monotonic shear flow is linearly stable for the three-dimensional Prandtl equations if and only if the tangential velocity field direction is invariant with respect to the normal variable, and this result is an exact complement to our recent work (A well-posedness theory for the Prandtl equations in three space variables. arXiv:1405.5308, 2014) on the well-posedness theory for the three-dimensional Prandtl equations with a special structure.
