We study the long-time behavior of solutions of the one dimensional wave equation with nonlinear damping coefficient. We prove that if the damping coefficient function is strictly positive near the origin then this equation possesses a global attractor.
This paper is concerned with long-time dynamics of semilinear wave equations defined on bounded domains of $\mathbb{R}^3$ with cubic nonlinear terms and locally distributed damping. The existence of regular finite-dimensional global attractors established by Chueshov, Lasiecka and Toundykov (2008) reflects a good deal of the current state of the art on this matter. Our contribution is threefold. First, we prove uniform boundedness of attractors with respect to a forcing parameter. Then, we study the continuity of attractors with respect to the parameter in a residual dense set. Finally, we sho…
Dissipative wave equations with critical quintic nonlinearity and damping term involving the fractional Laplacian are considered. The additional regularity of energy solutions is established by constructing the new Lyapunov-type functional and based on this, the global well-posedness and dissipativity of the energy solutions as well as the existence of a smooth global and exponential attractors of finite Hausdorff and fractal dimension is verified.
In this paper dynamic von Karman equations with localized interior damping supported in a boundary collar are considered. Hadamard well-posedness for von Karman plates with various types of nonlinear damping are well-known, and the long-time behavior of nonlinear plates has been a topic of recent interest. Since the von Karman plate system is of "hyperbolic type" with critical nonlinearity (noncompact with respect to the phase space), this latter topic is particularly challenging in the case of geometrically constrained and nonlinear damping. In this paper we first show the existence of a comp…
The work is devoted to Dirichlet problem for sub-quintic semi-linear wave equation with damping damping term of the form $(-Δ)^α\partial_t u$, $α\in(0,\frac{1}{2})$, in bounded smooth domains of $\Bbb R^3$. It appears that to prove well-posedness and develop smooth attractor theory for the problem we need additional regularity of the solutions, which does not follow from the energy estimate. Considering the original problem as perturbation of the linear one the task is reduced to derivation of Strichartz type estimate for the linear wave equation with fractional damping, which is the main feat…
The paper gives a detailed study of long-time dynamics generated by weakly damped wave equations in bounded 3D domains where the damping exponent depends explicitly on time and may change sign. It is shown that in the case when the non-linearity is superlinear, the considered equation remains dissipative if the weighted mean value of the dissipation rate remains positive and that the conditions of this type are not sufficient in the linear case. Two principally different cases are considered. In the case when this mean is uniform (which corresponds to deterministic dissipation rates), it is sh…
In this paper, we first establish a criterion based on contractive function for the existence of polynomial attractors. This criterion only involves some rather weak compactness associated with the repeated limit inferior and requires no compactness, which makes it suitable for critical cases. Then by this abstract theorem, we verify the existence of a polynomial attractor and estimate its attractive speed for the wave equation with nonlocal weak damping, anti-damping and critical nonlinearity.
We consider a nonlinear (Berger or Von Karman) clamped plate model with a {\em piston-theoretic} right hand side---which include non-dissipative, non-conservative lower order terms. The model arises in aeroelasticity when a panel is immersed in a high velocity linear potential flow; in this case the effect of the flow can be captured by a dynamic pressure term written in terms of the material derivative of the plate's displacement. The effect of fully-supported internal damping is studied for both Berger and von Karman dynamics. The non-dissipative nature of the dynamics preclude the use of st…
In this paper the long time behaviour of the solutions of 3-D strongly damped wave equation is studied. It is shown that the semigroup generated by this equation possesses a global attractor in H_{0}^{1}(Ω)\times L_{2}(Ω) and then it is proved that this global attractor is a bounded subset of H^{2}(Ω)\times H^{2}(Ω) and also a global attractor in H^{2}(Ω)\cap H_{0}^{1}(Ω)\times H_{0}^{1}(Ω).
This work is concerned with new results on long-time dynamics of a class of hyperbolic evolution equations related to extensible beams with three distinguished nonlocal nonlinear damping terms. In the first possibly degenerate case, the results feature the existence of a family of compact global attractors and a thickness estimate for their Kolmogorov's $\varepsilon$-entropy. Then, in the non-degenerate context, the structure of the helpful nonlocal damping leads to the existence of finite-dimensional compact global and exponential attractors. Lastly, in a degenerate and critical framework, it…
The long-term behaviour of solutions to a model for acoustic-structure interactions is addressed; the system is comprised of coupled semilinear wave (3D) and plate equations with nonlinear damping and critical sources. The questions of interest are: existence of a global attractor for the dynamics generated by this composite system, as well as dimensionality and regularity of the attractor. A distinct and challenging feature of the problem is the geometrically restricted dissipation on the wave component of the system. It is shown that the existence of a global attractor of finite fractal dime…
In this paper, we investigate the stabilization of a linear Bresse system with one singular local frictional damping acting in the longitudinal displacement, under fully Dirichlet boundary conditions. First, we prove the strong stability of our system. Next, using a frequency domain approach combined with the multiplier method, we establish the exponential stability of the solution if and only if the three waves have the same speed of propagation. On the contrary, we prove that the energy of our system decays polynomially with rates $t^{-1}$ or $t^{-\frac{1}{2}}$.
This paper is concerned with the existence and regularity of global attractor $\mathcal A$ for a Kirchhoff wave equation with strong damping and memory in the weighted time-dependent spaces $\mathcal H$ and $\mathcal H^{1}$, respectively. In order to obtain the existence of $\mathcal A$, we mainly use the energy method in the priori estimations, and then verify the asymptotic compactness of the semigroup by the method of contraction function. Finally, by decomposing the weak solutions into two parts and some elaborate calculations, we prove the regularity of $\mathcal A$.
We study well-posedness and long-time dynamics of a class of quasilinear wave equations with a strong damping. We accept the Kirchhoff hypotheses and assume that the stiffness and damping coefficients are $C^1$ functions of the $L_2$-norm of the gradient of the displacement. We first prove the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions and study their properties for a rather wide class of nonlinearities which covers the case of possible degeneration (or even negativity) of the stiffness coefficient and the case of a supercritical source term. Our main results deal with global attractors. In th…
We consider the family of singularly nonautonomous plate equation with structural damping \[ u_{tt} + a(t,x)u_{t} + (- Δ) u_{t} + (-Δ)^{2} u + λu = f(u), \] in a bounded domain $Ω\subset \R^n$, with Navier boundary conditions. When the nonlinearity $f$ is dissipative we show that this problem is globally well posed in $H^2_0(Ω) \times L^2(Ω)$ and has a family of pullback attractors which is upper-semicontinuous under small perturbations of the damping $a$.
We consider Cauchy problem for the semilinear plate equation with nonlocal nonlinearity. Under mild conditions on the damping coefficient, we prove that the semigroup generated by this problem possesses a global attractor.
This paper is devoted to Bresse systems, a robust model for circular beams, given by a set of three coupled wave equations. The main objective is to establish the existence of global attractors for dynamics of semilinear problems with localized damping. In order to deal with localized damping a unique continuation property (UCP) is needed. Therefore we also provide a suitable UCP for Bresse systems. Our strategy is to set the problem in a Riemannian geometry framework and see the system as a single equation with different Riemann metrics. Then we perform Carleman-type estimates to get our resu…
In this paper, we study the long-time dynamics for the wave equation with nonlocal weak damping and sup-cubic nonlinearity in a bounded smooth domain of $\mathbb{R}^3.$ Based on the Strichartz estimates for the case of bounded domains, we first prove the global well-posedness of the Shatah-Struwe solutions. Then we establish the existence of the global attractor for the Shatah-Struwe solution semigroup by the method of contractive function. Finally, we verify the existence of a polynomial attractor for this semigroup.
This paper is concerned with the long-time dynamical behavior of a piezoelectric system with magnetic effect, which has nonlinear damping terms and external forces with a parameter. At first, we use the nonlinear semigroup theory to prove the well-posedness of solutions. Then, we investigate the properties of global attractors and the existence of exponential attractors. Finally, the upper semicontinuity of global attractors has been investigated.
In this paper, we consider the stabilization of the generalized Rao-Nakra beam equation, which consists of four wave equations for the longitudinal displacements and the shear angle of the top and bottom layers and one Euler-Bernoulli beam equation for the transversal displacement. Dissipative mechanism are provided through viscous damping for two displacements. The location of the viscous damping are divided into two groups, characterized by whether both of the top and bottom layers are directly damped or otherwise. Each group consists of three cases. We obtain the necessary and sufficient co…
In this paper, we first prove an abstract theorem on the existence of polynomial attractors and the concrete estimate of their attractive velocity for infinite-dimensional dynamical systems, then apply this theorem to a class of wave equations with nonlocal weak damping and anti-damping in case that the nonlinear term~$f$~is of subcritical growth.
This paper is devoted to the study of the asymptotic dynamics of the stochastic damped sine-Gordon equation with homogeneous Neumann boundary condition. It is shown that for any positive damping and diffusion coefficients, the equation possesses a random attractor, and when the damping and diffusion coefficients are sufficiently large, the random attractor is a one-dimensional random horizontal curve regardless of the strength of noise. Hence its dynamics is not chaotic. It is also shown that the equation has a rotation number provided that the damping and diffusion coefficients are sufficient…
We study asymptotic dynamics of a coupled system consisting of linearized 3D Navier--Stokes equations in a bounded domain and the classical (nonlinear) elastic plate equation for in-plane motions on a flexible flat part of the boundary. The main peculiarity of the model is the assumption that the transversal displacements of the plate are negligible relative to in-plane displacements. This kind of models arises in the study of blood flows in large arteries. Our main result states the existence of a compact global attractor of finite dimension. We also show that the corresponding linearized sys…
In this paper, a nonlinear axially moving string with the Kelvin-Voigt damping is considered. It is proved that the string is stable, i.e., its transversal displacement converges to zero when the axial speed of the string is less than a certain critical value. The proof is established by showing that a Lyapunov function corresponding to the string decays to zero exponentially. It is also shown that the string displacement is bounded when a bounded distributed force is applied to it transversally. Furthermore, a few open problems regarding the stability and stabilization of strings with the Kel…
We investigate the initial-value problem for the semilinear plate equation containing localized strong damping, localized weak damping and nonlocal nonlinearity. We prove that if nonnegative damping coefficients are strictly positive almost everywhere in the exterior of some ball and the sum of these coefficients is positive a.e. in $% \mathbb{R} ^{n}$, then the semigroup generated by the considered problem possesses a global attractor in $H^{2}\left( \mathbb{R} ^{n}\right) \times L^{2}\left( \mathbb{R} ^{n}\right) $. We also establish boundedness of this attractor in $ H^{3}\left( \mathbb{R} …
This paper is devoted to a long time behavior analysis associated with flow structure interactions at subsonic and supersonic velocities. It turns out that an ntrinsic component of that analysis is the study of attracting sets corresponding to von Karman plate equations with {\it delayed terms} and {\it without rotational} terms. The presence of delay terms in the dynamical system leads to the loss of gradient structure while the absence of rotational terms in von Karman plates leads to the loss of compactness of the orbits. Both these features make the analysis of long time behavior rather su…
In this paper we prove the existence of the global attractor for the wave equation with nonlocal weak damping, nonlocal anti-damping and critical nonlinearity.
In this paper we study the stability problem of a tree of elastic strings with local Kelvin-Voigt damping on some of the edges. Under the compatibility condition of displacement and strain and continuity condition of damping coefficients at the vertices of the tree, exponential/polynomial stability are proved.
The dependence of the fractal dimension of global attractors for the damped 3D Euler--Bardina equations on the regularization parameter $α>0$ and Ekman damping coefficient $γ>0$ is studied. We present explicit upper bounds for this dimension for the case of the whole space, periodic boundary conditions, and the case of bounded domain with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The sharpness of these estimates when $α\to0$ and $γ\to0$ (which corresponds in the limit to the classical Euler equations) is demonstrated on the 3D Kolmogorov flows on a torus.
The paper investigates the existence and upper semicontinuity of uniform attractors of the perturbed non-autonomous Kirchhoff wave equations with strong damping and supercritical nonlinearity: $u_{tt}-Δu_{t}-(1+ε\|\nabla u\|^{2})Δu+f(u)=g(x,t)$, where $ε\in [0,1]$ is a perturbed parameter. It shows that when the nonlinearity $f(u)$ is of supercritical growth $p: \frac{N+2}{N-2}=p^*<p<p^{**}=\frac{N+4}{(N-4)^+}$: (i) the related evolution process has a compact uniform attractor $\mathcal{A}_\ls^\e $ for each $ε\in [0,1]$; (ii) the family of uniform attractor $\mathcal{A}_\ls^\e $ is upper semic…
We prove the existence of the global attractor in $ \dot H^s$, $s > 11/12$ for the weakly damped and forced mKdV on the one dimensional torus. The existence of global attractor below the energy space has not been known, though the global well-posedness below the energy space is established. We directly apply the I-method to the damped and forced mKdV, because the Miura transformation does not work for the mKdV with damping and forcing terms. We need to make a close investigation into the trilinear estimates involving resonant frequencies, which are different from the bilinear estimates corresp…
We derive upper bounds for the number of asymptotic degrees (determining modes and nodes) of freedom for the two-dimensional Navier--Stokes system and Navier-Stokes system with damping. In the first case we obtain the previously known estimates in an explicit form, which are larger than the fractal dimension of the global attractor. However, for the Navier--Stokes system with damping our estimates for the number of the determining modes and nodes are comparable to the sharp estimates for the fractal dimension of the global attractor. Our investigation of the damped-driven 2D Navier--Stokes sys…
We study the global attractors for the damped 3D Euler--Bardina equations with the regularization parameter $α>0$ and Ekman damping coefficient $γ>0$ endowed with periodic boundary conditions as well as their damped Euler limit $α\to0$. We prove that despite the possible non-uniqueness of solutions of the limit Euler system and even the non-existence of such solutions in the distributional sense, the limit dynamics of the corresponding dissipative solutions introduced by P.\,Lions can be described in terms of attractors of the properly constructed trajectory dynamical system. Moreover, the con…
In this paper, we consider the Majda-Biello system, a coupled KdV-type system, on the torus. In the first part of the paper, it is shown that, given initial data in a Sobolev space, the difference between the linear and the nonlinear evolution almost always resides in a smoother space. The smoothing index depends on number-theoretic properties of the coupling parameter in the system which control the behavior of the resonant sets. In the second part of the paper, we consider the forced and damped version of the system and obtain similar smoothing estimates. These estimates are used to show the…
This work is devoted to infinite-energy solutions of semi-linear wave equations in unbounded smooth domains of $\mathbb{R}^3$ with fractional damping of the form $(-Δ_x+1)^\frac{1}{2}\partial_t u$. The work extends previously known results for bounded domains in finite energy case. Furthermore, well-posedness and existence of locally-compact smooth attractors for the critical quintic non-linearity are obtained under less restrictive assumptions on non-linearity, relaxing some artificial technical conditions used before. This is achieved by virtue of new type Lyapunov functional that allows to …
We establish a smoothing result for the generalized KdV (gKdV) on the torus with polynomial non-linearity, damping, and forcing that matches the smoothing level for the gKdV at $H^1$. As a consequence, we establish the existence of a global attractor for this equation as well as its compactness in $H^s(\mathbb{T})$, $s\in (1,2).$
We study asymptotic dynamics of a coupled system consisting of linearized 3D Navier--Stokes equations in a bounded domain and a classical (nonlinear) elastic plate equation for transversal displacement on a flexible flat part of the boundary. We show that this problem generates a semiflow on appropriate phase space. Our main result states the existence of a compact finite-dimensional global attractor for this semiflow. We do not assume any kind of mechanical damping in the plate component. Thus our results means that dissipation of the energy in the fluid due to viscosity is sufficient to stab…
In this paper, we consider a damped Navier-Stokes-Bardina model posed on the whole three-dimensional. These equations have an important physical motivation and they arise from some oceanic model. From the mathematical point of view, they write down as the well-know Navier-Stokes equations with an additional nonlocal operator in their nonlinear transport term, and moreover, with an additional damping term depending of a parameter $β>0$. We study first the existence and uniqueness of global in time weak solutions in the energy space. Thereafter, our main objective is to describe the long time be…
In this work, we study continuity and topological structural stability of attractors for nonautonomous random differential equations obtained by small bounded random perturbations of autonomous semilinear problems. First, we study existence and permanence of unstable sets of hyperbolic solutions. Then, we use this to establish lower semicontinuity of nonautonomous random attractors and to show that the gradient structure persists under nonautonomous random perturbations. Finally, we apply the abstract results in a stochastic differential equation and in a damped wave equation with a perturbati…
The long time behavior of Wong-Zakai approximations of 2D as well as 3D non-autonomous stochastic convective Brinkman-Forchheimer (CBF) equations with non-linear diffusion terms on bounded and unbounded ($\mathbb{R}^d$ for $d=2,3$) domains is discussed in this work. To establish the existence of random pullback attractors, the concept of asymptotic compactness (AC) is used. In bounded domains, AC is proved via compact Sobolev embeddings. In unbounded domains, due to the lack of compact embeddings, the ideas of energy equations and uniform tail estimates are exploited to prove AC. In the litera…
The Bresse system is a valid model for arched beams which reduces to the classical Timoshenko system when the arch curvature $\ell=0$. Our first result shows the Timoshenko system as a singular limit of the Bresse system as $\ell \to 0$. The remaining results are concerned with the long-time dynamics of Bresse systems. In a general framework, allowing nonlinear damping and forcing terms, we prove the existence of a smooth global attractor with finite fractal dimension and exponential attractors as well. We also compare the Bresse system with the Timoshenko system, in the sense of upper semicon…
We study the Euler equations with the so-called Ekman damping in the whole 2D space. The global well-posedness and dissipativity for the weak infinite energy solutions of this problem in the uniformly local spaces is verified based on the further development of the weighted energy theory for the Navier-Stokes and Euler type problems. In addition, the existence of weak locally compact global attractor is proved and some extra compactness of this attractor is obtained.
