Attractors for families of processes in weak topologies of Banach spaces (Q1576787)

A general theory for the study of processes families in the weak topology of some Banach space is suggested. Assuming that the family of processes is uniformly compactifying at infinity, the authors give sufficient conditions for the existence and connectedness of attractors when the phase space is some reflexive Banach space endowed with its weak topology. These results generalize some results of \textit{V. V. Chepyzhov} and \textit{M. I. Vishik} [J. Math. Pures Appl., IX. Sér. 73, No. 3, 279-333 (1994; Zbl 0838.58021)]. They apply to nonlinear nonautonomous evolution partial differential equations for which the behaviour of the corresponding processes is better described when the phase space is endowed with its weak topology.
