On the upper semicontinuity of pullback attractors with applications to plate equations (Q618981)

The author discusses the upper semicontinuity of pullback attractors of dynamical systems on Banach spaces under small nonautonomous perturbations in terms of the coupling of a certain range condition, a relative compactness condition and a limiting condition for vanishing perturbation, observing that this abstract setting is suitable for discussing weakly dissipative dynamical systems. The upper semicontinuity of the pullback attractors associated to a certain plate equation is then obtained as a byproduct.
