Stability of solutions to evolution problems (Q401767)

Summary: Large time behavior of solutions to abstract differential equations is studied. The results give sufficient condition for the global existence of a solution to an abstract dynamical system: solutions to be bounded, solutions to have a finite limit as \(t\to\infty\), sufficient conditions for this limit to be zero. The evolution problem is \[ \dot u=A(t)u+F(t,u)+b(t),\quad t\geq 0;\quad u(0)=u_0.\eqno{(*)} \] Here \(\dot u:=\frac{du}{dt}\), \(u=u(t)\in H\), \(H\) is a Hilbert space, \(t\in\mathbb R_+:=[0,\infty)\), \(A(t)\) is a linear dissipative operator: \(\mathrm{Re}(A(t)u,u)\leq-\gamma(t)(u,u)\), \(F(t,u)\) is a nonlinear operator, \(||F(t,u)||\leq c_0||u||^p\), \(p>1\), \(c_0\) and \(p\) are~positive~constants, \(||b(t)||\leq\beta(t)\), and \(\beta(t)\geq 0\) is a continuous function. The basic technical tool in this work are nonlinear differential inequalities. The non-classical case \(\gamma(t)\leq 0\) is also treated.
