Pullback attractors for nonclassical diffusion equations in noncylindrical domains (Q456585)

Summary: The existence and uniqueness of a variational solution are proved for the nonautonomous nonclassical diffusion equation \[ u_t - \varepsilon \Delta u_t - \Delta u + f(u) = g(x, t),\quad \varepsilon \in (0, 1], \] in a noncylindrical domain with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions, under the assumption that the spatial domains are bounded and expanding with time. Moreover, the nonautonomous dynamical system generated by this class of solutions is shown to have a pullback attractor \(\widehat{\mathcal A_\varepsilon}\), which is upper-semicontinuous at \(\varepsilon = 0\).
