On uniform global attractors for a class of non-autonomous degenerate parabolic equations (Q1758808)

The main object of this paper is the existence of a uniform global attractor for a non-autonomous quasilinear degenerate parabolic problem which may have several weak solutions. Losing of uniqueness one cannot define a family of processes, so the traditional approach to attractors fails. To treat this situation, the authors uses the theory of Multivalued Semiprocesses (MSPs) of \textit{V. S. Melnik} and \textit{J. Valero} [Set-Valued Anal. 8, No.~4, 375--403 (2000; Zbl 1063.35040)]. By MSPs the authors mean a map \(u_\sigma:\mathbb R^d \times L^2(\Omega) \to 2^{L^2(\Omega)}\). Under certain hypotheses it is shown that there is an uniform global compact attractor in \(L^2 (\Omega)\) for the family of MSPs \(\{U_\sigma\}_{\sigma\in\Sigma}\), where \(\Sigma\) is the weak closure of the set \(\{g(\cdot+h) \mid h \in\mathbb R\}\) .
