Preface

This book is based on the first author’s lecture “Infinite-dimensional autonomous dynamical systems on nonlinear evolutionary equations” given to graduate students in Donghua University since 2004. It aimed at presenting complete and systematic theories of infinite-dimensional dynamical systems and their applications in partial differential equations, especially in the models of fluid mechanics. Driven by the rapid advancement of science and technology, and the improvement of distributed function theory and Sobolev space theory in the first half of the 20th century, the theoretical framework for modern partial differential equations (PDEs) has been established almost completely. PDEs are one of the important branches of mathematics, which are widely used in natural science and engineering. An important purpose of the theory of partial differential equation is to reveal the existence of solutions and their asymptotic behavior in time, which is very significant for the stability of these systems. Based on the development, inspired by the theoretical and applied research into the dynamical system for ordinary differential equations in 1960s and 1970s, mathematicians began to investigate the asymptotic behavior in time of solutions of dissipative evolutionary equations, which led to the emergence of a new branch in evolutionary equations–the infinite-dimensional dynamical system (for short, idds) in theory and application. At the end of the 19th century, Hadamard discovered chaos when he was studying the Hamilton system. The Russian mathematician Lyapunov traced the source of research into dynamical systems and introduced the energy functions and characteristic functions, i.e., the concept of the Lyapunov function and index; this theory is the basis for the investigation into dissipative evolutionary equations, such as the LaSelle invariant principle, Morse structure and fractal dimension of global attractors. French mathematician Poincaré discussed sensitivity with initial data for celestial system using variational equation and integral inequality, proposed the concepts of stability, orbit periodic solutions, etc. Using the geometric method, he described the dynamical systems for ordinary differential equations, and initiated DOI: 10.1051/978-2-7598-2702-2.c901 Ó Science Press, EDP Sciences, 2022

Preface

research into the geometric theory for ordinary differential equations and for research into dynamical systems. Lyapunov and Poincaré were all devoted to study the case that how the solution orbits depend on time, which is the foundation for the dynamical systems. Birkhoff defined the ω-limit point and α-limit point of motion, non-wandering set, central motion, recovery motion, transition, minimal set and Hamilton system in his monograph “Dynamical Systems” and further proved their existence. Moreover, he also initiated the research into ergodic theory. These works are the significant basis for modern dynamical systems. In the meantime, the Ergodic theorem had been given, which built up a bridge between dynamical system and functional analysis. In 1931, Markov proposed an abstract framework and concepts of dynamical systems. Kolmogrov put forward the concepts of Kolmogrov entropy, fractal dimension, Lyapunov index and Kolmogrov entropy are the index system to measure chaos. Smale proved that the orbit for a dynamical system asymptotically approximates to a complex set called strange attractor. Based on the behavior of a dynamical system that depends on a certain parameter and changes essentially with this parameter, Feigenbaum discovered the period doubling bifurcation law. In 1963, Lorentz gave the existence and geometric structure of chaos for the Lorentz system. In 1975, Mandevbrot introduced the concept of fractal dimensions and proved their existence. Rull and Taken pointed out that the turbulence itself is chaos possessing strange attractors and Feigenbaum bifurcation, and pointed out the atmospheric motion itself is a complex chaos. The study of modern theory of finite-dimensional dynamical systems has established a modern framework for ordinary differential equations (such as ε-entropy, ε-capacity, bifurcation theory, differential dynamical system, symbolic dynamical system, etc.); these works are all based on differential equations with finite dimensional phase space, difference equations and integral equations. Later on, physicists, dynamicists and mathematicians found some irregular phenomena in the observation, water wave equations (KdV equations) have solitary, some hyperbolic equations (such as Burger’s equation) generate shock waves under certain conditions, and fluid flow (NS equations) contains turbulence (i.e., chaos phenomenon), etc., which inspired the study of infinite-dimensional dynamical systems (for short, idds). The idds is focused on the asymptotic behavior in time of solutions to nonlinear dissipative evolutionary equations in the science of nature such as physics, mechanics, biology, material science and atmospheric science, which is a widely used subject, very important in the reduction and computation of the asymptotical forms of nonlinear evolution equations, and its theoretical meaning is to provide some proving methods on compactness, and reduce and compute the long-time state of complex system such as Navier–Stokes system, MHD system and all kinds of nonlinear dissipative systems. The existence and properties of geometry and topology of global attractors to nonlinear evolution equation are always the key issue of concern in the infinite-dimensional dynamical system. For dynamical systems, the top concern is existence, geometric and topological properties of attractors; thus the existence problem of attractors is a hot topic in the infinite-dimensional dynamical systems. In the 1980s, the concept of attractors was presented in many papers [75, 146]. Thereafter, many scholars such as Babin, Vishik,

Foias, Hale, Temam, Ladyzhenskaya, Sell, Miranville, Zelik, Grasselli, Boling Guo, Songmu Zheng, Chengkui Zhong and so on, devoted themselves to the study into the infinite-dimensional dynamical systems, and achieved momentous results [4, 5, 7, 18, 23, 24, 103, 133]. The attractor of autonomous systems is called the global attractor, and there has been a rapid development in the corresponding theories on the existence, dimension estimates, exponential attractor and inertial manifold [4, 54, 146]. Many problems in mathematical physics show that the asymptotic behavior in time of solutions could be described by the global attractor, the central issue of idds is to study the existence, geometric topological properties of global attractors to the dissipative evolutionary equations in suitable Banach spaces or complete metric spaces. In general, the global attractor is a nonempty, compact-invariant set, which is also the union of all bounded complete trajectories from its structure. Thus, the global attractor contains all the fixed points of a semigroup, all the equilibrium points of a system, or all the critical points of the Lyapunov function if it has. Meanwhile, it contains the periodic orbit, quasi-periodic orbit, the streamline from one equilibrium point to another equilibrium point, i.e., heteroclinic orbit, and also the homoclinic orbit. Generally, the more the equilibrium points, the worse the local dynamics properties of the equilibrium point. The multiplicity of equilibrium points is closely associated with the topological theory of nonlinear functional analysis and the theory of critical points. As to the autonomous evolution equations, the sufficient conditions to obtain the global attractor are as follows: (1) the solution semigroup of system is continuous for any fixed time in phase space; (2) a bounded global absorbing set of system exists; (3) the semigroup possesses “compactness” in some sense whose verification is relatively more difficult, and the usual methods to verify the compactness contain a uniformly compact semigroup method, weakly compact semigroup method, ω-limit compact method, asymptotically compact method, asymptotically smooth method, norm-to-weak continuous semigroup method and closed operator semigroup method. The uniformly compact method is the most basic and classical method, whose basic idea is to verify that the bounded absorbing set is bounded in a higher regular space, and it can be derived by energy estimate and Sobolev embeddings. The asymptotically compact method is the most widely applied method, and its basic idea is to show that any bounded sequence fSðtn Þxn g is relatively compact. Based on the existence of absorbing sets, asymptotical smoothness is equivalent to asymptotical compactness, and the ω-limit compact method is provided to show the asymptotical compactness (or smoothness) by combining the measure of noncompactness and the contraction of a semigroup. Since the continuity of a semigroup is hard to show under certain conditions, Zhong, Yang and Sun [163] introduced the definition of norm-to-weak continuous semigroup, and used it to prove the existence of global attractors. The closed operator semigroup method is first given by Pata and Zelik [103], who used the properties of closed operator to derive the existence of global attractor. At last, Ghidaglia [51] established the weak compactness induced by the compact embedding to study the global attractor, which is called the weakly compact semigroup method.

Preface

This book aimed to present some recent results on complete, systematical basic existence theories of global attractors and some applications in some autonomous nonlinear evolutionary equations arising from physics, fluid mechanics and material science such as the Navier–Stokes equations, Navier–Stokes–Voight systems, a nonlinear thermoviscoelastic system. This book is essentially divided into two parts. The first part is chapter 1 which includes some useful inequalities and the survey on the basic existence theories of global attractors. The second part includes chapters 2–9 which are some applications of basic existence theories of attractors given in chapter 1. These applications include Navier–Stokes–Voight equations, 1D equations of polytropic viscous ideal gas and heat-conducting real gas, compressible Navier–Stokes equations of heat-conducting fluid in bounded annular domains in Rn , 1D thermoviscoelastic system, reaction–diffusion equations, an incompressible fluid equations and the Navier–Stokes equations. The materials of chapters 2–7 are based on the research carried out by the authors in recent years, while chapters 8 and 9 are chosen from others’ recent results in order to exhibit the applications of the methods of norm-to-weak continuous semigroups and energy equations. We sincerely wish that the reader will learn and understand main ideas and the essence of the basic existence theories and methods of proving global attractors. We also wish that the reader can deeply understand some ideas from this book and further undertake the related research after having learnt references of this book. We also want to take this opportunity to thank all the people who were concerned about us who include our parents, sisters, brothers, wives, sons and our teachers, colleagues and collaborators.

Basic Theory of Infinite-Dimensional Dynamical Systems for Autonomous Nonlinear Evolutionary Equations

It is well-known that the global well-posedness and asymptotic behavior of global solutions are hot topics for nonlinear evolutionary equations, the latter contains two categories: (i) the case of single trajectory, (ii) the case of multiple-trajectories. There is a rich literature related to the infinite-dimensional dynamical systems, we refer the reader to Babin and Vishik [3], Ball [6, 7], Cheban [19], Chepyzhov and Vishik [24], Hale [54], Haraux [56], Ladyzhenskaya [75], Ma, Wang and Zhong [83], Moise, Rosa and Wang [93], Pazy [104], Qin [112], Raugel [124], Robinson [125], Segal [127], Sell and You [129], Simon [134], Temam [146], Zheng [157], Zheng and Qin [159], Zhong, Yang and Sun [163], etc. The asymptotic behavior in time for global solutions of dynamical systems contains steady solutions, periodic solutions, quasi-periodic solutions, homoclinic orbit, heteroclinic orbit etc.; these solutions and orbits determine the asymptotic behavior in time of the system. From the compactness of semigroups, there are some methods for establishing the existence of global attractors which will be introduced in this section. As we know when proving the existence of a global attractor, the crucial and difficult step is to show the compactness of semigroups in some sense. There are some methods to show compactness in some sense (such as uniform compactness, weak compactness, asymptotic compactness, x-limit compactness, etc.). The first one is to show the uniform compactness of the semigroup which can be found in Temam [146]. The second one, proposed by Hale [54], is to prove asymptotic compactness of the semigroup. The third method, established by Ghidaglia [53], is to show the weak compactness of the semigroup. Ball first used the energy equation method together with asymptotic compactness to prove the existence of global attractors. Later on, Moise, Rosa and Wang [93] also used this approach to show the existence of global attractors. Recently, Ma, Wang and Zhong [83] devised a new method and used the measure of non-compactness to show x-limit compactness of the semigroup.

1.2.1

Uniformly Compact Semigroups

In this subsection, we recall some basic results on the global attractors of uniformly compact semigroups. Definition 1.2.1 (Semigroups). Let E be a Banach space or a closed subset of a Banach space, the parameter family T ðtÞ; 0  t  þ 1 from E to E is called a semigroup if (i) T ð0Þ ¼ Id (Identity operator on E), (ii) T ðt þ sÞ ¼ T ðtÞT ðsÞ; 8 s; t 2 R þ .

Definition 1.2.2 (C0-Semigroups). A semigroup T ðtÞ; 0  t  þ 1 from X to X is called a strong continuous semigroup of bounded linear operators if lim T ðtÞx ¼ x or limþ kT ðtÞx  x k ¼ 0; for all x 2 X;

ð1:2:1Þ

with k  k ¼ k  kX , i.e., TðtÞ is a strongly continuous semigroup, short for C0 -semigroup. Definition 1.2.3 (Contraction Semigroups). The semigroup T ðtÞ is a contraction semigroup if there exists a constant a [ 0 ð0\a\1Þ such that for all t [ 0, kT ðtÞx  T ðtÞy k  akx  y k; for all x; y 2 X:

ð1:2:2Þ

Definition 1.2.4 (Analytic Semigroups). Let D ¼ fzju1 \argz\u2 ; u1 \0\u2 g and for all z 2 D, T ðzÞ be a bounded linear operator. The family T ðzÞ ðz 2 DÞ is an analytic semigroup in D if (i) z 7! T ðzÞ is analytic in D, (ii) T ð0Þ ¼ Id, i.e., limz!0 T ðzÞx ¼ x for every x 2 X, (iii) T ðz1 þ z2 Þ ¼ T ðz1 ÞT ðz2 Þ for all z1 ; z2 2 D. A semigroup T ðtÞ is called analytic if it is analytic in some sector containing the nonnegative real axis. Definition 1.2.5 (E−E Uniform Boundedness). We denote BðEÞ ¼ fall bounded sets in E g in view of the metric of E, the semigroup or semi-flow SðtÞ is called ðE; EÞ bounded if for any set BBðEÞ, we have SðtÞB 2 BðEÞ for any t 0. The semigroup or semi-flow SðtÞ is called ðE; EÞ uniformly bounded if for any BBðEÞ, there exists B1 2 BðEÞ such that SðtÞBB1 for any t 0. Definition 1.2.6 (Absorbing Sets). A bounded set B0 E is called an absorbing set if for any B 2 BðEÞ, there exists a time tB ¼ tðBÞ [ 0, such that SðtÞBB0 for any t tB , where fSðtÞgt 0 is a semigroup in the complete metric space E, BðEÞ is the collection of all bounded sets in E. An equivalent definition of an absorbing set is the point dissipation which was given by Hale [54]. Definition 1.2.7 (Point Dissipation). A semigroup SðtÞ on E is point dissipation semigroup if there is a bounded set B0 in E with property that for every w 2 E, there is a time tw ¼ tðwÞ such that SðtÞw 2 B0 , for all t [ tw . In this case, the set B0 is referred to as an absorbing set for the semigroup SðtÞ. Definition 1.2.8 (Attracting Sets). A set DE is said to be an absorbing set for a semigroup (semi-flow) if and only if for all BBðEÞ, we have distE ðSðtÞB; DÞ ! 0 as t ! þ 1, where distE ðX; Y Þ ¼ supx2X inf y2Y ky  x kE for X; Y E which is a Hausdorff semi-distance in the topology E.

Remark 1.2.1. (i) The absorbing set is not unique. (ii) The existence of an absorbing set stands for the dissipative property of a system. (iii) For the dynamical system, there are three cases: energy conservation system, energy dissipation system, and energy compensated system; however, only and if only the energy dissipation system can generate absorbing set. Definition 1.2.9 (Compact Semigroups). The semigroup SðtÞ on E is said to be a compact semigroup for t [ 0 if for every B 2 BðEÞ and every t [ 0, the set SðtÞB lies in a compact set in E, or equivalently, SðtÞ admits a compact absorbing set. It is said to be an asymptotically compact semigroup if there exists a compact attracting set K ; K ,!,!E: Definition 1.2.10 (Uniformly Compact Semigroups). The semigroup SðtÞ on E is said to be a compact semigroup for all t [ 0 if for all bounded sets BE, there exists some time t0 ðBÞ [ 0, such that [ t t0 ðBÞ SðtÞB is relatively compact in E. Definition 1.2.11 (Omega-Limit Set). Similarly, we can define the x-limit set xðAÞ by xðAÞ ¼ \ [ SðtÞA s 0 t s

ð1:2:3Þ

where A is a set in E and the closure is taken in E. Equivalently, xðAÞ can be also defined as xðAÞ ¼ f/ : 9 tn ! þ 1 and a sequence /n 2 A such that Sðtn Þ/n ! / as n ! þ 1g:

ð1:2:4Þ

Definition 1.2.12 ((E, E) Continuity). The semigroup SðtÞ on E is called ðE; EÞ continuous if and only if SðtÞ is a continuous mapping, where SðtÞ : E ! E for all t 0 and kSðtÞkLðE;EÞ ¼ supkx kE ¼1 kSðtÞx kE . Definition 1.2.13 (Invariant Sets). A set A E is an invariant set for the semigroup SðtÞ if SðtÞA ¼ A for all t 2 R þ . Definition 1.2.14 (Attractors). A set A E is called an attractor if (i) A is an invariant set; (ii) A possesses an open neighborhood U such that for all u0 2 U , SðtÞu0 converges to A as t ! þ 1, i.e., distðSðtÞu0 ; AÞ ! 0 as t ! þ 1, where distðB0 ; B1 Þ ¼ supx2B0 inf y2B1 kx  y kE is the Hausdorff semi-distance. Definition 1.2.15 (Global Attractors). A set A E is called a global attractor if (1) A is an invariant set, i.e., SðtÞA ¼ A; for all t 0:

(2) there exists a bounded absorbing set B0 E; (3) A is compact in E and attracts all the bounded sets in E, i.e., distðSðtÞu0 ; AÞ ¼ inf dðSðtÞu0 ; yÞ ! 0; as t ! þ 1: y2A

Then A ¼ xðB0 Þ is a global attractor and it is connected. However, for some problems of evolutionary differential equations, the above condition (3) is very difficult or impossible to be verified. In this case, condition (3) can be weakened to some extent. More precisely, we have the following result. Moreover, for every fixed orbit uðtÞ ¼ SðtÞu0 and for every e [ 0, T [ 0, there exists a time s ¼ sðe; T Þ [ 0, v0 2 A such that for all 0  t  T , juðs þ tÞ  SðtÞv0 j  e:

ð1:2:6Þ

Definition 1.2.16. If A is a compact attractor and attracts bounded sets of E, then A is called a global attractor or universal attractor. Remark 1.2.2. The existence of global attractor needs three factors: (1) the dissipation of semigroups: the existence of an absorbing set; (2) the continuity of semigroup contains (a) weak continuous semigroup (weak-to-weak), (b) strong-to-strong semigroup, (c) norm-to-weak continuous semigroup, (d) closed operator semigroup, (e) C0 -semigroup, (f) C 0 -semigroup; (3) the compactness of the semigroup which can be obtained by the following methods: (a) uniformly compact method, (b) relatively compact method, (c) asymptotically compact method, (d) energy equation method, (e) asymptotically smooth method, (f) condition-(C) method, (g) semigroup decomposition method, (h) x-limit compact method, (i) contractive function method, and (j) j-contractive method. Moreover, the global attractor contains all limit states of solutions for the system: (a) equilibrium u  : SðtÞu  ¼ u  for all t 0; (b) periodic orbit: uðt þ pÞ ¼ uðtÞ, p [ 0, uðtÞ is the solutions for all t 2 R; quasiperiodic orbit: u^ ðtÞ ¼ Uða1 t; a2 t; . . .; an tÞ, Uðx1 ; x2 ; . . .; xn Þ is a 2p periodic coutinuous function with respect to every variable xi ði ¼ 1; 2; . . .; nÞ; (c) unstable orbits coming from equilibrium; (d) complete chaos solution, i.e., for every solution uðtÞ for the equation ut ¼ Au satisfies: (i) uðtÞ is bounded for all t 0, (ii) uðtÞ does not converge to equilibrium when t ! 1. We need the following lemma on the property of the analytic semigroup in chapter 7. ~ be the infinitesimal generator of an analytic semigroup SðtÞ Lemma 1.2.17. Let A ~ (the resolvent set of A), ~ then for every defined on a Banach space E. If 0 2 qðAÞ m ~ t [ 0 the operator A SðtÞ is bounded and

SðtÞ is a semi-flow on E if and only if SðtÞ is a mapping, Rðt; wÞ ¼ SðtÞw, where Rðt; wÞ : ½0; þ 1Þ  E ! E and SðtÞ satisfies (i) Sð0Þw ¼ w; for all w 2 E, (ii) the restricted mapping R : ½0; þ 1Þ  E ! E is continuous, (iii) SðsÞSðtÞw ¼ Sðs þ tÞw holds for every w 2 E; s; t 0.

Definition 1.2.19. We say that a semiflow fSðtÞg on E is compact for t [ 0, provided that for every bounded set B E and every t [ 0, the set SðtÞB lies in a compact set in E. Definition 1.2.20. A semiflow fSðtÞg on E is said to be point dissipative if there is a bounded set U in E with property that for every w 2 E, there is a time tw ¼ tðwÞ such that SðtÞw 2 U , for all t [ tw . In this case, the set U is referred to as an absorbing set for the semiflow fSðtÞg. Definition 1.2.21. We say that a set A in a phase space E is a global attractor of a semiflow fSðtÞg on E, provided the following properties are satisfied: (1) A is non-empty and compact. (2) A is invariant, i.e., SðtÞA ¼ A, for all t 0. (3) there is a bounded neigborhorhood U of A in E with the property that A attracts U , i.e., for every neighborhood V of A, there is a time T 0 such that SðtÞU V , for all t [ T . (4) A attracts every point in E. The basic theory of global attractors we shall use in this book is the following lemma. Lemma 1.2.22. ([128]). Let fSðtÞg be a point dissipative, compact semiflow on a complete metric space E. Then fSðtÞg has a global attractor A in E. Furthermore, the following conclusions hold: (1) A attracts all bounded sets in E; (2) A is maximal in the sense that every compact invariant set in E lies in A; (3) A is minimal in the sense that if B is any closed set in E that attracts each compact set in E, then one has A B; (4) For each bounded set B in E, the omega-limit set xðBÞ satisfies xðBÞA; (5) A is a connected set in E; (6) A is Lyapunov stable, i.e., for every neighborhood V of A ad every s [ 0, there is a neighborhood U of A with the property that SðtÞU V , for all t s. (7) A ¼ xðB0 Þ ¼ \ s 0 [ t s SðtÞB0 is invariant under SðtÞ, i.e., SðtÞA ¼ A; t 0. (8) A is compact. To our knowledge, there are five methods to prove the existence of global attractors in terms of some kind of compactness. Theorem 1.2.23 (Uniformly Compact Semigroup Method – Babin and Vishik [3], Hale [54], Ladyzhenskaya [75], Robinson [125], Sell and You [129], Temam [146]). Assume that E is a metric space and the operator SðtÞ is a semigroup on E. If the following properties hold: (1) SðtÞ is a continuous operator from E to E for all t 0; (2) there exists a bounded absorbing set B0 that attracts all bounded sets B in E; (3) the operator SðtÞ is uniformly compact. Then A ¼ xðB0 Þ is the global attractor for SðtÞ.

Attractors for Nonlinear Autonomous Dynamical Systems

Proof. We complete the proof in three steps. Step 1: Since A is nonempty, the sets [ t s SðtÞA are nonempty for every s 0. Hence, the set [ t s SðtÞA are nonempty compact sets which decrease as s increases, their intersection which is equal to xðAÞ is then a nonempty compact set. By the definition of the x-limit set, we know if w 2 SðtÞxðAÞ, then w ¼ SðtÞu; u 2 xðAÞ. Since the semigroup is continuous, we know there exist un 2 A; tn ! þ 1 such that Sðtn Þun ! u as n ! þ 1. So, we can get SðtÞSðtn Þun ¼ Sðt þ tn Þun ! SðtÞu ¼ w 2 xðAÞ; which shows that w 2 xðAÞ, and SðtÞxðAÞ xðAÞ. If u 2 xðAÞ, then there exist un 2 A; tn ! þ 1 such that Sðtn Þun ! u as n ! þ 1, and we observe that for tn t, the sequence Sðtn  tÞun is relatively compact in H . Thus, there exist tnk ! 1 and w 2 H such that Sðtnk Þunk ! u as t ! þ 1. From the definition of the x-limit set, we get w 2 xðAÞ. Since the semigroup is continuous, the following holds Sðtnk Þunk ¼ SðtÞSðtnk  tÞunk ! SðtÞu ¼ w; nk ! 1: So, u 2 SðtÞxðAÞ i.e., xðAÞ SðtÞxðAÞ. It follows that A is a nonempty, compact and invariant set. Since the set [ t t0 B SðtÞB is relatively compact, we show that xðBÞ is a nonempty compact invariant set. Step 2: We shall show that A ¼ xðBÞ is an attractor and that it attracts the bounded sets. We assume that for some bounded set B1 satisfying distðSðtÞB1 ; AÞ90 as t ! 1, thus, there exist d [ 0; tn ! 1 such that distðSðtÞB1 ; AÞ d [ 0; 8n: For each n, there exists bn 2 B1 satisfying distðSðtÞbn ; AÞ d=2 [ 0. Since B is absorbing, and hence Sðtn Þbn 2 B for n large enough (such that tn t1 ðB1 Þ). The sequence Sðtn Þbn is relatively compact and possesses at least one cluster point b, where b ¼ lim Sðtni Þbni ¼ lim Sðtni  t1 ÞSðt1 Þbni : ni !1

ni !1

Since Sðt1 Þbn 2 B, b 2 A ¼ xðBÞ, and this contradicts. Step 3: The attractor A is maximal. If A0 A is a large bounded attractor, then A0 B. Since SðtÞA0 ¼ A0 is □ included in B for t sufficiently large, xðA0 Þ ¼ A0 xðBÞ ¼ A.

Weakly Compact Semigroups

In this subsection, we introduce an abstract framework due to Ghidaglia [53], which is related to the existence of global attractors of weakly compact semigroups. This framework is very useful for some non-compact semigroups generated by some evolutionary equations such as the compressible Navier–Stokes equations.

The next abstract framework is due to Ghidaglia [53], which is summarized as the present form in Qin [112]. Theorem 1.2.24 (Weakly Compact Semigroup Method). Let E1 ; E2 ; E3 be three Banach spaces, satisfying the following conditions: (1) the embeddings E3 ,!E2 ,!E1 are compact; (2) there exists a C0 -semigroup SðtÞ on E2 and E3 , which map E2 ; E3 into E2 ; E3 respectively, for any t [ 0, SðtÞ are continuous and nonlinear operators on E2 ; E3 respectively, (this means SðtÞ : Ei ! Ei ; i ¼ 2; 3; t 0; are nonlinear operators); (3) the semigroup SðtÞ on E3 possesses a bounded absorbing set B3 in E3 . Then there is a weak universal attractor A3 in E3 . Furthermore, if the semigroup SðtÞ : E2 ! E2 satisfies the following conditions: (4) the semigroup SðtÞ on E2 possesses a bounded absorbing set B2 in E2 ; (5) for all t 0, SðtÞ is continuous on bounded sets of E2 for the topology of the norm of E1 ; then there is a weak attractor A2 ¼ xðB2 Þ in E2 and A3 A2 . One of the advantages of the above abstract framework is that we can obtain two universal attractors simultaneously. The other one is that we can use it to deal with a lot of problems that cannot generate compact semigroups. These models include the compressible Navier–Stokes equations and thermoviscoelastic equations, we refer to Qin [110–112], Qin, Liu and Song [119], Zheng and Qin [158, 159].

1.2.3

X-Limit Compact Semigroups

In this subsection, we mainly review some results on the existence of global attractors of x-limit compact semigroups for autonomous systems. Now, we introduce a compactness called x-limit compact, for more detail, we can refer to Hale [54], Qin [112], Robinson [125], Sell and You [129], Ma, Wang and Zhong [83]. The following is the Kuratowski measure of non-compactness. Definition 1.2.25 (The Kuratowski Non-Compactness Measure). K ðAÞ is called a non-compactness measure if cðAÞ ¼ inf fd [ 0jA has a finite open cover of sets of diameter\dg. If A is unbounded, then K ðAÞ ¼ þ 1. Lemma 1.2.26. cðAÞ is a non-compact measure, X is a complete metric space, then we have cðAÞ ¼ 0 if and only if A; the closure of A is compact in X. The next lemma concerns the properties of the non-compact measure. Lemma 1.2.27. Assume that X is a complete metric space, c is a non-compact measure, then for any B; B1 ; B2 2 BðEÞ, the non-compact measure c satisfies (1) If X is a Banach space, then cðB1 þ B2 Þ  cðB1 Þ þ cðB2 Þ for all B1 ; B2 2 X. (2) If B1 B2 , then cðB1 Þ  cðB2 Þ. (3) cðB1 \ B2 Þ  maxfcðB1 Þ; cðB2 Þg.

If fBt gt2R is a family of nonempty closed sets such that such that Bt2 Bt1 for t1 \t2 and limt! þ 1 cðBt Þ ¼ 0, then B ¼ \ t2R Bt is nonempty and compact. (9) If fBt gt2R and B are as above, given any tn ! þ 1 and any xn 2 Btn , there exists x 2 B and a subsequence xnk ! x as k ! þ 1. (10) Let X be an infinite-dimensional Banach space with the following decomposition X ¼ X1  X2 with dimX1 \ þ 1. Let P : X ! X1 , Q : X ! X2 be the canonical projectors, and A be a bounded subset of X. If the diameter of QA is less than e, then cðAÞ\e. (4) (5) (6) (7) (8)

Definition 1.2.28 (Ω-Limit Compactness). Assume X is a complete metric space, SðtÞ is a C0 -semigroup, if SðtÞ is said to be x-limit compact if and only if for any bounded set BM and for any e [ 0, there exists a time t0 ¼ t0 ðB; eÞ [ 0, such that cð [ t t0 SðtÞBÞ  e. Theorem 1.2.29 (X-Limit Compact Semigroup Method). We assume that X is a complete metric space, let SðtÞ be a C0 -semigroup on X. If (1) B0 X is a bounded absorbing set; (2) SðtÞ is x-limit compact, then the x-limit set of B0 , A ¼ xðB0 Þ is a compact attractor which attracts all bounded subset of X. Remark 1.2.3. A x-limit set xðBÞ is positively invariant set, i.e., SðtÞxðBÞxðBÞ for all t [ 0. Theorem 1.2.30. There is a global attractor for a C0 -semigroup if and only if (i) there exists an absorbing set, (ii) the semigroup is x-limit compact. In order to establish the x-limit compactness, we may prove that the semigroup SðtÞ possesses the property of set-contraction. Definition 1.2.31 (Set-Contraction). Assume X is a complete metric space, SðtÞ is a C0 -semigroup, we say SðtÞ to be set-contractive if and only if there exists a constant a 2 ½0; 1 and a time t0 [ 0, such that for any bounded BX, as t t0 , cðSðtÞBÞ  acðBÞ. Theorem 1.2.32 (Set-Contractive Semigroup Method). Assume that (1) SðtÞ is a C0 -semigroup on a complete metric space X; (2) B0 X is a bounded absorbing set; (3) SðtÞ is a set-contractive semigroup () x-limit compact), then SðtÞ possesses a global attractor A ¼ xðB0 Þ.

Remark 1.2.4. (1) The definition of x-limit set indicates that asymptotic compactness is a natural assumption. (2) In fact, asymptotic compactness implies that the x-limit set of any non-empty, bounded set is non-empty, compact, invariant, and attracts corresponding bounded set, but it is not a necessary maximal. (3) The existence of an absorbing set implies that the x-limit set of the absorbing set attracts any bounded set in the phase space X. (4) The method of proving asymptotic compactness strongly depends on the equation model. Definition 1.2.33 (C0-Semigroups – Ma, Wang and Zhong [83]). Let E be a complete metric space. A one parameter family fSðtÞgt 0 of maps SðtÞ : E ! E, t 0 is called a C 0 -semigroup if (1) Sð0Þ ¼ Id; (2) Sðt þ sÞ ¼ SðtÞSðsÞ for all t; s 0; (3) the function SðtÞx : ½0; þ 1Þ  E ! E is continuous at each point ðt; xÞ 2 ½0; þ 1Þ  E. Remark 1.2.5. The definitions of absorbing sets, global attractors, x-limit sets, x-limit compactness and set-contraction of the C 0 semigroups are similar to the definitions of general semigroups as before in subsections 1.2.1 and 1.2.3; here we omit the details. Clearly, a C 0 -semigroup must be a C0 -semigroup. Definition 1.2.34 (Uniformly Convex Space). A topology space X is called uniformly convex, if for all 0\e  2, there exists a constant dðeÞ [ 0, such  that for x 2 X and y 2 X satisfying kx k ¼ ky k ¼ 1, kx  y kX e, we have x þ2 yX  1  d. Definition 1.2.35 (Condition-(C) – Ma, Wang and Zhong [83]). For any bounded set B of X and for any e [ 0, there exists a time tðBÞ [ 0 and a finite dimensional subspace X1 of X such that fkPSðtÞB kg is bounded and kðI  PÞSðtÞx k  e for t tðBÞ; x 2 B; where P : X ! X1 is a bounded projector. Theorem 1.2.36. For the C 0 -semigroup SðtÞ, (1) SðtÞ satisfies condition-(C) implies that SðtÞ is x-limit compact; (2) in a uniformly convex space, condition-(C) is equivalent to the x-limit compactness. Proof. (1) If SðtÞ satisfies the condition-(C), from the properties of non-compact measure, we obtain         c [ SðtÞB  c P [ SðtÞB þ c ðI  P Þ [ SðtÞB t tðBÞ

Theorem 1.2.37 (X-Limit Compact Semigroup Method – Ma, Wang and Zhong [83]). We assume that X is a complete metric space, let SðtÞ be a C 0 -semigroup on X. If (1) B0 X is a bounded absorbing set; (2) SðtÞ is x-limit compact, then the x-limit set A ¼ xðB0 Þ is a compact attractor which attracts all bounded subset of X. Proof. We shall prove the theorem by three steps. Step 1: We must find the attractor xðBÞ. To this end, from the assumptions: (1) SðtÞ is x-limit compact, (2) B is bounded. We can get 8e [ 0, 9te [ 0, such that cð [ t te SðtÞBÞ\e. So, we take e ¼ 1=n; n ¼ 1; 2; . . ., we can get a sequence ftn g; t1 \t2 \    \tn \    such that   c [ SðtÞB \1=n: t tn

According to the definition of noncompact measure, we get     c [ SðtÞB ¼ c [ SðtÞB \1=n: t tn

Since we have obtained that \ 1 n¼1 [ t tn SðtÞB is nonempty compact set, and is x-limit set of B, i:e:; 1

A ¼ xðBÞ ¼ \ [ SðtÞB ¼ \ [ SðtÞB: n¼1 t tn

Step 2: We want to prove xðBÞ is invariant. For this purpose, A is invariant, i.e., SðtÞxðBÞ ¼ xðBÞ. On one hand, if w 2 SðtÞxðBÞ, then w ¼ SðtÞu; u 2 xðBÞ, and there exists a sequence un 2 B and tn ! 1 such that Sðtn Þun ! u:

Thus, SðtÞSðtn Þun ¼ Sðt þ tn Þun ! SðtÞu ¼ w; we get w 2 xðBÞ; SðtÞxðBÞ xðBÞ. On the other hand, (1) if u 2 xðBÞ, then there exist un 2 B and tn ! 1 such that Sðtn Þun ! u. We want to get that fSðtn  tÞun g has a subsequence which converges in M , and u ¼ lim Sðtnj Þunj ¼ lim SðtÞSðtnj  tÞunj ¼ SðtÞw: j!1

(2) For any e [ 0, 9te , such that cð [ t 0 te Sðt 0 ÞBÞ\e; i:e:;   0 c 0 [ Sðt  tÞB \e: t te þ t

So we can get: 9N , [ n N Sðtn  tÞun [ t 0 te þ t Sðt 0  tÞB such that cð [ n N Sðtn  tÞun Þ\e. (3) Notice that [ N n¼N0 Sðtn  tÞun contains only a finite number of elements, such that when tn  t 0 as n N0 , we have     c [ Sðtn  tÞun ¼ c [ Sðtn  tÞun \e: n N0

n N

Let e ! 0, we know cð [ n N0 Sðtn  tÞun Þ ¼ 0, then fSðtn  tÞun g is relatively compact, i:e:; there exist tnj ! 1; w 2 M such that Sðtnj  tÞunj ! w as tnj ! 1, it is to say w 2 xðBÞ. Namely, u ¼ lim Sðtnj Þunj ¼ lim SðtÞSðtnj  tÞunj ¼ SðtÞw; j!1

j!1

so u 2 SðtÞxðBÞ and SðtÞxðBÞ ¼ xðBÞ. Step 3: We shall prove A ¼ xðBÞ attracts each bounded set of M . In fact, A ¼ xðBÞ is an attractor in M and attracts all bounded sets of M . Otherwise, there exists bounded set B0 M such that distðSðtÞB0 ; AÞ90 as t ! 1. i:e:; there exist d [ 0; tn ! 1 such that distðSðtn ÞB0 ; AÞ d [ 0; 8n 2 N : For each n, 9bn 2 B0 such that distðSðtn ÞB0 ; AÞ d=2 [ 0. By the assumption (2), B is an absorbing set, we know Sðtn ÞB0 ; Sðtn Þbn B for n large sufficiently. In Step 2, Sðtn Þbn is relatively compact, so there exists at least one cluster point b, where b ¼ lim Sðtnj Þbnj ¼ lim Sðtnj  t1 ÞSðt1 Þbnj ¼ Sðt1 Þw; nj !1

and Sðt1 ÞB0 b. Thus, b 2 A ¼ xðBÞ, it is a contradiction.

1.2.4

Asymptotically Compact Semigroups

In this section, we shall discuss the asymptotically compact semigroup. We shall introduce the energy equation approach to establish the existence of global attractors. In most applications, there are many equations which cannot generate a compact semigroup, so the compactness needed must be achieved in a different but weak sense. Definition 1.2.39 (Asymptotically Compact Semigroups). The semigroup SðtÞ is said to be a asymptotically compact semigroup if and only if there exists a compact attracting set K, K,!,!E, such that for every B 2 BðEÞ, we have distðSðtÞB; K Þ ! 0 as t ! þ 1. The next definition is equivalent to the above one. Definition 1.2.40. Let E be a complete metric Banach space and let SðtÞ be a semigroup of continuous (nonlinear) operator in E. We say that a semigroup SðtÞ is asymptotically compact in E if the following condition holds: If fuj gj2N E is bounded and ftj gj2N R þ ; tj ! þ 1, then fSðtj Þuj gj2N is precompact in E. Remark 1.2.6. In fact, a compact semigroup must be an asymptotically compact semigroup. The next result is stated in terms of asymptotic compactness. Theorem 1.2.41 (Asymptotically Compact Semigroup Method). Assume the semigroup SðtÞ on E satisfies the following properties (1) SðtÞ : E ! E is a continuous (nonlinear) mapping for any fixed t [ 0; (2) there exists a bounded absorbing set B0 E; (3) SðtÞ is asymptotically compact in E. Then SðtÞ possesses a unique global attractor A ¼ xðB0 Þ. In the next theorem, when semigroup SðtÞ possesses a splitting such that SðtÞ is asymptotically compact, the same conclusion also holds. Theorem 1.2.42 (Semigroup Decomposition Method). Assume that E is a metric space, the operator SðtÞ is a continuous semigroup, we also assume that (1) if E is a Banach space, and for every t, SðtÞ ¼ S1 ðtÞ þ S2 ðtÞ, where the operator S1 ðtÞ is uniformly compact for large t and S2 ðtÞ is a continuous mapping from E into itself such that the following holds: for all bounded set C E, rc ðtÞ ¼ sup/2C kS2 ðtÞ/kE ! 0 as t ! þ 1;

(2) there exists an open set U and a bounded set B0 of U such that B0 is absorbing in U, then the x-limit set A ¼ xðB0 Þ is the global attractor in U . In particular, if U ¼ E, then A is called a global attractor. Proof. At first, we show the conclusion: If the semigroup fSðtÞg is continuous, and [ t t0 SðtÞB is relatively compact or the semigroup decomposition is assumed, then for any bounded set B0 H , xðB0 Þ is nonempty, compact and invariant. If the semigroup decomposition is assumed, we make the following remark which will be used repeatedly: if un is bounded and tn ! 1, then S2 ðtn Þun ! 0 and S1 ðtn Þun is convergent if and only if Sðtn Þun converges. The norm of Sðtn Þun is indeed bounded by rc ðtÞ where c is the sequence un ; n 2 N: Thus S2 ðtn Þun ! 0 and Sðtn Þun ¼ S1 ðtn Þun þ S2 ðtn Þun converge if and only if S1 ðtn Þun converges. Step 1: We want to show xðBÞ is compact for SðtÞ. By the definition of an x-limit set, we show that the x-limit set of B0 for SðtÞ, xðB0 Þ is equal to the set \ [ S1 ðtÞB0 :

s 0 t s

So we can get the conclusion: u 2 x1 ðB0 Þ if and only if there exists un 2 B0 ; tn ! 1 such that S1 ðtn Þun ! u as n ! 1. Next, we want to show that xðB0 Þ ¼ x1 ðB0 Þ. Assume that u 2 xðB0 Þ, so it equals to that: 9un 2 B0 ; tn ! 1 such that Sðtn Þun ! u as n ! 1. Since S1 ðtn Þun ! u as n ! 1 and u 2 x1 ðB0 Þ, we know xðB0 Þ x1 ðB0 Þ. Similarly, we can prove that xðB0 Þ x1 ðB0 Þ, and xðB0 Þ ¼ x1 ðB0 Þ holds naturally. Before, we observed that x1 ðB0 Þ is nonempty and compact since the sets [ t s S1 ðtÞB0 are nonempty, closed and decreasing. By assumption, [ t t0 S1 ðtÞB0 is compact. Hence, xðB0 Þ is nonempty and compact, and we can show that xðB0 Þ is invariant of SðtÞ. Step 2: xðB0 Þ is invariant. On the one hand, we want to show SðtÞxðB0 Þ xðB0 Þ; 8t [ 0: Let w 2 SðtÞxðB0 Þ; w ¼ SðtÞu; u 2 xðB0 Þ. By the difinition of x-limit set, there exists un ; tn ! 1 such that Sðtn Þun ! u. Hence, SðtÞSðtn Þun ¼ Sðt þ tn Þun ! SðtÞ u ¼ w, and we get w 2 xðB0 Þ. On the other hand, we want to show SðtÞxðB0 Þ xðB0 Þ; 8t [ 0. Note that u 2 xðB0 Þ if and only if there exists un 2 B0 ; tn ! 1 such that Sðtn Þun ! u as n ! 1. For tn t, the sequence Sðtn  tÞ is of the form Sðtn  tÞun ¼ S1 ðtn  tÞun þ S2 ðtn  tÞun :

Attractors for Nonlinear Autonomous Dynamical Systems

The sequence S1 ðtn  tÞun is relatively compact in H and contains a converging subsequence S1 ðtni  tÞuni ! w as ni ! 1. Also, we know S1 ðtni  tÞuni ! 0, it follows that Sðtni  tÞuni ! w as ni ! 1, which implies that w 2 xðB0 Þ and SðtÞw ¼ u, u 2 SðtÞxðB0 Þ, and xðB0 Þ is invariant. In the following, we shall show the theorem. We have shown that the A ¼ xðBÞ is nonempty, compact and invariant. Because the convergence of SðtÞ is equivalent to S1 ðtÞ, use the forward technique to show that A attracts the bounded sets. Also, we can get the attractor is global. □ Definition 1.2.43 (γ-Contraction). c is a non-compact measure on the complete metric space E, fSðtÞgt 0 is a continuous semigroup, if there exists a continuous function j : R þ ! R þ with jðtÞ ! 0 as t ! þ 1, such that for all t [ 0 and B E is bounded, [ 0  s  t SðsÞB is bounded in E, then cðSðtÞBÞ  jðtÞcðBÞ as t ! þ 1. Remark 1.2.7. If SðtÞ ¼ T ðtÞ þ LðtÞ, T ðtÞ is compact for t [ 0 (but not necessarily uniformly compact), LðtÞ is linear with kLðtÞk continuous in t and vanishes for t ! þ 1, i.e., limt! þ 1 kLðtÞk ¼ 0, we say SðtÞ to be c-contractive with jðtÞ ¼ kLðtÞk. If the semigroup satisfies the c-contractive property, then SðtÞ has a unique global attractor. In order to establish the asymptotic compactness, we may prove that the semigroup SðtÞ is c-contractive. Theorem 1.2.44 (The c-Contraction Semigroup Method). If X is a complete metric space, the semigroup fSðtÞgt 0 satisfies (1) SðtÞ is a continuous mapping on X; (2) there exists a bounded absorbing set B0 X; (3) SðtÞ is c-contractive, then SðtÞ has a global attractor A ¼ xðB0 Þ in X. In the sequel, we shall introduce the energy equation method which results in the asymptotic compactness of the semigroup. We need the following assumptions: Assume that (1) SðtÞ is a continuous and nonlinear operator semigroup in E; (2) E is the phase space which is a reflexive Banach space (so that any bounded sequence is weakly precompact); (3) SðtÞ is weakly continuous in E for any t 0, the trajectories of SðtÞ are continuous in E, i.e., for all u0 2 E; SðtÞu0 ! u0 as t ! 0 þ ði:e:; limt!0 þ kSðtÞu0  u0 k ¼ 0Þ; (4) for the energy equation, we assume that for all u0 2 E, the following formula

Let E be a reflexive Banach space or a closed, convex subset of such a space. Let SðtÞ be a semigroup of continuous (nonlinear) operators in E which are also weakly continuous in E. Assume that SðtÞ possesses a bounded absorbing set and that its trajectories are continuous. Assume also that the energy equation (1.2.7) holds where c is a positive constant and U; J ; K ; L are functions satisfying the above assumptions ðA1Þ  ðA4Þ, respectively. Then SðtÞ possesses a global attractor which is connected if E is connected. Proof. Step 1: Since fun gn E, ftn gn 2 R þ ; tn ! þ 1, we need toverify that fSðtn Þun gn is pre-compact in E. Let CoB ¼ fa1 b1 þ a2 b2 þ  þ an bn jbi 2 B; ai 2 ½0; 1; Rni¼1 ai ¼ 1g is closed convex hull of B. Obviously, BCoB. By the existence of bounded absorbing sets B, we get fSðtn Þun gn is bounded.

Similarly, fSðtn0  T Þ un0 g has a weakly convergent subsequence for all T [ 0, if we restrict T to the countable set N, by a diagonalization process, we can obtain further subsequence (we also denote as fn 0 g) for which Sðtn0  T Þun0 *wT weakly in E; for all T 2 N; with wT 2 CoB.

Asymptotically Smooth Semigroups

In this subsection, we shall introduce asymptotically smooth semigroups and the related method to establish the global attractors. Definition 1.2.46 (Asymptotic Smoothness Semigroups). Assume E is a metric space, the semigroup SðtÞ : E ! E is said to be asymptotically smooth if for all BE, B is an arbitrary closed, bounded, positively invariant set (i.e., SðtÞBB), then for all t 0, there exists a compact set K ¼ K ðBÞE that can attract the set B, i.e., dist ðSðtÞB; K ðBÞÞ ! 0 as t ! þ 1. Concerning the asymptotically smooth semigroup, we have the following theorem for the existence of global attractors. Theorem 1.2.47 (Asymptotically Smooth Semigroup Method). If the semigroup SðtÞ satisfies the following conditions: (1) SðtÞ is a (nonlinear) continuous mapping from E to E for any t [ 0; (2) there exists a bounded absorbing set B0 E; (3) SðtÞ is asymptotically smooth, then SðtÞ possesses a unique global attractor ~ ¼ [ t t SðtÞB. B 0

~ A ¼ xðBÞð¼ xðB0 ÞÞ, where

Remark 1.2.8. (1) Actually, asymptotic compactness and asymptotic smoothness are quite related. (2) That SðtÞ is asymptotically compact implies it is asymptotically smooth with K ðBÞ ¼ xðBÞ, but the converse is not true. (3) In particular, if SðtÞ is asymptotically smooth, then in general, a non-empty bounded set B which is further closed and positively invariant is such that its x-limit set is non-empty, compact, invariant and attracts B. (4) The asymptotically compact property is equivalent to the property that for every non-empty bounded set B (not necessary or positively invariant), there exists a compact set K ðBÞ ¼ K which attracts B. There are two methods to prove the existence of global attractors in terms of continuity of semigroups.

Norm-to-Weak Continuous Semigroups

In this subsection, we shall introduce norm-to-weak continuous semigroups and related methods to establish global attractors. Definition 1.2.48 (Norm-to-Weak Continuous Semigroups – Zhong, Yang, Sun [163]). Let X be a Banach space and fSðtÞgt 0 be a family of operators on X. We say that fSðtÞgt 0 is a norm-to-weak continuous semigroup on X if fSðtÞgt 0 satisfies (1) Sð0Þ ¼ Id (the identity); (2) SðtÞSðsÞ ¼ Sðt þ sÞ for all t; s 0; (3) Sðtn Þxn *SðtÞx if tn ! t and xn ! x in X. Remark 1.2.9. The norm-to-weak continuous semigroup only satisfies weaker stability of solutions. In general, it is neither continuous (i.e., norm-to-norm) nor weak continuous (i.e., weak-to-weak), but continuous semigroups and weak continuous semigroups are both norm-to-weak continuous semigroups. Theorem 1.2.49 (Zhong, Yang and Sun [163]). Let X and fSðtÞgt 0 be a semigroup on X and Y respectively, and fSðtÞgt 0 is continuous or weak continuous on Y . norm-to-weak continuous semigroup on X if and only if subsets of X  R þ into bounded sets of X.

Y be two Banach spaces, assume furthermore that Then fSðtÞgt 0 is a fSðtÞgt 0 maps compact

Definition 1.2.50 (Zhong, Yang and Sun [163]). Semigroup SðtÞ is called to be x-limit compact if for every bounded subset B of X and for any e [ 0, there exists a time t0 [ 0 depending on B and e, such that cð [ t t0 SðtÞBÞ\e. Theorem 1.2.51 (Norm-to-Weak Continuous Semigroup Method – Zhong, Yang and Sun [163]). Assume X is a Banach space, SðtÞ is a norm to weak continuous semigroup. Then SðtÞ possesses a global attractor in the sense of the strong topology of X if (1) there exists a bounded absorbing set B0 in the strong topology of X; (2) SðtÞ is x-limit compact. In addition, if X is a uniform convex space, uniform condition-(C) is equivalent to ω-limit compactness. Proof. Step 1: We shall show the existence of attractors. ws Let A ¼ \ s 0 [ t s SðtÞB0 . On the one hand, if there exist tn ! 1; fxn g 2 B0 such that Sðtn Þxn *x, then from the definition we know ws ws x 2 SðtÞB0 [ t s SðtÞB0 , and it means that x 2 A.

29 ws

On the other hand, if x 2 A, then x 2 \ s 0 [ t s SðtÞB0 , and ws x 2 [ t s SðtÞB0 . From the definition, we deduce that there exists tnk n; fxnk g 2 B0 such that Sðtnk Þxnk *x as k ! 1. Let K ¼ fSðtnk Þxnk jk; n ¼ 1; 2; . . .g. From that fSðtÞg is x-limit compact ws (jð [ t t0 SðtÞB0 Þ  e), we can get that the closure of weak sequence K is weakly ws ws compact. So K is metrizable, the metric is the weak topology of K , it is to say d is the metric, i:e:; ws

Then dðSðtnkn Þxnkn ; xÞ ! 0; tnkn ! 1 as n ! 1; Sðtnkn Þxnkn ! x and tnkn ! 1 as n ! 1: Step 2: We shall show that A is invariant set. Firstly, A is nonempty compact subset of X, from the assumption (2), we get ws

jð [ SðtÞB0 Þ ¼ jð [ SðtÞB0 Þ ! 0 as n ! 1: t s

Since [ t s SðtÞB0 is closed in X, we get the result. Secondly, for any x 2 A, there exists tn ! 1; xn 2 B0 such that Sðtn Þxn *x. From the fact that SðtÞ is x-limit compact, we know fSðtn Þxn g has a convergent subsequence fSðtnk Þxnk g such that Sðtnk Þxnk ! x. Since fSðtÞgt 0 is a norm-to-weak continuous semigroup, we have Sðt þ tnk Þxnk ¼ SðtÞSðtnk Þxnk *SðtÞx; and the result is that SðtÞx 2 A, which means SðtÞA A. At last, for any x 2 A, there exists tn ! 1; xn 2 B0 such that Sðtn Þxn *x. From the fact that SðtÞ is x-limit compact, we know fSðtn  tÞxn g has a convergent subsequence satisfying Sðtnk  tÞxnk ! y; and y 2 A. Because fSðtÞgt 0 is norm to weak continuous, we have Sðtnk Þxnk *x, i.e., Sðtnk Þxnk ¼ SðtÞSðtnk Þxnk *SðtÞy; and SðtÞy ¼ x, which means x 2 SðtÞA, it follows that A SðtÞA to sum up, A ¼ SðtÞA, and A is invariant. Step 3: We shall show that A attracts all bounded sets of X. We first assume that for any bounded subset B0 X, there holds distðSðtÞB0 ; AÞ ! 0 as t ! 1. Otherwise, there exist e0 [ 0; tn ! 1; xn 2 B0 such that distðSðtn Þxn ; AÞ e0 . Since fSðtÞgt 0 is norm to weak continuous, the sequence fSðtn Þxn g has a convergent subsequence

1.2.7

Closed Operator Semigroups

In this subsection, we shall introduce the closed operator semigroups and related methods to establish the global attractors. Definition 1.2.52 (Closed Operator Semigroup – Pata and Zelik [103] ). Let K denote either R þ or N, X be a Banach space or a complete metric space. A semigroup SðtÞ ðt 2 K Þ on X is called a closed operator semigroup, if SðtÞ is a closed operator, i.e., for any fixed t [ 0, xn ! x and SðtÞxn ! y implies that y ¼ SðtÞx. When K ¼ N, SðtÞ is called a discrete semigroup. Theorem 1.2.53 (Closed Operator Semigroup Method – Pata and Zelik [103]). Let SðtÞ be a closed operator semigroup, and satisfy the following conditions: (1) there exists a bounded absorbing set B0 X; (2) there exists a sequence tn 2 K , K ¼ R þ , such that limn!1 cðSðtn ÞBÞ ¼ 0, c is a non-compactness measure, then A ¼ xðB0 Þ is the global attractor of SðtÞ. Proof. Step 1: We shall show that xðB0 Þ is compact and attracting. (I) Owing to that there exists an absorbing set B0 2 X, let t0 2 K such that SðtÞB0 B0 for all t t0 . For t t0 þ tn , we have the conclusion: SðtÞB0 ¼ Sðtn ÞSðt  tn ÞB0 Sðtn ÞB0 : Thus, the condition (2) implies that cðSðtn ÞB0 Þ ! 0 as t ! 1. Besides, if t t0 , Ut ¼ [ s t SðsÞB0 ¼ [ s2K Sðt  t0 ÞSðs þ t0 ÞB0 [ s2K Sðt  t0 ÞB0 ¼ Sðt  t0 ÞB0 . Hence, Ut 2 Sðt  t0 ÞB0 , and limt!1 cðUt Þ ¼ limt!1 cðUt Þ ¼ 0. Since the sets Ut are nested, we conclude that xðBÞ ¼ \ t 0 Ut is nonempty and compact. (II) Assume that xðB0 Þ is not attracting for SðtÞ, then there exist e [ 0 and sequence xn 2 B0 and s ! 1 such that inf jjSðsn Þxn  xjj e:

x2xðB0 Þ

If sn t0 , it follows that Sðsn Þxn 2 [ sn t0 . Appealing to the properties of c, the sequence Sðsn Þxn must have a cluster point in xðB0 Þ, which is a contradiction. Step 2: We shall show that xðB0 Þ is invariant set for SðtÞ. (I) Since xðB0 Þ is compact and attracting, given any sequence xn 2 B and sn ! 1, there exists y 2 xðB0 Þ such that Sðsn Þxn ! y. (II) From the attracting property of xðB0 Þ, we have lim distðSðsn ÞB0 ; xðB0 ÞÞ ¼ 0:

n!1

Preliminary

31

Thus, in particular, limn!1 ½inf x2xðB0 Þ jjSðsÞxn  xjj ¼ 0: (III) Exploiting the compactness of xðB0 Þ, there exists y 2 xðB0 Þ and a sequence nk such that ynk ! y, which implies that Sðsnk Þxnk ! y: (IV) Let x 2 xðB0 Þ, by the definition of x-limit set, we know that there exists sn ! 1 and xn 2 B satisfying Sðsn Þxn ! x. On the other hand, for any t 2 K, there exist y1 ; y2 2 xðB0 Þ such that Sðsn  tÞxn ! y1 and SðtÞSðsn Þxn ¼ Sðsn þ tÞxn ! y2 : Since SðtÞSðsn  tÞxn ¼ Sðsn Þxn , by the definition of closed operator semigroup, we conclude that x ¼ SðtÞy1 and y2 ¼ SðtÞx, which yields the invariant property: SðtÞxðB0 Þ ¼ xðB0 Þ. Thus the proof is complete. h Note that for some cases, we can recover the connectedness of global attractor A without requiring the continuity of semigroup SðtÞ. Lemma 1.2.54. Assume that there exist a sequence tn ! 1 and a connected set C with A C such that Sðtn ÞC is relatively compact for any n 2 N þ. Then A is connected. Based on theorem 1.2.53 and lemma 1.2.54, we have the next corollary. Corollary 1.2.1. Let SðtÞ have a connected compact attracting set K. Assume that SðtÞK K for any t large enough. Then SðtÞ possesses a connected global attractor. Remark 1.2.10. In conclusion, based on compactness and continuity of the semigroup, there are some methods to prove the existence of global attractors for the autonomous systems. In detail, there are five methods to prove it in terms of compactness of the associated semigroup. (1) Uniformly compact semigroup method (see theorem 1.2.23); (2) Asymptotically compact semigroup method (semigroup decomposition method, c-contraction semigroup, energy equation method, (see theorems 1.2.41, 1.2.42, 1.2.44 and 1.2.45)); (3) Asymptotically smooth semigroup method (see theorem 1.2.47); (4) x-limit compact method (set-contraction method, uniform condition-(C), (see theorems 1.2.29, 1.2.30, 1.2.32, 1.2.37, and 1.2.38)); (5) Weakly compact semigroup method (see theorem 1.2.24). There are two methods to prove the existence of global attractors in terms of continuity of the associated semigroup: (1) Norm-to-weak continuous semigroup method (see theorem 1.2.51); (2) Closed operator semigroup method (see theorem 1.2.53).

Basic Theory of Finite-Dimensional Attractors

In section 1.2, we have given the basic existence theories of global attractors for autonomous system, and presented some techniques to derive the existence of global attractors. In this section, we shall show that the fractal dimension of global attractors is finite, even though these attractors are subsets of infinite-dimensional phase spaces. In the sequel, we focus on introducing the definition of fractal dimension and estimating its upper bound, in which the critical step is to find the sufficient conditions in the phase space such that any n-dimensional volumes are contracted, it is natural to expect that the dimension of global attractors is less than or equal to n. We mention here the content of this section is picked from [125]. To generalize the intuitive notion of dimension, we would expect that (1) dðXÞ  dðY Þ for any X Y ; (2) dðXÞ ¼ n for any nonempty open subset X Rn ; (3) dðX [ Y Þ ¼ maxðdðXÞ; dðY ÞÞ.

1.3.1

The Fractal Dimension of Global Attractors

The fractal dimension, written by df ðXÞ, is defined by counting the number of closed balls of a fixed radius e needed to cover the subsets X. By N ðX; eÞ, we denote the minimum number of balls in the cover. We note that one possible approach to obtain a general measure of dimensions would be to extract the exponent from N ðX; eÞ, which thus leads to the following definition. Definition 1.3.1 (Fractal dimension). Let the subset X be compact, then df ðXÞ ¼ lim sup e!0

logN ðX; eÞ ; logð1=eÞ

is called the fractal dimension of X, where the upper limit could been taken the value þ 1. Also, the fractal dimension has some properties as follows. Lemma 1.3.2. (1) df ð [ N n¼1 Xn Þ  maxn df ðXn Þ; (2) if g : H ! H is Hölder continuous with exponent h, that is jgðxÞ  gðyÞj  C jx  yjh ; then df ðgðXÞÞ  df ðXÞ=h; (3) df ðX  Y Þ  df ðXÞ þ df ðY Þ; (4) df ðXÞ ¼ df ðXÞ. Remark 1.3.1 There is another measure method on dimension of subsets, called the Hausdorff dimension and denoted as dH ðXÞ, which has the particular property   þ1 dH [ Xn  max dH ðXn Þ: n¼1

Since the Hausdorff dimension is always less than the fractal dimension, the corresponding definitions and theorems are all omitted here.

1.3.2

The Estimate on Fractal Dimension of Global Attractors

In this subsection, we shall introduce an analytical technique of estimating the fractal dimension of the global attractor. In this regard, we need to study the evolution of infinitesimal n-dimensional volumes as they evolve under the motion of fluid, and to find the smallest dimension n at which all such n-volumes contract asymptotically. We first give the definition of uniform differentiability, which is very important in estimating the fractal dimension of subsets. Definition 1.3.3 (Uniform Differentiability). If for any u0 2 A, there exists linear operator ^ðt; u0 Þ such that for any t 0, jSðtÞu  SðtÞu0  ^ðt; u0 Þðu  u0 Þj ! 0 ðas e ! 0 þ Þ ju  u0 j u;u0 2A;0\juu0 j  e sup

then SðtÞ is said to be uniformly differentiable on A. We consider the following abstract system ( du ¼ FðuðtÞÞ; dt uð0Þ ¼ u0 2 H ;

ð1:3:1Þ

where H is a Hilbert space. Let uðtÞ ¼ SðtÞu0 be the unique solution to the above system which is continuous, and A is the global attractor of system in H . At the initial point u0 2 A, we construct an orthogonal set of n displacements, obtain n vectors fdx ðjÞ g ð1  j  nÞ which form an n-dimensional body, and then we watch how the n-volume evolves. We write dx ð1Þ ^    ^ dx ðnÞ as the n-dimensional body whose volume is denoted by
ð1Þ

dx ^    ^ dx ðnÞ
; where jdx ð1Þ ^    ^ dx ðnÞ j2 ¼ detðdx ð1Þ ; . . .; dx ðnÞ Þ: To study the evolution of n-dimensional volume, we should consider the set of displacements dx ðiÞ about the trajectory and linearise the system under the condition of uniform differentiability. Let ^ðt; u0 Þn be the solution to the linearised system

Chapter 2 Global Attractors for the Navier–Stokes–Voight Equations with Delay In this chapter, we are concerned with the asymptotic behavior in time for the 2D incompressible Navier–Stokes–Voight equations with distributed delay on a non-smooth domain. Under some assumptions on initial data and delay data, we prove the existence of compact global attractors. The content of this chapter is adapted from [142], and the method used here is the asymptotically compact semigroup method (see theorem 1.2.41).

Existence of Global Attractors

In this dissipative system, from the discussion in section 2.1, we know that the solution generates a continuous semiflow SðtÞ : V  L2H ! C ðs; T ; V Þ  CV ; from the fundamental theory of attractors ([75, 125, 146]). However, we also need to establish some dissipation and some compactness for the semiflow SðtÞ to derive the existence of global attractors.

Asymptotical Compactness and Existence of Attractor

To obtain the compactness of SðtÞ in CV , we use the asymptotically compact semigroup method in chapter 1 (see theorem 1.2.36), and SðtÞ of system (2.1.1) can be decomposed in the following form SðtÞfv0 ; gg ¼ S1 ðtÞfv0 ; gg þ S2 ðtÞfv0 ; gg  v1 ðtÞ þ v2 ðtÞ;

Since we have established the existence of continuous semigroup fSðtÞg to system (2.1.1) in CV , the existence of the bounded absorbing set together with the asymptotical compactness of fSðtÞg in CV can lead to the following theorem.

Bibliographic Comments

The delay effect was investigated firstly for ordinary differential equations in physics, non-instant transmission phenomena, memory processes, specially biological model, control theory and engineer, such as the retard differential equations, which can be seen in Caraballo, Langa and Robinson [13], Caraballo, Marín-Rubio and Valero [14], and Caraballo and Kiss [12]. For the research on the Navier–Stokes equations with delays on bounded smooth domain, such as the existence of global solutions, global and pullback attractors, regularity of attractors, we can refer to Barbu and Sritharan [8], Caraballo and Han [11], Caraballo and Real [17], Garrido-Atienza and Marín-Rubio [49], García-Luengo, P. Marín-Rubio and G. Planas [48], and Marín-Rubio and Real [84]. The dynamical systems for nonlinear dissipative systems on the non-smooth domains (such as the Lipschitz domain ½0; 1  ½0; 1) especially the domains containing singularity is a difficult problem. For the 2D incompressible Navier–Stokes equation, Miranville and Wang [92] investigated the attractors for non-autonomous non-homogeneous Navier–Stokes equation, then Brown, Perry and Shen [10] introduced a background function which will be used later in our paper to solve the non-homogeneous boundary value problems and gave the existence, dimension of global attractor. Inspired by above ideas, the long-time behavior of 2D incompressible Navier– Stokes–Voight equation with distributed delay on a non-smooth domain is considered in this chapter, and the main features of this chapter can be summarized as follows. (1) Our problem is not similar to the problem with continuous delay or distributed delay on regular domain in [17], because we should use background function and Hardy inequality to deal with the non-homogeneous boundary and non-regular boundary, respectively, for wellposedness and existence of absorbing sets. Sometimes, the estimates of background function influence some energy estimates such that the regularity of solutions cannot reach to optimization. (2) Comparing with the conclusion in [10], our problem contains distributed delay that has to be estimated and some assumptions are also needed for the uniqueness of solutions.

Chapter 3 Global Attractor and Its Upper Estimate on Fractal Dimension for the 2D Navier–Stokes–Voight Equations In this chapter, we first establish the existence of global attractor for the 2D Navier–Stokes–Voight (NSV) equations with a distributed delay and then further give the upper estimate on its fractal dimension. The latter is a new result for this model. The content of this chapter is chosen from [121], and the asymptotically compact semigroup method is also used (see theorem 1.2.41).

Remark 3.1.1. The assumption (A1) is assumed to show the differentiability of the semigroup SðtÞ, and is first proposed in this chapter. (A2) appears in many references [15–17], which implies for ut 2 L2 ð½
h; 0; H Þ that gðut Þ : t 2 ½0; T  ! ðL2 ðXÞÞ2 is measurable ([9]), and (A3) is proposed to guarantee the global existence of solutions. In the sequel, we shall prove the global existence of solutions to our problem (3.1.4). To do so, we now need to introduce some lemmas given below. Lemma 3.1.1. Let f 2 H , conditions (A1) (A3) hold and fg; v 0 g 2 XV , then there exists a unique global solution vðtÞ to problem (3.1.4) such that vðtÞ 2 L1 ð½0; T ; V Þ \ L2 ð½

Existence of Global Attractors

3.2.1

Existence of Absorbing Sets

In order to obtain global attractors, we need to derive the existence of absorbing sets of SðtÞ in CV and XV , and main results are given as follows. Lemma 3.2.1. Assume f 2 H , fg; v 0 g 2 XV , and the conditions (A1) (A3) hold, then the semigroup SðtÞ to problem (3.1.4) possesses an absorbing set in XV . Proof. Assume fg; v 0 g 2 D which is any bounded set of radius d [ 0 in XV . Multiplying (3.1.4) by v, we obtain 1d ðjvj2 þ a2 kvk2 Þ þ mkvk2 þ bðv; v; vÞ þ ðRv; vÞ ¼ ðPf ; vÞ þ ðgðvt þ wÞ; vÞ; 2 dt and 1d ðjvj2 þ a2 kvk2 Þ þ mkvk2  jðRv; vÞj þ jðPf ; vÞj þ jðgðvt þ wÞ; vÞj 2 dt 2  kf kkvk þ jgjjvj þ C1 k

and hence the existence of an absorbing ball in XV follows.

3.2.2

Some Compactness and the Existence of Global Attractors

To prove our results, we also need some compactness of SðtÞ in XV . Note that v ¼ SðtÞfg; v 0 g is the solution to (3.1.4) with initial data fg; v 0 g 2 XV , and SðtÞ can be decomposed in the following sum SðtÞfg; v 0 g ¼ Y ðtÞfg; v 0 g þ Z ðtÞfg; v 0 g yðtÞ þ zðtÞ

which means the operator Z ðtÞ maps XV into XV4=3 , and from the fact that V ,!,!V4=3 , we derive the operator Z ðtÞ is compact for t [ 0. Using the decomposition method (see [75, 146]), from (3.2.7) and the compactness of Z ðtÞ, we derive that SðtÞ is asymptotically compact in XV . Since we have established the existence of continuous semigroup fSðtÞg to problem (3.1.4) in XV , and the existence of bounded absorbing set BV ð0; qV Þ in XV , the asymptotical compactness of fSðtÞg in XV , from the fundamental theory of global attractors (see theorem 1.2.37), the existence of global attractor A of fSðtÞg in XV follows naturally, that is, the following theorem holds. Theorem 3.2.2. Under assumptions in lemma 3.2.1, the problem (ref. [32]) or semigroup SðtÞ possesses a global attractor A 2 XV .

Upper Estimate on the Fractal Dimension of Global Attractors

In this section, we aim to estimate the upper bound of the fractal dimension of the global attractor obtained in the previous section. To do so, we need first to show the differentiability of SðtÞ with respect to initial data. Consider now the first variation equation of problem (3.1.4) 8 d < dU þ mAU þ a2 AU þ Bðv; U Þ þ RðU ; vÞ þ RðU Þ ¼ gðvt þ wÞUt ; ð3:3:1Þ dt dt : fU0 ; U ð0ÞÞg 2 XV : Using the usual energy estimates, we can prove a unique solution U ðtÞ to problem (3.3.1) exists such that U ðtÞ 2 L1 ð½0; T ; V Þ \ L2 ð½

Let A be the global attractors of SðtÞ to problem (3.1.4) in XV , then SðtÞ is uniformly differentiable on A, that is, if for every fg2 ; v2 g 2 A, there exists a linear operator Kðt; fg2 ; v2 gÞ such that for all t  0, kSðtÞfg1 ; v1 g

Bibliographic Comments

The NSV equations model the dynamics of a Kelvin–Voight viscoelastic incompressible fluid and was introduced by Oskolkov in [100], and its generated semigroup has a finite dimensional global attractor which can be seen in [65]. Under the homogeneous boundary condition, Kalantarov [66] derived the existence of global attractor for the NSV equations, and further showed that the attractor lays in a bounded subset of the Sobolev space H 1 ðXÞ whenever the forcing term f 2 L2 ðXÞ. In 1963, Krasovskii [73] first considered the stability problem for differential equations with time delay. Caraballo and Real obtained some results relating to the existence and asymptotic behavior of solution for the Navier–Stokes equations with variable delay and distributed delay in [17]. Taniguchi established the existence of absorbing sets of the non-autonomous Navier–Stokes equations with a continuous delay

in [143]. Li and Qin gave the existence of pullback attractors of the NSV equations with continuous delay on smooth domain in [77]. We also know that many nonlinear evolution equations for infinite-dimensional dynamical systems have indeed attractors with finite Hausdorff and fractal dimensions. In 2000, Brown, Perry and Shen were concerned with the 2D Navier–Stokes equations on a Lipschitz domain and established the upper bounds of the global attractors in [10]. Also, the upper bounds for the dimension of a global attractor for the 3D Navier–Stokes–Voight equations were derived by Kalantarov and Titi in [67]. However, to our knowledge, there are fewer results involving the dimension estimate on attractors for the NS equations, or NSV equations, with delay. In addition, the aim of this paper was to establish the upper estimates on the Hausdorff and fractal dimensions of global attractor for the 2D NSV equations with a distributed delay. Comparing with Li and Qin’s conclusion, the problem in this chapter has the following different features: (1) The existence of global attractors A of 2D NSV equations with a distributed delay in the product space XV is given; (2) Using the method of extention for genertor appeared in Webb’s paper (JDE, 1976), we establish the differentiability of the semigroup in the product space XV , and first obtain the upper estimates on the Hausdorff and fractal dimensions of A.

Chapter 4 Maximal Attractor for the Equations of One-Dimensional Compressible Polytropic Viscous Ideal Gas In this chapter, we shall prove the existence of maximal (global) attractor for the equations of compressible polytropic viscous ideal gas. One important feature is that our working metric spaces H ð1Þ and H ð2Þ are two incomplete ones, as can be seen from the constraints h [ 0 and u [ 0 with h and u being absolute temperature and specific volume, respectively. For any constants b1 ; b2 ; b3 ; b4 ; b5 with some ðiÞ constraint conditions, we establish two sequences of closed subspaces Hb  ð1Þ

Here, H 1 ; H 2 are the usual Sobolev spaces. Assume that bi ði ¼ 1; :::; 5Þ are any given constants such that b1 2 R; e b1 b2 [ 0; b4  [ b3 [ 0; 0\b5 \b2 are arbitrarily given constants, and let b2  Z 1 Z 1 ðiÞ ðlnðhÞ þ lnðuÞÞdx  b1 ; b5  ðh þ v 2 =2Þdx  b2 ; Hb :¼ ðu; v; hÞ 2 H ðiÞ : Z b3

Indeed, Hb is a sequence of closed subspaces of H ðiÞ ði ¼ 1; 2Þ: Later on, we will show that the first three constraints are invariant, while the last two constraints are not invariant. These two constraints are just introduced to overcome the difficulty that the original spaces are incomplete. As we shall mention in section 4.6, it is very ðiÞ ðiÞ crucial to prove that the orbit starting from any bounded set of Hb will reenter Hb after a finite time. Our main theorem reads as follows. Theorem 4.1.1. The nonlinear semigroup SðtÞ defined by the solution to problem (7.1.1)–(7.1.5) maps H ðiÞ ði ¼ 1; 2Þ into itself. Moreover, for any bi ði ¼ 1; :::; 5Þ e b1 ðiÞ with b1 \0; b2 [ 0; b4  [ b3 [ 0; 0\b5 \b2 , it possesses in Hb a maximal b2 attractor Ai;b ði ¼ 1; 2Þ:

Subscripts t and x denote the (partial) derivatives with respect to t and x, respecðiÞ tively. We use C0 ; i ¼ 1; 2 to denotes the universal constant depending only on the H ðiÞ norm of initial data and minx2½0;1 u0 ðxÞ. Cb denotes the universal constant ðiÞ

depending only on bi ði ¼ 1; :::; 5Þ, but independent of initial data. Cb denotes the universal constant depending on both bj ðj ¼ 1; :::; 5Þ, H ðiÞ norm of initial data and minx2½0;1 u0 ðxÞ.

Existence of an Absorbing Set in Hb

ð1Þ

In this section, we shall prove the existence of an absorbing set in Hb . We always ð1Þ

assume in this section that initial data belong to a bounded set of Hb . As mentioned in ð1Þ

section 4.1, we first need to prove that the orbit starting from any bounded set in Hb ð1Þ

will reenter Hb after a finite time which should be uniform with respect to all orbits starting from that bounded set. The next two lemmas have been proved in [106, 139]. ð1Þ

On the other hand, by (4.2.6) and (4.3.8)–(4.3.11), we have uðx; tÞ  Cb1 eCb t :

ð4:3:18Þ

In the sequel, we will use a contradiction argument to prove that uðx; tÞ  Cb1 ; 8ðx; tÞ 2 ½0; 1  ½0; þ 1Þ:

ð4:3:19Þ

Indeed, if the above assertion does not hold, then there exists a sequence of ð1Þ solutions ðun ; vn ; hn Þ with initial data ðun0 ; vn0 ; hn0 Þ 2 Hb converging weakly in H 1 , ð1Þ

strongly in C ½0; 1 to ðu0 ; v0 ; h0 Þ 2 Hb such that for the corresponding solution ðu; v; hÞ to ðu0 ; v0 ; h0 Þ, inf x2½0;1;t  0 u ¼ 0: Thus there exists ðxn ; tn Þ 2 ½0; 1  ½0; þ 1Þ such that as n ! þ 1; uðxn ; tn Þ ! 0:

ð4:3:20Þ

If the sequence tn has a subsequence, still denoted by tn, converging to infinity, then by the result on the asymptotic behaviour in lemma 4.2.2, as n ! þ 1; Z 1 uðxn ; tn Þ ! u0 ðxÞdx  b3 [ 0 ð4:3:21Þ 0

which contradicts (4.3.20). If the sequence tn is bounded, i.e., there exists a constant M [ 0, independent of n, such that 0\tn  M , then by (4.3.18), uðxn ; tn Þ  Cb1 eCb tn  Cb1 eCb M [ 0 which again contradicts (4.3.20). Thus the proof is complete. The next lemma concerns the boundedness of h from below.

Proof. Let w ¼ 1h : Then equation (4.1.3) can be rewritten as wt ¼ ðqwx Þx  ½2qhwx2 þ qw 2 ðvx  h=2Þ2  þ q=4

ð4:3:24Þ

with q ¼ u1 : Multiplying (4.3.24) by 2rw 2r1 with r being an arbitrary natural number, integrating the result over X ¼ ð0; 1Þ; noting that the expression in the squarebracket is nonnegative and using Hölder inequality, we can obtain Z 1 d kwðtÞk kwðtÞk2r1  1=4 qw 2r1 dx; 2r 2r L L dt 0 ð4:3:25Þ  Cb kwðtÞk2r1  Cb kqk 2r kwðtÞk2r1 2r 2r ; L

which yields, by taking r ! þ 1; that kwðtÞkL1  k1=h0 kL1 þ Cb t  Cb ð1 þ tÞ:

ð4:3:26Þ

Thus, for all x 2 ½0; 1; t  0, hðx; tÞ

ð4:3:27Þ

Noting the asymptotic behaviour of h in lemmas 4.2.1, 4.3.1 and (4.3.27), similarly as in the proof of (4.3.19), we can easily derive (4.3.23). h ð1Þ

Lemma 4.3.5. For initial data belonging to a bounded set of Hb there is t0 [ 0 depending only on boundedness of this bounded set such that for all t  t0 , x 2 ½0; 1, b5  hðx; tÞ  2b2 ; 2

b3  uðx; tÞ  2b4 : 2

ð4:3:28Þ

Proof. We derive from (4.2.4) and (4.3.2) that as t ! þ 1,

Now we use a contradiction argument to prove (4.3.28). Suppose that it is not true. Then there exists a sequence tn ! þ 1 such that for all x 2 ½0; 1, sup hðx; tn Þ [ 2b2 ;

ð4:3:30Þ ð1Þ

where sup is taken for all initial data in a given bounded set of Hb . Then similarly as for the proof of lemma 4.3.3, there is ðu0 ; v0 ; h0 Þ belonging to this bounded set such that for the corresponding solution ðu; v; hÞ, we have hðx; tn Þ  2b2 ; 8x 2 ½0; 1:

ð4:3:31Þ

This contradicts (4.3.29) and (4.3.2). Similarly, we can derive other parts of (4.3.28). Thus the proof is complete. h

77

It follows from lemmas 4.3.1 and 4.3.5 that for initial data belonging to a given ð1Þ ð1Þ bounded set of Hb , the orbit will reenter Hb after a finite time. Next, we shall ð1Þ

prove that there is an absorbing set in Hb . Let Eðu; v; SÞ ¼

We use Cb;B to denote universal positive constants depending on B and bi ; ði ¼ 1; :::; 5Þ. Then we have the next lemma. Lemma 4.3.6.

which, together with (4.3.38), yield Eðu; v; SÞ

On the other hand, we can derive from lemmas 4.3.3 and 4.3.4 that S e  Cb ; e e  Cb : S

Thus, it follows from Young’s inequality that  2  3 3 1 1 u e ðu  uÞðS  SÞ  u e ðu  uÞ2 þ u e ðS  SÞ2 4 3

Theorem 4.4.4. The ball B2 ¼ fðu; v; hÞ 2 Hb ; kðu; v; hÞk2H 2  R22 g is an absorbing ð2Þ

ball in Hb .

4.5

Proof of Theorem 4.2.1 ð2Þ

ð1Þ

Recall that we have shown the existence of absorbing balls in Hb and Hb , then following exactly the abstract framework established in [51], we can conclude the next lemma. Lemma 4.5.1. The set xðB2 Þ ¼

ð4:5:2Þ

ð2Þ

Remark 4.5.1. If B a bounded set in Hb , we can also define xðBÞ by (4.5.1) and when B is nonempty, xðBÞ is also included in B2 ; nonempty and invariant. Since B2 is an absorbing ball, it is obvious that xðBÞ xðB2 Þ, which implies that xðB2 Þ is maximal in the sense of inclusion. Theorem 4.5.2. The set A2;b ¼ xðB2 Þ

Moreover, it is the maximal set in the sense of inclusion that satisfies (4.5.4)– (4.5.6). Proof. For the proofs of lemma 4.5.1 and theorem 4.5.2, we only exactly follow the same arguments as in [51], pp. 387–389, using the facts that SðtÞ is continuous in ð2Þ ð1Þ ð2Þ ð1Þ Hb , Hb , respectively, Hb is compactly embedded in Hb , and B2 , B1 are ð2Þ

ð1Þ

absorbing balls in Hb , Hb , respectively. ð2Þ

Note that A2;b is called the universal attractor of SðtÞ in Hb . In order to discuss ð1Þ

the existence of an universal attractor in Hb , we first need to prove the next lemma. Lemma 4.5.3. For every t  0, the mapping SðtÞ is continuous on bounded sets of ð1Þ Hb for the topology of the norm in L2  L2  L2 . ð1Þ

Proof. Let ðu0i ; v0i ; h0i Þ 2 Hb ; ði ¼ 1; 2Þ, kðu0i ; v0i ; h0i ÞkH 1  R; ði ¼ 1; 2Þ, ðui ; vi ; hi Þ ¼ SðtÞðu0i ; v0i ; h0i Þ, and ðu; v; hÞ ¼ ðu1 ; v1 ; h1 Þ  ðu2 ; v2 ; h2 Þ. Subtracting the corresponding equations (4.1.1)–(4.1.3) satisfied by ðu1 ; v1 ; h1 Þ and ðu2 ; v2 ; h2 Þ, then multiplying the resulting equations by u; v; h, respectively, adding together and integrating the final resulting equations over ½0; 1, we obtain   Z 1

where CR is a positive constant depending also on R. Then the conclusion of this lemma follows from the Gronwall’s inequality. h

On the contrary, if we knew that A1;b is bounded in H ð2Þ , then the opposite inclusion would hold.

Bibliographic Comments

In this section, we shall recall the results on global existence; uniqueness and asymptotic behaviour of solutions to problem (4.1.1)–(4.1.5) have been established in [72, 106]; see also [21, 70] and the references therein. We shall explain some mathematical difficulties in this chapter, which include the following four points: (1) From physical viewpoint, the special volume u and the absolute temperature h must be positive for all times, which will result in some severe mathematical difficulties. For example, we must work on incomplete metric spaces H ð1Þ and H ð2Þ , H ð2Þ  H ð1Þ with these constraints. (2) The nonlinear semigroup SðtÞ maps each H ð1Þ and H ð2Þ into itself. However, it follows from equations (4.1.2) to (4.1.3) that the semigroup SðtÞ cannot be extended to the closure of H ð1Þ and H ð2Þ . On the other hand, there indeed exist great differences between the existence of global solutions and maximal attractors, the requirement on completeness of spaces is needed. To overcome this non-compactness of spaces, we need to restrict ourselves to a sequence of closed subspaces of H ð1Þ and H ð2Þ . Consequently, it is very crucial to prove that the orbit starting from any bounded set of this closed subspace will reenter this subspace and stay there after a finite time which should be uniform with respect to all orbits starting from bounded set; otherwise, there is no ground to talk about the existence of absorbing set and maximal attractor in this subspace. The proof of this point becomes an essential part of this chapter. (3) Two quantities, i.e., the total mass and energy are conserved (see also (4.3.1) and (4.3.2)), that is, we have

Thus, these two conservations indicate obviously that there can be no absorbing set for initial data varying in the whole space. Instead, we should rather consider our problem in a sequence of closed subspaces defined by some parameters. Therefore, one of key issues in this chapter is how to choose these closed subspaces. (4) The system (4.1.1)–(4.1.3) is a hyperbolic–parabolic coupled system. Consequently, in general the orbit is not compact. In order to prove the existence of a maximal (global) attractor, the known classical existence theory of global attractors (see, Temam [144]), will do not work. To this end, we have used an approach motivated by the ideas in [51, 112, 158, 159].

Chapter 5 Universal Attractors for a Nonlinear System of Compressible One-Dimensional Heat-Conducting Viscous Real Gas This chapter is concerned with the existence of universal (global) attractors for a nonlinear system of compressible one-dimensional heat-conducting viscous real gas in bounded domain X ¼ ð0; 1Þ using some new ideas and more delicate estimates. Note that the model in this chapter we shall deal with is a 1D nonlinear system of heat-conducting viscous real gas with more general constitutive relations which is more complicated than that of 1D system of compressible polytropic ideal gas in chapter 4. The content of this chapter is adopted from Qin [120] and the method used here is the weakly compact semigroup method, see theorem 1.2.24.

The notation in this chapter will be as follows: Lp ; 1  p  þ 1; W m;p ; m 2 N; H 1 ¼ W 1;2 ; H01 ¼ W01;2 denote the usual (Sobolev) spaces on ð0; 1Þ: In addition, k  kB denotes the norm in the space B; we also put k  k ¼ k  kL2 : We denote by C k ðI ; BÞ; k 2 N0 ; the space of k-times continuously differentiable functions from I R into a Banach space B, and likewise by Lp ðI ; BÞ; 1  p  þ 1 the corresponding Lebesgue spaces. Subscripts t and x denote ðiÞ the (partial) derivatives with respect to t and x, respectively. We use C0 ; i ¼ 1; 2 to i denote the universal constant depending only on the H norm of initial data, minx2½0;1 u0 ðxÞ and minx2½0;1 h0 ðxÞ. Cd (sometimes Cd0 ) denotes the universal constant ðiÞ

depending only on di ði ¼ 1; 2; . . .; 7Þ, but independent of initial data. Cd denotes the universal constant depending on both dj ðj ¼ 1; 2; . . .; 7Þ, H i norm of initial data, minx2½0;1 h0 ðxÞ and minx2½0;1 u0 ðxÞ. C denotes the generic absolute positive constant independent of d and initial data. Without danger of confusion, we will use the same symbol to denote the state functions as well as their values along a thermodynamic process, e.g., pðu; hÞ, and pðuðx; tÞ; hðx; tÞÞ and pðx; tÞ. Our main theorem reads as follows. Theorem 5.1.1. Assume that ( 5.1.8) and (5.1.12)–(5.1.26) hold, then the solution to problem (5.1.1)–(5.1.3), (5.1.5)–(5.1.6) or (5.1.1)–(5.1.3), (5.1.5), (5.1.7) defines a i i nonlinear C0 -semigroup SðtÞ on H þ ði ¼ 1; 2Þ, which maps H þ ði ¼ 1; 2Þ into itself. Moreover, for any di ði ¼ 1; 2; . . .; 7Þ satisfying (5.1.30)–(5.1.32), it possesses in Hdi a universal (maximal) attractor Ai;d ði ¼ 1; 2Þ: Remark 5.1.1. See section 5.6 of this chapter for the definition of (maximal) universal attractor. S Remark 5.1.2. The set Ai ¼ d1 ;...;d5 or d1 ;...;d7 Ai;d ði ¼ 1; 2Þ is a global noncompact i attractor in the metric space H þ in the following sense that it attracts any bounded i with constraints u  u; h  h with u; h being any given positive sets of H þ constants. Remark 5.1.3. Theorem 5.1.1 also holds for the polytropic viscous ideal gas (5.1.11) with the boundary conditions (5.1.7), while for the polytropic viscous ideal gas (5.1.11) with (5.1.6), the similar results can also be obtained.

i Nonlinear C0 -Semigroup on H þ ði ¼ 1; 2Þ

i As known in section 5.1, for any initial data ðu0 ; v0 ; h0 Þ 2 H þ ði ¼ 1; 2Þ, the results on global existence, uniqueness and asymptotic behaviour of solutions to problem (5.1.1)–(5.1.3), (5.1.5)–(5.1.6) or (5.1.1)–(5.1.3), (5.1.5), (5.1.7) have been established in [105]. It has been proved in [108] that the operator SðtÞ defined by the i ; ði ¼ 1; 2Þ, respectively. More precisely, solution is a nonlinear C0 -semigroup on H þ we have the following lemma.

Existence of an Absorbing Set in Hd1

This section is concerned with the existence of an absorbing ball in Hd1 . We always assume in this chapter that initial data belong to a bounded set of Hd1 . Now, we have to show that the orbit starting from any bounded set in Hd1 will re-enter Hd1 and stay there after a finite time which should be uniform with respect to all orbits starting from that bounded set.

Proof. Estimates (5.3.1) and (5.3.2) have already been obtained in (5.1.43) and (5.1.44). Note that Wðu; hÞ ¼ eðu; hÞ  hgðu; hÞ is the Helmholtz free energy function. Recalling (5.2.1), the definition of E ¼ Eðu; hÞ, noting that eh ðu; hÞ ¼ hWhh ðu; hÞ, by (5.1.1)–(5.1.3), (5.1.8)–(5.1.10) and (5.1.12)–(5.1.14), we arrive at by a delicate calculation that    2    lv kðu; hÞh2x ðh  HÞkðu; hÞhx ¼ ðrvÞ @t Eðu; hÞ þ v 2 =2 þ H 0 x þ þ pð1; HÞv þ : ð5:3:4Þ x x uh uh uh2 x

Proof. By (5.1.9) and (5.1.12), we have Wuu ðu; HÞ ¼ pu ðu; HÞ [ 0 for any u [ 0. Therefore, by the Taylor theorem and (5.1.29), we obain Eðu; hÞ  Wðu; hÞ þ Wðu; HÞ þ ðh  HÞWh ðu; hÞ ¼ Wðu; HÞ  Wð1; HÞ  Wu ð1; HÞðu  1Þ Z 1 2 ð1  nÞWuu ð1 þ nðu  1Þ; HÞdn  0: ¼ ðu  1Þ 0

where ri ¼ ri ðdÞ ði ¼ 1; 2Þ are two positive roots of the equation y  log y  1 ¼ Cd . Thus (5.3.5) and (5.3.6) follow from (5.3.7)–(5.3.8). The proof is now complete. □

^ hðu; eÞ  h 

max

u2½d2 ;d3 ;e2½d6 ;d7

ð5:3:11Þ

In fact, it follows from (5.3.1)–(5.3.2) that d6  e :¼ eðu; hÞ  d7 ; d2  u  d3 which yields that h ¼ ^ hðu; eÞ and (5.3.11). Thus (5.3.9) follows. We use the ideas in [159] and [108] to prove this lemma. In fact, if the conclusion in (5.3.10) does not hold, then there exists a sequence of solutions ðun ; vn ; hn Þ with initial data ðun0 ; vn0 ; hn0 Þ 2 Hd1 converging weakly in H 1 , strongly in C ½0; 1 to ðu0 ; v0 ; h0 Þ 2 Hd1 such that for the corresponding solution ðu; v; hÞ to ðu0 ; v0 ; h0 Þ, inf x2½0;1;t  0 h ¼ 0. Thus there is ðxn ; tn Þ 2 ½0; 1  ½0; þ 1Þ such that as n ! þ 1, hðxn ; tn Þ ! 0:

ð5:3:12Þ

If the sequence ftn g has a subsequence, denoted also by tn, converging to þ 1, then from lemma 5.3.1 and (5.3.9) that it follows that as n ! þ 1, hðxn ; tn Þ ! h  h [ 0 which contradicts (5.3.12). If the sequence ftn g is bounded, i.e., there exists a constant M [ 0, independent of n, such that for any n ¼ 1; 2; 3; . . .; 0\tn  M. Thus there exists a point ðx ; t Þ 2 ½0; 1  ½0; M  such that ðxn ; tn Þ ! ðx ; t Þ as n ! þ 1. On the other hand, by (5.3.12) and the continuity of solutions in lemma 5.2.1, we conclude that hðxn ; tn Þ ! hðx ; t Þ ¼ 0 as n ! þ 1, which contradicts (5.3.1). Thus the proof is complete. □ In what follows we will estimate the pointwise positive lower bound and upper bound for u. To this end, we need the following expression of u derived in [105]. Lemma 5.3.4. For each t  0, there exists a point x0 ¼ x0 ðtÞ 2 ½0; 1 such that the specific volume uðx; tÞ has the following representation:   Z t uðx; sÞpðx; sÞ 1 ds ; 8x 2 ½0; 1 uðx; tÞ ¼ Dðx; tÞZ ðtÞ 1 þ l0 0 Dðx; sÞZ ðsÞ

By lemma 5.3.4 and (5.3.14)–(5.3.15), we have uðx; tÞ  Dðx; tÞZ ðtÞ  Cd1 expðCd tÞ:

ð5:3:20Þ

Similarly to the proof of (5.3.10) in lemma 5.3.3, using (5.3.20), we can prove uðx; tÞ  Cd1 ; 8ðx; tÞ 2 ½0; 1  ½0; þ 1Þ: □

The proof is thus complete.

Lemma 5.3.6. For initial data belonging to an arbitrary fixed bounded set B of Hd1 , there is t0 [ 0 depending only on boundedness of this bounded set B such that for all t  t0 , x 2 ½0; 1, d4  hðx; tÞ  d5 ; d2 =2  uðx; tÞ  2d3 :

ð5:3:21Þ

Proof. We use the ideas in [159] and [108] to prove this lemma. Suppose that the conclusion in lemma 5.3.6 does not hold. Then there is a sequence tn ! þ 1 such that for all x 2 ½0; 1, sup hðx; tn Þ [ d5

ð5:3:22Þ

102

where sup is taken for all initial data in a given bounded set B of Hd1 . In the same manner as for the proof of lemma 5.3.3, there exists ðu0 ; v0 ; h0 Þ 2 B such that for the corresponding solution ðu; v; hÞ, we have hðx; tn Þ  d5 ; 8x 2 ½0; 1 which, with (5.2.4), yields h  d5 :

ð5:3:23Þ

This contradicts (5.2.3) or (5.2.4) and (5.3.9). Similarly, we can prove other parts of (5.3.21). □ Remark 5.3.1. From lemmas 5.3.1 and 5.3.6 we derive that for initial data in a given bounded set B of Hd1 , the orbit will re-enter Hd1 and stay there after a finite time. In the sequel, we shall prove the existence of an absorbing ball in Hd1 . Now, we introduce the density of the gas, q ¼ 1=u, then from (5.1.8)–(5.1.9) and (5.1.12)– (5.1.14) it follows that the entropy g ¼ gð1=q; hÞ satisfies @g=@q ¼ ph =q2 ;

@g=@h ¼ eh =h:

ð5:3:24Þ

Consider the transform A : ðq; hÞ 2 Dq;h ¼ fðq; hÞ : q [ 0; h [ 0g ! ðu; gÞ 2 ADq;h ;

ð5:3:25Þ

where u ¼ 1=q and g ¼ gð1=q; hÞ. Since the Jacobian j@ðu; gÞ=@ðq; hÞj ¼ eh =q2 h\0 on Dq;h , there is a unique inverse function h ¼ hðu; gÞ as the smooth function of ðu; gÞ 2 ADq;h . Therefore the functions e; p can be also regarded as the smooth functions of ðu; gÞ. Denote by e ¼ eðu; gÞ : eðu; hðu; gÞÞ ¼ eð1=q; hÞ;

p ¼ pðu; gÞ : pðu; hðu; gÞÞ ¼ pð1=q; hÞ:

Then from (5.1.8)–(5.1.9), (5.1.12)–(5.1.14) and (5.3.24)–(5.3.25), it is obvious that e; p and h satisfy eu ¼ p; eg ¼ h; pu ¼ ðq2 pq þ hp2h =eh Þ; pg ¼ hph =eh ; hu ¼ hph =eh ; hg ¼ h=eh :

ð5:3:26Þ

Define the following energy form Eðu; v; gÞ ¼

v2 @e @e ðu; gÞðu  uÞ  ðu; gÞðg  gÞ; þ eðu; gÞ  eðu; gÞ  @u @g 2

ð5:3:27Þ

where q ¼ 1=u; g ¼ gð1=q; hÞ and u; h are given in (5.2.5) and (5.2.6). Note that initial data ðu0 ; v0 ; h0 Þ belong to an arbitrarily bounded set B of Hd1 , then there is a 0 00 positive constant B such that kðu0 ; v0 ; h0 ÞkH 1  B. We now use Cd;B or Cd;B ; Cd;B to denote generic positive constants depending on B and di ; ði ¼ 1; . . .; 7Þ.

Lemma 5.3.7. For any initial data ðu0 ; v0 ; h0 Þ 2 Hd1 , the unique generalized global solution ðuðtÞ; vðtÞ; hðtÞÞ to problem (5.1.1)–(5.1.3), (5.1.5)–(5.1.6) or (5.1.1)– (5.1.3), (5.1.5), (5.1.7) satisfies v2 v2 1 þ CB;d þ CB;d ðju  uj2 þ jg  gj2 Þ: ð5:3:28Þ ðju  uj2 þ jg  gj2 Þ  Eðu; v; gÞ  2 2 Proof. Using the mean value theorem, there exists a point ðe u; e g Þ between ðu; gÞ and ðu; gÞ such that Eðu; v; gÞ ¼

  v2 1 @2e @2e @2e 2 2 e e e ðe u ; g Þðu  þ ; ðe u ; g Þðu  uÞ þ 2 uÞðg  gÞ þ ðe u ; g Þðg  gÞ 2 @u 2 @u@g @g2 2

ð5:3:29Þ

where e ¼ k0 u þ ð1  k0 Þu; u

e g ¼ k0 g þ ð1  k0 Þg; 0  k0  1:

From lemmas 5.2.1, 5.3.3 and 5.3.5, we can derive that e  Cd ; 0\Cd1  h  CB ; 0\Cd1  u which implies

je g j  CB ;

  2  2   2   @ e @ e  @ e       ðe u; e g Þ þ  2 ðe u; e g Þ þ  u; e g Þ  CB;d : @u 2 ðe @u@g @g

ð5:3:30Þ

Thus it follows from (5.3.29) and (5.3.30) and the Cauchy’s inequality that Eðu; v; gÞ 

v2 þ CB;d ½ðu  uÞ2 þ ðg  gÞ2 : 2

ð5:3:31Þ

Moreover, from (5.3.26) we can deduce that euu ¼ pu ¼ q2 pq þ hp2h =eh ; eug ¼ pg ¼ hu ¼ hph =eh ; egg ¼ hg ¼ h=eh ; which gives that the Hessian of eðu; gÞ is positive definite for any u [ 0 and h [ 0. Thus it follows from (5.3.29) that Eðu; v; gÞ 

v2 v2 1 þ kmin ðe þ CB;d u; e g Þ½ðu  uÞ2 þ ðg  gÞ2   ½ðu  uÞ2 þ ðg  gÞ2 ; 2 2 ð5:3:32Þ

where kmin ðu; gÞ is the smaller characteristic root of the Hessian of eðu; gÞ, which is a 1 u; e g Þ  CB;d . Thus the left part of (5.3.28) smooth function of u and g and hence kmin ðe can be proved using (5.3.31) and (5.3.32). □ Lemma 5.3.8.

Proof of Theorem 5.1.1

In this section, we shall prove theorem 5.1.1. Noting that existence of absorbing balls in Hd2 and Hd1 has been established, we can use the abstract framework (see also chapter 4) given in [53] by Ghidaglia to conclude that Lemma 5.5.1. The set xðB2 Þ ¼

\ [

ð5:5:1Þ

Remark 5.5.1. Similarly as in chapter 4, for a bounded set B in Hd2 , we can also define xðBÞ by (5.5.1) and when B is nonempty, xðBÞ is also included in B2 ; nonempty and invariant. Since B2 is an absorbing ball, we conclude at once that xðBÞxðB2 Þ, which indeed implies that xðB2 Þ is maximal in the sense of inclusion. Theorem 5.5.2. The set A2;d ¼ xðB2 Þ

Moreover, it is the maximal set in the sense of inclusion that satisfies (5.5.4)– (5.5.6). Proof. The proof of this theorem is the same as that of lemma 4.5.3, also see the arguments in [51]. Thus we omit the details here. □ Similarly to chapter 4, following [51], we also call A2;d the universal attractor of SðtÞ in Hd2 . For the existence of an universal attractor in Hd1 , we need to show the following lemma, see also chapter 4. Lemma 5.5.3. For every t  0, the mapping SðtÞ is continuous on bounded sets of Hd1 for the topology induced by the norm in L2  L2  L2 . Proof. We suppose that ðu0j ; v0j ; h0j Þ 2 Hd1 ; kðu0j ; v0j ; h0j ÞkH 1  R; ðuj ; vj ; hj Þ ¼ SðtÞ ðu0j ; v0j ; h0j Þ ðj ¼ 1; 2Þ, and ðu; v; hÞ ¼ ðu1 ; v1 ; h1 Þ  ðu2 ; v2 ; h2 Þ. Subtracting the corresponding equations (5.1.1)–(5.1.3) satisfied by ðu1 ; v1 ; h1 Þ and ðu2 ; v2 ; h2 Þ, we have ut ¼ vx ; vt ¼ pu ðu1 ; h1 Þux  ðpu ðu1 ; h1 Þ  pu ðu2 ; h2 ÞÞu2x  ph ðu1 ; h1 Þhx

By lemmas 5.2.1, 5.3.1–5.3.3, and 5.3.5, we deduce that for any t [ 0 and j ¼ 1; 2, Z t 2 kðuj ðtÞ; vj ðtÞ; hj ðtÞÞkH 1 þ ðkujx k2 þ kvj k2H 2 þ khjx k2H 1 þ khjt ðtÞk2 þ kvjt k2 ÞðsÞds  CR;d ; 0

Therefore, we can derive the conclusion of this lemma using the Gronwall’s inequality, (5.5.12), (5.5.13) and (5.1.20). □ Now following agian the same arguments as in [53] (see also theorem 4.5.4) to obtain the following result on existence of an universal attractor in Hd1 .

Bibliographic Comments

Recall that the global existence and asymptotic behaviour of smooth (generalized) solutions to the system (5.1.1)–(5.1.3) have been studied by many authors, e.g., see [94, 99, 105] on the initial boundary value problems and the Cauchy problem. Zheng and Qin [159] obtained the existence of maximal attractor for the problem (5.1.1)– (5.1.3) and (5.1.5)–(5.1.6) for (5.1.11). Qin [107] established the existence and exponential stability of a C0 -semigroup in the subspace of H i  H i  H i ði ¼ 1; 2Þ for a viscous ideal gas (5.1.11) in a bounded domain in R (see chapter 4) and in bounded annular domains Gn ¼ fx 2 Rn j0\a\jxj\bg ðn ¼ 2; 3Þ in Rn (see chapter 4) for a viscous spherically symmetric ideal gas. We point out here that these results have improved those in [99] for (5.1.11). Moreover, Jiang [62] proved the global existence for the system (5.1.1)–(5.1.3) with the boundary conditions (5.1.6) or (5.1.7) or Qð0; tÞ ¼ Qð1; tÞ ¼ 0;

Note that our assumption (5.1.22) is weaker than (5.6.8) and (5.6.10).

Under the assumptions (5.1.8), (5.1.12)–(5.1.26), Qin [105] improved the results in [62, 70] to obtain global existence and asymptotic behaviour of smooth solutions (generalized solutions in H 1  H 1  H 1 ) to problems (5.1.1)–(5.1.3), (5.1.5)–(5.1.6) and (5.1.1)– (5.1.3), (5.1.5), (5.1.7).

We should point out here that assumptions (5.1.15)–(5.1.19) on the exponents q; r do not cover the case of q ¼ r ¼ 0. The case of a one-dimensional polytropic viscous ideal gas (see (5.1.11)) is a special case of q ¼ r ¼ 0, for which many authors proved the global existence and asymptotic behaviour of smooth (generalized) solutions, see [71, 72, 94, 106, 112], etc. For the infinite-dimensional dynamics, we refer to [146]. Concerning compressible fluid, we have the recent works of Zheng and Qin [158, 159] where the existence of maximal universal attractors for the one-dimensional viscous heat-conductive polytropic ideal gas in a bounded domain with (5.1.11)) (see chapter 4) and in bounded annular domains in Rn ; n ¼ 2; 3 (see the next chapter) was proved. In this chapter, we use the abstract framework established in [53] and the ideas in [108, 158, 159] to establish the existence of universal (maximal, global) attractors for problems (5.1.1)–(5.1.3), (5.1.5)–(5.1.6) and (5.1.1)–(5.1.3), (5.1.5), (5.1.7) with more general constitutive relations (5.1.8) and (5.1.12)–(5.1.26).

Since some of present mathematical difficulties are similar to the four points (1)–(4) in section 4.6, we omit these four points here. Besides, we have the next mathematical difficulty. (5) Unlike the one-dimensional polytropic viscous idealgas (5.1.11) (the special case of q ¼ r ¼ 0), see also chapter 4. Since equations (5.1.1)– (5.1.3) look more complicated than those of the special case of q ¼ r ¼ 0 and those in chapter 4. Thus much more delicate estimates are needed here.

Chapter 6 Global Attractors for the Compressible Navier–Stokes Equations in Bounded Annular Domains This chapter will prove the existence of universal (global) attractor for Navier–Stokes equations for a polytropic viscous heat conductive ideal gas in bounded annular domains Xn in Rn ðn ¼ 2; 3Þ. One important feature of this problem is that our working metric spaces H ð1Þ , H ð2Þ and H ð4Þ are three incomplete metric spaces, as can be known from the constraints h [ 0 and u [ 0 with h and u being absolute temperature and specific volume, respectively. For any constants d1 ; d2 ; . . .; d5 satisfying certain conðiÞ ditions, three sequences of closed subspaces Hd  H ðiÞ ði ¼ 1; 2; 4Þ have ð1Þ

been constructed, and the existence of three (maximal) universal attractors in Hd , ð2Þ

ð4Þ

Hd and Hd is established. This chapter is picked from Zheng and Qin [158] and the weakly compact semigroup method (see theorem 1.2.24) will be used here.

In the sequel, we first turn problem (6.1.1)–(6.1.5) into that in the Lagrangian coordinates and obtain the results on existence of maximal universal attractors.

Clearly, Hd is a sequence of closed subspaces of H ðiÞ ði ¼ 1; 2; 4Þ: Similarly as chapters 4 and 5, the first three constraints are invariant, while the last two constraints are not invariant, which are just introduced to overcome the difficulty that the original spaces H ðiÞ are incomplete. It is very crucial to prove that ðiÞ ðiÞ the orbit starting from any bounded set of Hd will re-enter Hd after a finite time. The notation in this chapter will be as follows: Lp ; 1  p  þ 1; W m;p ; m 2 N; H 1 ¼ W 1;2 ; H01 ¼ W01;2 denote the usual (Sobolev) spaces on ð0; LÞ: In addition, k  kB denotes the norm in the space B; we also put k  k ¼ k  kL2 : We denote by C k ðI ; BÞ; k 2 N0 ; the space of k-times continuously differentiable functions from I R into a Banach space B, and likewise by Lp ðI ; BÞ; 1  p  þ 1 the corresponding Lebesgue spaces. Subscripts t and x denote ðiÞ the (partial) derivatives with respect to t and x, respectively. We use C0 ; i ¼ 1; 2; 4 to denote the universal constant depending only on the H ðiÞ norm of initial data, minx2½0;L u0 ðxÞ and minx2½0;L h0 ðxÞ. Cd denotes the universal constant depending ðiÞ

only on di ði ¼ 1; 2; :::; 8Þ, but independent of initial data. Cd denotes the universal constant depending on both dj ðj ¼ 1; 2; :::; 8Þ, H ðiÞ norm of initial data, minx2½0;L h0 ðxÞ and minx2½0;L u0 ðxÞ. Our main theorem reads as follows.

it possesses in Hd a maximal universal attractor Ai;d ði ¼ 1; 2; 4Þ: Remark 6.1.1. See section 6.5 in this chapter for more precise definition of (maximal) universal attractor. S Remark 6.1.2. The set Ai ¼ d1 ;d2 ;...;d8 Ai;d ði ¼ 1; 2Þ is a global noncompact

attractor in the metric space H ðiÞ in the following sense that it attracts any bounded sets of H ðiÞ with constraints u  g1 ; h  g2 with g1 ; g2 being any given positive constants. This chapter is organized as follows. Section 6.2 is concerned with nonlinear semiðiÞ groups on H ðiÞ and on HL;G ði ¼ 1; 2; 4Þ. To prove theorem 6.1.1, sections 6.3 and 6.4 ðiÞ

are devoted to proofs of the existence of absorbing sets in Hd ði ¼ 1; 2Þ, then we complete the proof of theorem 6.1.1 for i ¼ 1; 2 in section 6.5.

Nonlinear Semigroup on H ð2Þ

As known in section 6.1, for any initial data ðu0 ; v0 ; h0 Þ 2 H ð1Þ , the results on global existence, uniqueness and asymptotic behaviour of solutions to problem (6.1.12)– (6.1.17) have been established in [64] and [108], respectively. It has been proved in [108] that the operators SðtÞ defined by the solutions are C0 -semigroups on H ðiÞ ði ¼ 1; 2Þ, respectively. The following lemma has been in [64, 108]. Lemma 6.2.1. The generalized global solution ðuðtÞ; vðtÞ; hðtÞÞ to problem (6.1.12)– (6.1.17) defines a nonlinear C0 -semigroup SðtÞ on H ð1Þ such that for any ðu0 ; v0 ; h0 Þ 2 H ð1Þ ; SðtÞðu0 ; v0 ; h0 Þ ¼ ðuðtÞ; vðtÞ; hðtÞÞ 2 C ð½0; þ 1Þ; H ð1Þ Þ, ut ; vt ; ht ; hx ; vx ; ux ; vxx ; hxx ; ðr  rÞx ; ðr  rÞxx ; rtxx 2 L2 ð½0; þ 1Þ; L2 Þ.

Proof. The proof borrowed some ideas from that in [159] for the case of n ¼ 1. Noting that Bðx; tÞ depends on the variables x and t for the case of n ¼ 2 or 3, the present situation is more complicated than that for the case of n ¼ 1.

Bibliographic Comments

In this section, we shall recall some related results from the literature. For two or three dimensions, the global existence and asymptotic behavior in time of smooth solutions to the equations of a viscous and heat-conductive polytropic ideal gas in general domains have been studied only for sufficiently small smooth initial data (see [85–88, 149]). For the spherically symmetric motion of ideal gas in a bounded annular domain and exterior domain, the global existence and uniqueness of generalized solutions with arbitrary large initial data have been shown in [46, 96] and [47, 63] for various boundary conditions. The corresponding study on asymptotic behaviour of solutions for any given initial datum has been done in [64, 108]. In one-dimensional case, for the initial boundary value problems in bounded domains, we know that for arbitrarily large initial datum, there is a unique global (generalized or smooth) solution that converges (exponentially) to a steady state as time goes to infinity, see [2, 60, 61], and [106–109]; see also [107, 123, 131] and references therein for the counterpart in nonlinear thermoviscoelasticity). For the one-dimensional Cauchy problem, the results on global existence and asymptotic behavior were still established with assumption of small initial data, see [64, 69, 71, 122, 156, 160] and the references therein. For the global attractors, we may refer to [44] and the references therein for the Navier–Stokes equations for incompressible fluid. We also recall two references [33, 59]. In [59], the authors briefly described their result on the existence of a

In [33], the author considered the isentropic compressible viscous flow in a bounded domain in R3 where the uniqueness of weak solutions is not known since it was based on the fundamental result on global existence of weak solutions by P. L. Lions [79]. Thus it is impossible to adopt the usual solution semigroup approach. Consequently, the author [33] used a quite different approach, i.e., he replaced the usual solution semigroup setting by simple time shifts; in other words, he worked on the space of “short” trajectories, as mentioned. Therefore, this chapter is quite different from [33] in the following aspects: non-isentropic via isentropic; spherically symmetric motion via non-spherically symmetric motion; solution semigroup approach via simple time shift. Since some present mathematical difficulties in studying global attractors are similar to those four points (1)–(4) in section 4.6 of chapter 4, we omit the details here.

Chapter 7 Global Attractor for a Nonlinear Thermoviscoelastic System in Shape Memory Alloys This chapter shall prove the existence of a global attractor for a semiflow governed by the weak solutions to a nonlinear one-dimensional thermoviscoelastic system with clamped boundary conditions in shape memory alloys. In order to describe physically phase transitions between different configurations of crystal lattices, we shall work in a framework where the strain u belongs to L1 and introduce more delicate estimates to derive the crucial L1 -estimate of strain u in establishing the uniform compactness of the orbit of the semiflow and existence of an absorbing set. We shall devise a new method in this chapter to prove uniform compactness of semiflow SðtÞ, see lemmas 7.3.2–7.3.4. The content of this chapter is adapted from Qin [119]. The nonlinear thermoviscoelastic system studied in this chapter is quite different from that in chapter 5, which is the one-dimensional compressible Navier–Stokes equations of real gas with different constitutive relations from those in chapter 5. The method used here is the uniformly compact semigroup method, see theorem 1.2.23.

Attractors for Nonlinear Autonomous Dynamical Systems

Consider problem (7.1.1)–(7.1.3) in the region f0  x  1; t  0g. It is well-known that for one-dimensional homogeneous, thermoviscoelastic materials, the constitutive relations of e; r; g (specific entropy) and Q satisfy the following relations (see [115, 123, 131, 152, 158]) ^ðu; h; vx Þ; g ¼ ^ e ¼ ^eðu; hÞ; r ¼ r gðu; hÞ; Q ¼ q^ðu; h; hx Þ:

ð7:1:4Þ

We know that in order to comply with the second law of thermodynamics expressed by the Clausius–Duhem inequality, (7.1.4) must fulfill ^ u ðu; hÞ; ^ ^ h ðu; hÞ; ^ðu; h; 0Þ ¼ W r gðu; hÞ ¼ W ^ðu; h; 0ÞÞw  0; ð^ rðu; h; wÞ  r

^q ðu; h; gÞg  0:

ð7:1:5Þ ð7:1:6Þ

^ ¼ W ¼ e  hg is the Helmholtz free energy function, and g is the specific Here W entropy. The following assumptions are supposed to hold for problem (7.1.1)–(7.1.5) (see [131]): (i) The material model considered here has viscoelastic damping of rate type, i.e., r¼

ð7:1:7Þ

with a constant c [ 0. (ii) The heat flux Q is proportional to hx : Q ¼ jhx

ð7:1:8Þ

with a constant j [ 0. (iii) The Helmholtz free energy W takes the following form: Wðu; hÞ ¼ cv h ln h þ c1 h þ F1 ðuÞh þ F2 ðuÞ

ð7:1:9Þ

with positive constants cv ; c1 and smooth functions F1 ; F2 . (iv) In order to include the model to study of phase transitions problems in shape memory alloys (see [31, 32]), F1 and F2 take the following forms: F1 ðuÞ ¼ u 2 ;

F2 ðuÞ ¼ u 6  c2 u 4  c3 u 2 ;

ð7:1:10Þ

where c2 and c3 are positive constant. It therefore turns out that (7.1.1)–(7.1.3) reduces to the following problem ut ¼ vx ;

Now we assume that equations (7.1.11)–(7.1.13) are subject to the following boundary conditions and initial conditions: v ¼ 0; hx ¼ 0; for x ¼ 0; 1;

ð7:1:15Þ

t ¼ 0 : u ¼ u0 ðxÞ; v ¼ v0 ðxÞ; h ¼ h0 ðxÞ:

ð7:1:16Þ

The boundary conditions implies physically that there is no heat flux through the boundary and the rod is clamped at the both ends. In order to describe physically martensitic phase transitions between different configurations of crystal lattices, we have to work in a framework in which the strain u belongs to L1 ð0; 1Þ, hence we assume that (v) u0 ðxÞ 2 L1 ð0; 1Þ; v0 ðxÞ 2 W 1;1 ð0; 1Þ; h0 ðxÞ 2 H 1 ð0; 1Þ with h0 ðxÞ [ 0 for any x 2 ½0; 1. Moreover, assume that the compatibility conditions v0 ð0Þ ¼ v0 ð1Þ ¼ 0 hold. Now define two spaces as H ¼ fðu; v; hÞ 2 L1  W 1;1  H 1 : hðxÞ [ 0; x 2 ½0; 1; vjx¼0 ¼ vjx¼1 ¼ 0g and

Clearly, Hd is a closed subspace of H. The next is the main result in this chapter. Theorem 7.1.1. The nonlinear semiflow fSðtÞg defined by the global weak solutions to problem (7.1.11)–(7.1.16) maps H into itself. Furthermore, for any given constants di 2 R ði ¼ 1; 2; 3; 4Þ verifying (7.1.17), the semiflow fSðtÞg possesses in Hd a global attractor Ad . Furthermore, the following conclusions hold: (1) Ad attracts all bounded sets in Hd ; (2) Ad is maximal in the sense that every compact invariant set in Hd lies in Ad ;

(3) Ad is minimal in the sense that if B is any closed set in Hd that attracts each compact set in Hd , then one has Ad  B; (4) For each bounded set B in Hd , the omega-limit set xðBÞ satisfies xðBÞAd ; (5) Ad is a connected set in Hd ; (6) Ad is Lyapunov stable, i.e., for every neighborhood V of Ad and every s [ 0, there is a neighborhood U of Ad with the property that SðtÞU V , for all t  s. (7) Ad ¼ \ s  0 [ t  s SðtÞBd is invariant under SðtÞ, i.e., SðtÞAd ¼ Ad ; t  0. (8) Ad is compact. S Remark 7.1.1. We should point out here that the set A ¼ d1 ;...;d4 Ad is a noncompact global attractor in the metric space H in the sense that it attracts any bounded sets of H with constraint h  d1 [ 0 where d1 [ 0 is any given positive constant. Remark 7.1.2. For some polynomial functions, theorem 7.1.1 is also valid, for example, the case F1 ¼ F1 ðsÞ ¼ b0 s2n þ 2 þ b1 s 2n þ 1 þ þ b2n þ 2 and F2 ¼ F2 ðsÞ ¼ a0 s 2m þ 2 þ a1 s 2m þ 1 þ þ a2m þ 2 with a0 [ 0; b0 [ 0; aj ; bk 2 R ðj ¼ 1; 2; . . .; 2m þ 2; bk ¼ 1; 2; . . .; 2n þ 2Þ being constants and m  n  0 being integers. The usual notation in this chapter will follow that in chapters 4–6. Specially, by C0 [ 0 we denote the generic positive constant depending only on the L1  W01;1  H 1 -norm of the initial datum ðu0 ; v0 ; h0 Þ. Cd (sometimes Cid ði ¼ 1; 2; . . .Þ) stands for the generic positive constant depending only on di ði ¼ 1; . . .; 4Þ, but is independent of initial data. CB denotes the generic positive constant depending on the parameters di ði ¼ 1; . . .; 4Þ and the L1  W01;1  H 1 -norm of initial datum ~ where ðu0 ; v0 ; h0 Þ 2 BL1  W 1;1  H 1 and B ðu0 ; v0 ; h0 Þ with kðu0 ; v0 ; h0 ÞkH  B, 0 ~ is a positive constant depending only on is a bounded set in L1  W01;1  H 1 and B the bounded set B. Similarly as in chapter 5, we use the same symbol to denote the state functions as well as their values along a thermodynamic process, e.g., r1 ðu; hÞ, and r1 ðuðx; tÞ; hðx; tÞÞ and r1 ðx; tÞ. We organize this chapter as follows. Section 7.2 is devoted to the existence of an absorbing set in Hd or equivalently the semiflow fSðtÞg is point dissipative. Section 7.3 focuses on the compactness of the orbit which completes the proof of theorem 7.1.1.

7.2

An Absorbing Set Bd in Hd

This section will establish the existence of an absorbing set Bd in Hd for the semiflow fSðtÞg. The proof of theorem 7.1.1 consists of a series of the following lemmas. For simplicity, we assume that cv ¼ c ¼ 1 in (7.1.11)–(7.1.13). The next lemma has been given in [119].

P ðnpÞ2 t cos npx cos npy stands for the fundamental solution to and H ðx; y; tÞ ¼ 1 n¼0 e the heat equation subject to the homogeneous Neumann boundary condition. We thus derive from lemma 7.2.2 that the mapping SðtÞ : ðu0 ; v0 ; h0 Þ 2 H ! ðuðtÞ; vðtÞ; hðtÞÞ ¼ SðtÞðu0 ; v0 ; h0 Þ exists for any t [ 0, and satisfies SðtÞðu0 ; v0 ; h0 Þ 2 C ðð0; 1Þ; HÞ. On the other hand, it follows from the proof in [131] that the family operators fSðtÞg, defined by the global weak solution ðuðtÞ; vðtÞ; hðtÞÞ 2 H above are continuous operators from H into itself and enjoy the usual semiflow properties. Now we always assume that the initial datum ðu0 ; v0 ; h0 Þ 2 B with ~ where B is an arbitrarily bounded set in Hd ; B ~ [ 0 is a constant kðu0 ; v0 ; h0 ÞkH  B depending on B. Then the generic constant C0 [ 0 in lemma 7.2.2 can be replaced by CB under the above assumption. Lemma 7.2.2. There holds that for any t [ 0, Z 1 Z 1 uðx; tÞdx ¼ u0 ðxÞdx  d3 ; 0

Proof. We apply lemmas 7.2.1–7.2.3 and the method of the proof of lemma 2.2 in [131] to derive (7.2.17) and (7.2.18). The difference here is that the constants Cd ðaÞ in (7.2.17) and (7.2.18) depends only on parameters di ði ¼ 1; 2; 3; 4Þ. Thus this proves the proof. h The next lemma focuses on the uniform estimate on the L1 -norm of the strain u, which is very important to prove our main theorem. Lemma 7.2.5. We have that for any t  1, kuðtÞkL1  C1d þ CB ec1 t ;

This section is devoted to verification that the semiflow fSðtÞg is compact, i.e., we S need to prove that there exists some time t0 ¼ t0 ðBÞ [ 0 such that t  t0 SðtÞB is relatively compact in Hd , where B is an arbitrarily bounded set in Hd . For this purpose, we prove that for any ðu0 ; v0 ; h0 Þ 2 B, the orbit ðuðtÞ; vðtÞ; hðtÞÞ 2 Hd is uniformly bounded, i.e., the bound depends only on the parameters, but is independent of initial data in the space H1d . This will be carried out in a series of lemmas below and lemma 1.2.17. @2 2 2 We consider a closed linear operator A ¼ @x 2 : X0 ¼ L ð0; 1Þ ! X0 ¼ L ð0; 1Þ 2 1 with the domain DðAÞ ¼ H ð0; 1Þ \ H0 ð0; 1Þ verifying that AuðxÞ ¼ uxx ðxÞ 2 L2 ð0; 1Þ; 8u 2 DðAÞ:

ð7:3:18Þ

where ð^z1s ; A^z0s Þ 2 X0  X0 and ^z ¼ ^z s ðtÞ. Then problem (4.3.17) and (4.3.18) reduces to Wt ¼ AW ; t  s  0; W ðsÞ ¼ W0s ¼ ð^z1s ; A^z0s ÞT 2 X0  X0 ;

where qðAÞ is the resolvent set of A. Thus from lemma 1.2.17 and (7.3.42) we can derive that for any t [ 0; m  0; k Am T ðtÞkLðX0 Þ  C ðmÞt m edt ;

Since the system (7.1.1)–(7.1.3) is the same formally as the system (5.1.1)–(5.1.3) only with different constitutive relations, the essential mathematical difficulties are similar. Thus for mathematical difficulties for the system (7.1.1)–(7.1.3), we can refer to four points (1)–(4) in section 4.6 of chapter 4.

Chapter 8 Global Attractors for Nonlinear Reaction–Diffusion Equations and the 2D Navier–Stokes Equations In this chapter, we shall prove the existence of global attractor for nonlinear reaction–diffusion equations and the 2D Navier–Stokes equations, which are regarded as applications of the norm-to-weak continuous semigroup in a Banach space established in [163]. The content of this chapter is adapted from Zhong, Yang and Sun [163]. The methods used in this chapter are x-limit compact semigroup method (see theorems 1.2.29, 1.2.30, 1.2.37), condition-(C) method (see theorem 1.2.38), and the norm-to-weak continuous semigroup method (see theorem 1.2.51).

It follows from [162] that the semigroup associated with the solutions of system has a global attractor in L2 ðXÞ. Combining this result and the asymptotic properties of the semigroup, we shall prove the existence of global attractors in Lp ðXÞ. Lemma 8.1.2. Assume fSðtÞg is a semigroup on Lp ðXÞ and fSðtÞg have a bounded absorbing set in Lp ðXÞ. Then for any e [ 0 and any bounded subset B  Lp ðXÞ, there exist positive constants T ¼ TB and M ¼ M ðeÞ such that mðXðjSðtÞu0 j  M ÞÞ  e; 8 u0 2 B; t  T ; where mðeÞ denotes the Lebesgue measure of e  X and Xðjuj  M Þ , fx 2 Xjj uðxÞj  M g.

Noting the definition of x-limit compactness of the semigroup, from lemma 8.1.3, the following result follows easily. Remark 8.1.1. Assume that fSðtÞg is a semigroup on Lp ðXÞ and Lq ðXÞ, respectively, where p  q [ 0 and X  Rn is bounded, and fSðtÞg satisfy the following two assumptions: (i) fSðtÞg is x-limit compact in Lq ðXÞ; (ii) for any e [ 0 and any bounded subset B  Lq ðXÞ, there exist positive constants M ¼ M ðe; BÞ and T ¼ T ðe; BÞ such that Z jSðtÞu0 jp dx\e; 8 u0 2 B; t  T : XðjSðtÞu0 j  M Þ

Then fSðtÞg is x-limit compact in Lp ðXÞ. Combining the above result, we have the following theorem which can be used easily to prove the existence of the global attractor for some semigroup in Lp ðXÞ using theorems 1.2.29, 1.2.30, and 1.2.37. Theorem 8.1.4. Assume fSðtÞg is a semigroup on Lp ðXÞ and Lq ðXÞ, respectively, where p  q [ 0 and X  Rn is bounded, and fSðtÞg satisfy the following four assumptions: (i) fSðtÞg is x -limit compact in Lq ðXÞ; (ii) fSðtÞg has a bounded absorbing set B0 in Lp ðXÞ; (iii) for any e [ 0 and any bounded subset B  Lq ðXÞ, there exist positive constants M ¼ M ðe; BÞ and T ¼ T ðe; BÞ such that Z jSðtÞu0 jp dx\e; 8 u0 2 B; t  T ; XðjSðtÞu0 j  M Þ

(iv) fSðtÞg is norm-to-weak continuous on ðSðB0 Þ; j  jp Þ. Then fSðtÞg possesses a global attractor in Lp ðXÞ.

In this subsection, we shall discuss the case where the external forcing term d 2 H

Using the nonstandard estimate about the energy functional, the fact that the semigroup SðtÞ has a global attractor in L2 ðXÞ has been proved in [162]. Lemma 8.1.5. Assume that X is a bounded smooth domain in R2 , f i ; h 2 L2 ðXÞ ði ¼ 1; . . .; nÞ. Then the semigroup generated by the weak solution of system has a global attractor AH in L2 ðXÞ. The next lemma concerns the existence of absorbing sets in Lp ðXÞ and H01 ðXÞ.

Theorem 8.1.6. The semigroup fSðtÞg has a bounded absorbing set in Lp ðXÞ and H01 ðXÞ respectively, that is, for any bounded subset B in L2 ðXÞ, there exists a positive constant T , depending only on the L2 -norm of B, such that juðtÞjpp  M ; 8u0 2 B; t  T and jruðtÞj22  M ; 8u0 2 B; t  T ; where M is a positive constant independent of B, uðtÞ ¼ SðtÞu0 .

Theorem 8.1.7. For any e [ 0 and any bounded subset B  L2 ðXÞ, there exist two positive constants T ¼ T ðe; BÞ and M ¼ M ðeÞ such that Z juðtÞjp \C e; 8 u0 2 B; t  T ; XðjuðtÞj  M Þ

Next, we shall prove the existence of a global attractor in H01 ðXÞ. Now we first give some a priori estimates about ut endowed with L2 -norm. Theorem 8.1.9. Assume f i ði ¼ 1; 2; . . .; nÞ, h 2 L2 ðXÞ, and fSðtÞg is the semigroup associated with system. Then for any bounded subset B in L2 ðXÞ, there exists a positive constant T ¼ TB such that jut ðsÞj2 \M ; 8 u0 2 B; s  T ; where jut ðsÞ ¼ dtd ðSðtÞu0 Þjt¼s and M is a positive constant which is independent of B.

Theorem 8.2.1. Assume that f ; u0 2 H . Then there exists a unique solution u of (8.2.2) such that, for any T [ 0, u 2 C ð0; T ; H Þ \ L2 ð0; T ; V Þ. Moreover, for t  0, u is analytic in t with values in DðAÞ, and the mapping u0 ! uðtÞ is continuous from H into DðAÞ; If u0 2 V , then for any T [ 0, u 2 C ð0; T ; H Þ \ L2 ð0; T ; DðAÞÞ. Note that the above theorem allows us to define a C 0 semigroup fSðtÞg by SðtÞ : u0 ! uðtÞ and the next existence theorem of global attractors in H was established in [45]. Theorem 8.2.2. The semigroup fSðtÞg associated with (8.2.2) has a global attractor A 2 V that is compact, connected and maximal in H , and attracts all bounded set of H. The semigroup fSðtÞg has an absorbing set BV ð0; q1 Þ  V , centered at 0, with radius q1 , satisfying that, for any bounded set B of H , there exists some t0 [ 0 such that SðtÞB  BV ð0; q1 Þ  V for all t  t0 . Thus we can prove our main result in this section as follows. Theorem 8.2.3. The global attractor A of he semigroup fSðtÞg associated with (8.2.2) is compact, connected and maximal in V , and attracts all bounded set of V . Consequently it attracts all bounded sets of H in V norm. Proof. Let m 2 N be a fixed integer, and P ¼ Pm is the the projector in H onto the space spanned by the first m eigenvectors of operator A, w1 ; . . .; wm . Also, we set Q ¼ Qm ¼ I

Hence it follows from (9.1.10) that there exists a subsequence of fum g, still denoted by fum g, satisfying that um * u star-weakly in L1 ðR þ ; W Þ; um * u star-weakly in L1 ðR þ ; V Þ; um ! u strongly in L2 ð0; T ; V \ H 2 Þ; 8T [ 0: Thus we conclude that the above convergence allows to pass to the limit when m goes to infinity and find that u is the solution of problem (9.1.7), the uniqueness proof is standard. From u 2 L1 ðR þ ; W Þ and u 0 2 L1 ðR þ ; V Þ, it follows that u is a.e. equal to a continuous function from ½0; T  into V for all T [ 0.

Lemma 9.1.1. um ðtÞ*uðtÞ weakly in W , for all t 0. Proof.

ð9:1:19Þ

and by the density of fxj g in W , we derive um0 ðtÞ*uðtÞ; weakly in W ; 8t 2 ½0; T :

ð9:1:20Þ

Then, by a contradiction argument, we conclude that the whole sequence fum ðtÞgm converges to uðtÞ weakly in W for every t 2 ½0; T . We now prove an energy inequality in W for the solution u.

Since u0m ! u0 strongly in W , um *u in L1 ðR þ ; W Þ, and K is weakly continuous on W , using the Lebesgue-dominated convergence theorem, we can pass to the limit in (9.1.21) to get Z t 2m 2 2 2m t a lim jum ðtÞjW ¼ ju0 jW e þ K ðuðsÞÞe a ðtsÞ ; 8t 2 ½0; T : ð9:1:22Þ m!1

Wellposedness of Solutions

In this subsection, we shall first prove the next theorem of wellposedness of solutions. Theorem 9.2.1. Equation (9.2.1) generates a semigroup SðtÞ on the phase space H0 . Proof. The proof is carried out by means of a Galerkin approximation scheme. Existence is obtained exploiting the uniform energy estimate established in the next proposition, and then passing to the limit in a standard way. h Lemma 9.2.2. For every t 0, there holds knu ðtÞkH0  Qðknu ð0ÞkH0 Þ þ Qðkf kÞ: Proof. Introduce the energy functional E0 ¼ knu k2H0 þ 2\UðuÞ; 1 [  2\f ; u [ ; where

ð9:2:9Þ

and the conclusion follows integrating on ð0; tÞ: Integrating equality (9.2.9) on ð0; 1Þ, and using theorem 9.2.1 and (9.2.1), we also obtain the existence of suitable dissipation integrals, namely, Lemma 9.2.3.

Note that E0 is a Lyapunov function for SðtÞ, and uniqueness is a consequence of the following continuous dependence result. h

For e 2 ð0; 1Þ to be determined later, define K ¼ knv k2H0 þ 2\wðuÞ  wðwÞ; v [  \w0 ðuÞv; v [ þ 2e\@t v; v [ : Using (9.2.3) and (9.2.17), together with the uniform bounds on kruk and krwk, the functional K satisfies the inequalities 1 kn k2  K  cknv k2H0 ; 4 v H0

provided that e is small enough.

Indeed, it is easily to see that, for e small enough, 2ekrvk2 þ 2\rðuÞ@t v; @t v [  2ek@t vk2 þ 2e\wðuÞ  wðwÞ; v [ e eK þ krvk2 þ r0 k@t vk2 : 2 Therefore, we get the following differential inequality. d e K þ eK þ krvk2 þ r0 k@t vk2 dt 2 ¼ 2\ðw0 ðuÞ  w0 ðwÞÞ@t ; v [  \w00 ðuÞ@t u; v 2 [  2\ðrðuÞ  rðwÞÞ@t w; @t v [  2e\ðrðuÞ  rðwÞÞ@t w; v [  2e\rðuÞ@t v; v [ : Then, we continue to control the terms in the right-hand side.

Finally, e 2e\rðuÞ@t v; v [ cek@t vkkrvk  krvk2 þ cek@t vk2 : 4 Collecting the above inequalities, we arrive at d e e K þ K þ ðr0  ceÞk@t vk2  krvk2 þ ðk@t uk2 þ k@t wk2 ÞK: dt 2 4 Now fix e [ 0 small enough satisfying the above conditions and r0  ce 0, then we can obtain d e K þ K þ  cðk@t uk2 þ k@t wk2 ÞK: dt 2 Applying the integral estimates in lemma 9.2.2 and (9.2.22), the conclusion follows by applying theorem 1.1.10 along with (9.2.23). As it is shown in [103], we know this problem generates a semigroup SðtÞ on the phase space X ¼ H01 ðXÞ  L2 ðXÞ. However, for any two initial data x1 ; x2 2 X with kxj k  ., we conclude the next only a continuous dependence estimate of the form kSðtÞx1  SðtÞx2 kW  kekt kx1  x2 k for some k ¼ kðqÞ with W ¼ L2 ðXÞ  H 1 ðXÞ. Hence, we can prove the weaker continuity SðtÞ 2 C ðX ; WÞ. On the other hand, lemma 9.2.4 clearly gives the existence of a bounded absorbing set B0 , while lemmas 9.2.7 and 9.2.8 show that SðtÞB0 is (exponentially) attracted by a bounded subset C
H1 , this implies C is a compact attracting set. By theorem 1.2.53, we conclude that there exists a unique compact global attractor A
C. This completes the following theorem. h Theorem 9.2.10. Equation (9.2.1) generates a semigroup SðtÞ on H01 ðXÞ  L2 ðXÞ which has a unique compact global attractor A. Moreover, A is a bounded subset of ½H 2 ðXÞ \ H01 ðXÞH01 ðXÞ, and coincides with unstable set of the stationary points of SðtÞ.
