Upper semicontinuous dependence of pullback attractors on time scales

Dynamical equations on time scales typically generate a nonautonomous process, even when the vector field function does not depend explicitly on time. Nonautonomous pullback attractors are thus the appropriate generalisation of autonomous attractors to time scale dynamics. The existence of a pullback attractor follows when the process has a pullback absorbing set. Assuming that a dynamical equation over a given time scale which has no rapidly increasing gaps satisfies a certain dissipativity condition, and thus possesses a pullback attractor, and that its solutions depend uniformly on initial data including the time scale, it is shown that the same dynamical equation over nearby time scales also has a pullback attractor, whose component sets converge upper semicontinuously to the corresponding component sets of the pullback attractor of the original system.     

Global dynamics of nonautonomous Hindmarsh–Rose equations

Global dynamics of nonautonomous diffusive Hindmarsh–Rose equations on a three-dimensional bounded domain in neurodynamics is investigated. The existence of a pullback attractor is proved through uniform estimates showing the pullback dissipative property and the pullback asymptotical compactness. Then the existence of pullback exponential attractor is also established by proving the smoothing Lipschitz continuity in a long run of the solution process.     

Pullback exponential attractors for the non-autonomous micropolar fluid flows

This paper investigates the pullback asymptotic behaviors for the non-autonomous micropolar fluid flows in 2D bounded domains. We use the energy method, combining with some important properties of the generated processes, to prove the existence of pullback exponential attractors and global pullback attractors and show that they both with finite fractal dimension. Further, we give the relationship between global pullback attractors and pullback exponential attractors.     

The decision support research of ultra-long distance pullback force computing model through the process of pipeline crossing pullback

The calculation of pullback by the analysis of strain on pipe shows that it involves many disciplines. It is hard to build a mechanical model that is very consistent with the actual working conditions and with the general applicability. After summarizing the calculation method of domestic and foreign authorities or national standards, the paper derives a set of its own formulas. Based on statistical data of actual projects, the paper develops a formula more suitable for ultra-long pullback by comparing the computing result with the actual measured drag force, that is for engineering design and site construction personnel reference. The calculated value of ultra-long pullback coincides well with the engineering value. Three components of pullback resistance, all occupy a high proportion in back-dragging load, and the contribution of the pullback load weights back Trawler changes dynamically. Thus proving that the method is a reasonable, simple, reliable and effective method to predict pipeline status, and makes a useful exploration for the research to improve the existing prediction models in the future.

Remarks on nontrivial pullback attractors of the 2-D Navier-Stokes equations with delays

This paper is concerned with some further research on the pullback dynamics for 2-D Navier-Stokes equations with delays. By some new definition of generalized Grashof numbers, we presented some sufficient conditions when the pullback attractors of the 2-D nonautonomous incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with differential continuous delays become a single trajectory, which is a preparation for the fractal dimension of pullback attractors for our problem with constant or variable delays.     

Pullback attractors for non-autonomous 2D-Navier–Stokes equations in some unbounded domains

In this Note we first introduce the concept of pullback asymptotic compactness. Next, we establish a result ensuring the existence of a pullback attractor for a non-autonomous dynamical system under the general assumptions of pullback asymptotic compactness and the existence of a pullback absorbing family of sets. Finally, we prove the existence of a pullback attractor for a non-autonomous 2D Navier–Stokes model in an unbounded domain, a case in which the theory of uniform attractors does not work since the non-autonomous term is quite general.

Microlocal Analysis of Generalized Pullbacks of?Colombeau Functions

In distribution theory the pullback of a general distribution by a C ^∞-function is well-defined whenever the normal bundle of the C ^∞-function does not intersect the wave front set of the distribution. However, the Colombeau theory of generalized functions allows for a pullback by an arbitrary c-bounded generalized function. It has been shown in previous work that in the case of multiplication of Colombeau functions (which is a special case of a C ^∞ pullback), the generalized wave front set of the product satisfies the same inclusion relation as in the distributional case, if the factors have their wave front sets in favorable position. We prove a microlocal inclusion relation for the generalized pullback (by a c-bounded generalized map) of Colombeau functions. The proof of this result relies on a stationary phase theorem for generalized phase functions, which is given in the Appendix. Furthermore we study an example (due to Hurd and Sattinger), where the pullback function stems from the generalized characteristic flow of a partial differential equation.      

Stable Homotopy Monomorphisms

It is well known that the concept of monomorphism in a category can be defined using an appropriate pullback diagram. In the homotopy category of TOP pullbacks do not generally exist. This motivated Michael Mather to introduce another notion of homotopy pullback which does exist. The aim of this paper is to investigate the modified notion of homotopy monomorphism obtained by applying the pullback characterization using Mather's homotopy pullback. The main result of Section 1 shows that these modified homotopy monomorphisms are exactly those homotopy monomorphisms (in the usual sense) which are homotopy pullback stable, hence the terminology “stable” homotopy monomorphism. We also link these stable homotopy monomorphisms to monomorphisms and products in the track homotopy category over a fixed space. In Section 2 we answer the question: when is a (weak) fibration also a stable homotopy monomorphism? In the final section it is shown that the class of (weak) fibrations with this additional property coincides with the class of “double” (weak) fibrations. The double (weak) covering homotopy property being introduced here is a stronger version of the (W) CHP in which the final maps of the homotopies involved play the same role as the initial maps.     

Pullback attractors for modified swift-hohenberg equation on unbounded domains with non-autonomous deterministic and stochastic forcing terms

In this paper, the existence and uniqueness of pullback attractors for the modified Swift-Hohenberg equation defined on $R^{n}$ driven by both deterministic non-autonomous forcing and additive white noise are established. We first define a continuous cocycle for the equation in $L^{2}(R^{n})$, and we prove the existence of pullback absorbing sets and the pullback asymptotic compactness of solutions when the equation with exponential growth of the external force. The long time behaviors are discussed to explain the corresponding physical phenomenon.     

Pullback attractors for a class of extremal solutions of the 3D Navier-Stokes system

In this paper we construct a dynamical process (in general, multivalued) generated by the set of solutions of an optimal control problem for the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes system. We prove the existence of a pullback attractor for such multivalued process. Also, we establish the existence of a uniform global attractor containing the pullback attractor. Moreover, under the unproved assumption that strong globally defined solutions of the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes system exist, which guaranties the existence of a global attractor for the corresponding multivalued semiflow, we show that the pullback attractor of the process coincides with the global attractor of the semiflow.     

Asymptotic autonomous attractors for a stochastic lattice model with random viscosity

We study forward asymptotic autonomy of a pullback random attractor for a non-autonomous random lattice system and establish the criteria in terms of convergence, recurrence, forward-pullback absorption and asymptotic smallness of the discrete random dynamical system. By applying the abstract result to both non-autonomous and autonomous stochastic lattice equations with random viscosity, we show the existence of both pullback and global random attractors such that the time-component of the pullback attractor semi-converges to the global attractor as the time-parameter tends to infinity.     

Pullback attractors for asymptotically compact non-autonomous dynamical systems

First, we introduce the concept of pullback asymptotically compact non-autonomous dynamical system as an extension of the similar concept in the autonomous framework. Our definition is different from that of asymptotic compactness already used in the theory of random and non-autonomous dynamical systems (as developed by Crauel, Flandoli, Kloeden, Schmalfuss, amongst others) which means the existence of a (random or time-dependent) family of compact attracting sets. Next, we prove a result ensuring the existence of a pullback attractor for a non-autonomous dynamical system under the general assumptions of pullback asymptotic compactness and the existence of a pullback absorbing family of sets. This attractor is minimal and, in most practical applications, it is unique. Finally, we illustrate the theory with a 2D Navier–Stokes model in an unbounded domain.     

Pullback exponential attractors for evolution processes with the difference of 2 solutions lacking smoothing property

In this paper, we construct the pullback exponential attractors for evolution processes in which the difference of 2 solutions lacks the smoothing property. To do this, by the uniform squeezing property of the corresponding discrete process, we add the points to the pullback attractor such that every new set of it has the finite fractal dimension and pullback exponentially attracts every bounded subset of the phase space. As the applications, we establish the existence of pullback exponential attractors for non‐autonomous reaction‐diffusion equation without any restriction on the growing order of nonlinear term and non‐autonomous strongly damped wave equation in with critical nonlinearity.     

Weak pullback attractors of setvalued processes

Weak pullback attractors are defined for nonautonomous setvalued processes and their existence and upper semicontinuous convergence under perturbation is established. Unlike strong pullback attractors, invariance and pullback attraction here are required only for at least one trajectory rather than all trajectories at each starting point. The concept is useful in, for example, continuous time control systems and is related to that of viability.     

Weak Pullback Attractors of Non-autonomous Difference Inclusions

Weak pullback attractors are defined for non-autonomous difference inclusions and their existence and upper semi continuous convergence under perturbation is established. Unlike strong pullback attractors, invariance and pullback attraction here are required only for (at least) a single trajectory rather than all trajectories at each starting point. The concept is thus useful, in particular, for discrete time control systems.     

The Upper Semicontinuity of Random Attractor for Stochastic Suspension Bridge Equation

Based on the existence of pullback attractors for stochastic suspension bridge in \cite{Yao1}, in the paper, we further investigate the upper semicontinuity of pullback attractors for the problem.     

The existence of pullback exponential attractors for nonautonomous dynamical system and applications to nonautonomous reaction diffusion equations

First we establish some sufficient conditions for the existence of pullback exponential attractors by using $\omega-$limit compactness in the framework of process. Then we provide a new method to prove the existence of pullback exponential attractors. As a simple application, we prove the existence of pullback exponential attractors for nonautonomous reaction diffusion equations in $H_0^1$.     

Pullback attractors in nonautonomous difference equations

Nonautonomous difference equations are formulated as cocycles which generalize semigroups corresponding to autonomous difference equations. Pullback attractors are the appropriate generalization of autonomous attractors to cocycles. The existence of a pullback attractor follows when the difference equation cocycle has a pullback absorbing set. Results from the literature are outlined, including the construction of a Lyapunov function characterizing pullback attraction, and illustrated with several examples.
