Attractors for nonautonomous multivalued evolution systems generated by time-dependent subdifferentials (Q1847995)

In this paper, the author considers the following nonlinear evolution equations in a real Hilbert space \(H\) \[ f(t) \in u'(t) + \partial\phi^t(u(t)) + g(t,u(t)) \quad t>s \geq 0, \] and its limit problem \[ f^\infty \in u'(t) + \partial\phi^\infty(u(t)) + g^\infty(u(t)) \quad t \geq 0, \] where \(\partial\phi^t\) (resp. \(\partial\phi^\infty\)) is the subdifferential of \(\phi^t\) (resp. \(\phi^\infty\)); \(\phi^t\) is a proper, l.s.c., convex function converging to a convex function \(\phi^\infty\); \(g(t,\cdot)\) is a small perturbation converging to \(g^\infty\); and the forcing term \(f(t)\) converges to \(f^\infty \in H\). A global attractor to the first problem is constructed. The relationship between this attractor and the multivalued semi-flow associated to the limit problem is discussed. Finally, those results are applied to parabolic variational inequalities with time-dependent double obstacles in order to discuss the asymptotic stability.
