Existence and finite dimensionality of the global attractor for evolution equations on unbounded domains (Q919185): Difference between revisions

The asymptotic behaviour of solutions of nonlinear parabolic equations on unbounded domains is studied. In order to compensate the lack of compactness in the Sobolev imbedding, a time-dependent weight is introduced, which becomes effective for large times. The existence of a global attractor is then proved for several examples, and the finite fractal dimensionality of this attractor is established.
