Asymptotics for the minimization of a Ginzburg-Landau energy in n dimensions

Paweł Strzelecki (1996)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We prove that minimizers u W 1 , n of the functional E ( u ) = 1 / n | u | n d x + 1 / ( 4 n ) ( 1 - | u | 2 ) 2 d x , ⊂ n , n ≥ 3, which satisfy the Dirichlet boundary condition u = g on for g: → S n - 1 with zero topological degree, converge in W 1 , n and C l o c α for any α<1 - upon passing to a subsequence k 0 - to some minimizing n-harmonic map. This is a generalization of an earlier result obtained for n=2 by Bethuel, Brezis, and Hélein. An example of nonunique asymptotic behaviour (which cannot occur in two dimensions if deg g = 0) is presented.

Asymptotics of parabolic equations with possible blow-up

Radosław Czaja (2004)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We describe the long-time behaviour of solutions of parabolic equations in the case when some solutions may blow up in a finite or infinite time. This is done by providing a maximal compact invariant set attracting any initial data for which the corresponding solution does not blow up. The abstract result is applied to the Frank-Kamenetskii equation and the N-dimensional Navier-Stokes system with small external force.

Asymptotics of sums of subcoercive operators

Nick Dungey, A. ter Elst, Derek Robinson (1999)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We examine the asymptotic, or large-time, behaviour of the semigroup kernel associated with a finite sum of homogeneous subcoercive operators acting on a connected Lie group of polynomial growth. If the group is nilpotent we prove that the kernel is bounded by a convolution of two Gaussians whose orders correspond to the highest and lowest orders of the homogeneous subcoercive components of the generator. Moreover we establish precise asymptotic estimates on the difference of the kernel and the...

Attractor of a semi-discrete Benjamin-Bona-Mahony equation on ℝ¹

Chaosheng Zhu (2015)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

This paper is concerned with the study of the large time behavior and especially the regularity of the global attractor for the semi-discrete in time Crank-Nicolson scheme to discretize the Benjamin-Bona-Mahony equation on ℝ¹. Firstly, we prove that this semi-discrete equation provides a discrete infinite-dimensional dynamical system in H¹(ℝ¹). Then we prove that this system possesses a global attractor τ in H¹(ℝ¹). In addition, we show that the global attractor τ is regular, i.e., τ is actually...

Attractors for general operators

Alain Miranville (2003)

Applications of Mathematics

In this article we introduce the notion of a minimal attractor for families of operators that do not necessarily form semigroups. We then obtain some results on the existence of the minimal attractor. We also consider the nonautonomous case. As an application, we obtain the existence of the minimal attractor for models of Cahn-Hilliard equations in deformable elastic continua.

Attractors for stochastic reaction-diffusion equation with additive homogeneous noise

Jakub Slavík (2021)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We study the asymptotic behaviour of solutions of a reaction-diffusion equation in the whole space d driven by a spatially homogeneous Wiener process with finite spectral measure. The existence of a random attractor is established for initial data in suitable weighted L 2 -space in any dimension, which complements the result from P. W. Bates, K. Lu, and B. Wang (2013). Asymptotic compactness is obtained using elements of the method of short trajectories.
