The authors consider non-autonomous dynamical behavior of wave-type evolutionary equations with nonlinear damping and critical nonlinearity. These type of waves equations are formulated as non-autonomous dynamical systems (namely, cocycles). A sufficient and necessary condition for the existence of pullback attractors is established for norm-to-weak continuous non-autonomous dynamical systems, in terms of pullback asymptotic compactness or pullback $κ-$contraction criteria. A technical method for verifying pullback asymptotic compactness, via contractive functions, is devised. These results are then applied to the wave-type evolutionary equations with nonlinear damping and critical nonlinearity, to obtain the existence of pullback attractors. The required pullback asymptotic compactness for the existence of pullback attractors is fulfilled by some new a priori estimates for concrete wave type equations arising from applications. Moreover, the pullback $κ-$contraction criterion for the existence of pullback attractors is of independent interest.
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 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 dynamical behavior of non-autonomous wave-type evolutionary equations with nonlinear damping, critical nonlinearity, and time-dependent external forcing which is translation bounded but not translation compact (i.e., external forcing is not necessarily time-periodic, quasi-periodic or almost periodic). A sufficient and necessary condition for the existence of uniform attractors is established using the concept of uniform asymptotic compactness. The required compactness for the existence of uniform attractors is then fulfilled by some new a priori estimates for concrete wave type eq…
In this paper, we prove the existences of pullback attractors in $L^{p}(\mathbb{R}^N)\times L^{2}(\mathbb{R}^N)$ for stochastic Fitzhugh-Nagumo system driven by both additive noises and deterministic non-autonomous forcings. The nonlinearity is polynomial like growth with exponent $p-1$. The asymptotic compactness for the cocycle in $L^{p}(\mathbb{R}^N)\times L^{2}(\mathbb{R}^N)$ is proved by using asymptotic a priori method, where the plus and minus signs of the nonlinearity at large value are not required.
We consider several models (including both multidimensional ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and partial differential equations (PDEs), possibly ill-posed), subject to very strong damping and quasi-periodic external forcing. We study the existence of response solutions (i.e., quasi-periodic solutions with the same frequency as the forcing). Under some regularity assumptions on the nonlinearity and forcing, without any arithmetic condition on the forcing frequency $ω$, we show that the response solutions indeed exist. Moreover, the solutions we obtained possess optimal regularity in $\var…
The paper deals with the problem of existence of a convergent "strong" normal form in the neighbourhood of an equilibrium, for a finite dimensional system of differential equations with analytic and time-dependent non-linear term. The problem can be solved either under some non-resonance hypotheses on the spectrum of the linear part or if the non-linear term is assumed to be (slowly) decaying in time. This paper "completes" a pioneering work of Pustil'nikov in which, despite under weaker non-resonance hypotheses, the nonlinearity is required to be asymptotically autonomous. The result is obtai…
A variety of physical phenomena involve the nonlinear transfer of energy from weakly damped modes subjected to external forcing to other modes which are more heavily damped. In this work we explore this in (finite-dimensional) stochastic differential equations in $\mathbb R^n$ with a quadratic, conservative nonlinearity $B(x,x)$ and a linear damping term $-Ax$ which is degenerate in the sense that $\mathrm{ker} A \neq \emptyset$. We investigate sufficient conditions to deduce the existence of a stationary measure for the associated Markov semigroups. Existence of such measures is straightforwa…
We consider a family of non-autonomous reaction-diffusion equations with almost periodic, rapidly oscillating principal part and nonlinear interactions. As the frequency of the oscillations tends to infinity, we prove that the solutions of the non-autonomous equations converge to the solutions of the autonomous averaged equation. If the nonlinearity is dissipative, we prove existence of compact attractors and their upper-semicontinuity at infinity.
This paper considers the growth rates of positive solutions of scalar nonlinear functional and Volterra differential equations. The equations are assumed to be autonomous (or asymptotically so), and the nonlinear dependence grows less rapidly than any linear function. We impose extra regularity properties on a function asymptotic to this nonlinear function, rather than on the nonlinearity itself. The main result of the paper demonstrates that the growth rate of the solution can be found by determining the rate of growth of a trivial functional differential equation (FDE) with the same nonlinea…
In a Hilbert space $H$, in order to develop fast optimization methods, we analyze the asymptotic behavior, as time $t$ tends to infinity, of inertial continuous dynamics where the damping acts as a closed-loop control. The function $f: H \to R$ to be minimized (not necessarily convex) enters the dynamic through it gradient, which is assumed to be Lipschitz continuous on the bounded subsets of $H$. This gives autonomous dynamical systems with nonlinear damping and nonlinear driving force. We first consider the case where the damping term $\partial ϕ(\dot{x}(t))$ acts as a closed-loop control of…
This paper deals with the multivalued non-autonomous random dynamical system generated by the non-autonomous stochastic wave equations on unbounded domains, which has a non-Lipschitz nonlinearity with critical exponent in the three dimensional case. We introduce the concept of weak upper semicontinuity of multivalued functions and use such continuity to prove the measurability of multivalued functions from a metric space to a separable Banach space. By this approach, we show the measurability of pullback attractors of the multivalued random dynamical system of the wave equations regardless of …
Recent equations of motion for the large deflections of a cantilevered elastic beam are analyzed. In the traditional theory of beam (and plate) large deflections, nonlinear restoring forces are due to the effect of stretching on bending; for an inextensible cantilever, the enforcement of arc-length preservation leads to quasilinear stiffness effects and inertial effects that are both nonlinear and nonlocal. For this model, smooth solutions are constructed via a spectral Galerkin approach. Additional compactness is needed to pass to the limit, and this is obtained through a complex procession o…
The present paper addresses the swing equation with additional delayed damping as an example for pendulum-like systems. In this context, it is proved that recurring sub- and supercritical Hopf bifurcations occur if time delay is increased. To this end, a general formula for the first Lyapunov coefficient in second order systems with additional delayed damping and delay-free nonlinearity is given. In so far the paper extends results about stability switching of equilibria in linear time delay systems from Cooke and Grossman. In addition to the analytical results, periodic solutions are numerica…
