Finite dimensionality of the global attractors for von Karman equations with nonlinear interior dissipation (Q860733)

The paper deals with the regularity and finite dimensionality of the global attractor for the dynamic von Kármán system \[ \begin{aligned} &w_{tt}+\triangle^2w+g(w_t)=[\mathcal{F}(w),w],\;\triangle^2\mathcal{F}(w)=-[w,w]\;\text{ in}\;(0,+\infty)\times \Omega,\\ &w=\frac{\partial w}{\partial \nu}=\mathcal{F}=\frac{\partial \mathcal{F}}{\partial \nu}=0\;\text{ on}\;(0,+\infty)\times \;\partial\Omega,\;w(0,.)=w_0,\;w_t(0,.)=w_1\;\text{ in}\;\Omega.\end{aligned} \] The damping function \(g\in C^1(\mathbb R)\) satisfies \(g(0)=0\), \(0<m\leq g'(s),\;g'(s)\leq M(1+sg(s))\) for all \(s\in \mathbb R.\) The boundedness of the global attractor in the space \(\mathcal{H}^1=(H^4\cap H^2_0)\times H^2_0\). Further, the finiteness of the fractal dimension is proved.
