Long time behavior of semilinear wave equation with localized interior damping term under acoustic boundary condition (Q6104303)

In this interesting article, the authors consider the semilinear wave equation with localized interior damping in a bounded domain \(\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^3\), for the unknown \(u\), \[ u_{tt} + a(x)u_t - \Delta u + u + f(u) = h(x) \quad\text{in}\ (0,+\infty)\times\Omega, \] equipped with the acoustic boundary conditions, where the boundary's ``displacement'' from equilibrium is denoted by \(\delta\), \begin{align*} & \delta_{tt} + \rho\delta_t + \delta + g(\delta) = -u_t \quad\text{on}\ (0,+\infty)\times\partial\Omega, \\ & \delta_t = \partial_\nu u \quad\text{on}\ (0,+\infty)\times\partial\Omega. \end{align*} Of course, \(\rho>0\) and \(a\in L^\infty(\Omega)\) with \(a(x)\ge0\) a.e. in \(\Omega\). The existence of a global attractor for the associated semigroup is proved when \(f,g\in C^1(\mathbb{R})\) satisfy certain growth assumptions. Under further assumptions, the regularity and finite dimensionality of the attractor are also achieved.
