A modified strong squeezing property and the existence of inertial manifolds of semiflows
A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of an exponential attractor
We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of an exponential attractor. The condition is formulated in the context of metric spaces. It also captures the quantitative properties of the attractor, i.e., the dimension and the rate of attraction. As an application, we show that the evolution operator for the wave equation with nonlinear damping has an exponential attractor.
