Attractors for a plate equation with nonlocal nonlinearities

This paper contains results on well‐posedness, stability, and long‐time behavior of solutions to a class of plate models subject to damping and source terms given by the product of two nonlinear components [EQUATION1] where Ω is a bounded open set of R ⁿ with smooth boundary, γ ,ρ ?0 and are nonlocal functions. The main result states that the dynamical system {S (t )}_{t ?0} associated with this problem has a compact global attractor. In addition, in the limit case γ  = 0, it is also shown that {S (t )}_{t ?0} has a finite dimensional global attractor by using an approach on quasi‐stability because of Chueshov–Lasiecka (2010).
