Squeezing and finite dimensionality of cocycle attractors for 2D stochastic Navier-Stokes equation with non-autonomous forcing (Q1671088)

This work studies the squeezing property and finite dimensionality of cocycle attractors for non-autonomous dynamical systems (NRDS). It is shown that the generalized random cocycle squeezing property (RCSP) is a sufficient condition to prove a determining modes result and the finite dimensionality of invariant non-autonomous random sets. Because of the non-autonomous and stochastic features,the dynamical behaviour of NRDS is relatively more complicated and deserves more efforts to go into than deterministic and autonomous random dynamical systems. The cocycle attractor for 2D Navier-Stokes equation with additive white noise and translation bounded non-autonomous forcing is studied as an application. The paper is organized as follows: In Section 2 one introduces the preliminary definitions of NRDS. In Section 3 one extends the idea of squeezing property to NRDS, and one proves that it is a sufficient condition to prove a determining modes results and finite dimensionality of random non-autonomous random invariant set. Section 4 includes an application to a non-autonomous stochastic 2D Navier-Stokes equation
