Attractors in \(L^2(\mathbb{R}^N)\) for a class of reaction-diffusion equations (Q1030085)

The authors study the class of nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations: \[ \begin{aligned} &\frac{\partial u}{\partial t} = b\Delta u - cu - f(u) - a(x)h(u) + g(x), \quad x \in \mathbb R^N,\\ &u(x,0) = u_0(x). \end{aligned} \] They prove the existence of a global attractor \(A\) in \(L^2(\mathbb R^N)\) for the semigroup associated to this problem; \(A\) is compact, invariant and attracts every bounded subsets of \(L^2(\mathbb R^N)\). The proof relies on results of \textit{Q.-F. Ma, S.-H. Wang} and \textit{C.-K. Zhong} [Indiana Univ.\ Math. J. 51, No.,6, 1542--1558 (2002; Zbl 1028.37047)].
