Global attractors for a class of degenerate parabolic equations (Q991547): Difference between revisions

The authors investigate the existence of global attractors for the degenerate parabolic equation defined in a domain \(\Omega \subseteq\mathbb R^n\) with \(n \geq 2\): \[ u_t -\text{div} (\sigma(x)\nabla u)+ f(u)+ g(x)=0, \quad x\in \Omega, \;t>0, \] with the boundary condition: \[ u(x,t) =0, \quad x \in \partial \Omega, \;t>0, \] where \(\Omega\) may be bounded or unbounded, \(\sigma\) is a nonnegative function on \(\Omega\), \(f\) is a nonlinearity. Under certain conditions on \(\sigma\) and \(f\), the authors prove the existence of global attractors for the equation in a weighted space as well as in \(L^2(\Omega)\).
