Global dynamics of solutions for a sixth-order parabolic equation describing continuum evolution of film-free surface

This paper is concerned with a sixth-order diffusion equation, which describes continuum evolution of film-free surface. By using the regularity estimates for the semigroups, iteration technique and the classical existence theorem of global attractors we verified the existence of global attractor for this surface diffusion equation in the spaces H3(Ω) and fractional-order spaces Hk(Ω), where 0 ≤ k < ∞.

Asymptotic analysis and upper semicontinuity with respect to delay term of attractors to binary mixtures of solids

We investigated the asymptotic dynamics of a nonlinear system modeling binary mixture of solids with delay term. Using the recent quasi-stability methods introduced by Chueshov and Lasiecka, we prove the existence, smoothness and finite dimensionality of a global attractor. We also prove the existence of exponential attractors. Moreover, we study the upper semicontinuity of global attractors with respect to small perturbations of the delay terms.

Attractors of Hamiltonian Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations

This monograph is the first to present the theory of global attractors of Hamiltonian partial differential equations. A particular focus is placed on the results obtained in the last three decades, with chapters on the global attraction to stationary states, to solitons, and to stationary orbits. The text includes many physically relevant examples and will be of interest to graduate students and researchers in both mathematics and physics. The proofs involve novel applications of methods of harmonic analysis, including Tauberian theorems, Titchmarsh's convolution theorem, and the theory of quasimeasures. As well as the underlying theory, the authors discuss the results of numerical simulations and formulate open problems to prompt further research.

Attracting sets for one class of asymptotically compact systems with pulsed perturbation

The authors consider the pulsed dynamical systems generated by evolutionary processes. The trajectories of these processes undergo the pulsed perturbation when the energy functional reaches some fixed limit value. The generalization of the classical theory of global attractors of infinite dimensional dynamical systems in case of systems with impulse actions is carried out. It is established that for the dissipative pulsed dynamical system generated by the asymptotically compact semigroup, there exists a uniform attractor, i.e., a compact uniformly attracting set, minimal among all such sets in the phase space of the system. The result is applied to the weakly nonlinear wave equation with dissipation, the trajectories of which are subjected to impulsive perturbations upon attainment of a certain fixed subset in the phase space, so called the impulse set.
