Dynamics of non-autonomous parabolic problems with subcritical and critical nonlinearities (Q2453524)

The authors consider the following non-autonomous parabolic equation: \[ u_t-\Delta u +f(x,u)=g(x,t)\quad \in \Omega \times (\tau,+\infty), \] under the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition and the initial condition \(u(\tau)=u_{\tau}\) with \(\tau \in \mathbb{R}\). \(\Omega\) is a bounded, regular domain in \(\mathbb{R}^N\), \(g\) is a function in \(L^{p}_{\text{loc}}(\mathbb{R};X)\) where \(p>1\) and \(X\) is a Banach space. \(f\) is a continuous real function on \(\mathbb{R}^N \times \mathbb{R}\) which satisfies certain assumptions. The well-posedness of this problem (P) with singular initial data in \(L^r(\Omega)\) and in \(W^{1,r}(\Omega)\) under suitable assumptions on \(f\) and \(g\) is established in the Section 2 of the paper. Three main results obtained for problem (P) are: (i) the existence of uniform attractors in \(W^{1,r}(\Omega)\) with \(1<r<N\) for the processes with subcritical and critical nonlinearities (Section 3); (ii) the existence of pullback attractors for the process with subcritical and critical nonlinearities in \(L^{r}(\Omega)\) and \(W^{1,r}\), respectively (Section 4); (iii) the existence of pullback exponential attractors with subcritical and critical nonlinearities (Section 5).
