This book provides an exhaustive introduction to the scope
of main ideas and methods of the
theory of infinite-dimensional dissipative dynamical systems which
has been rapidly developing in recent years. In the examples
systems generated by nonlinear
partial differential equations
arising in the different problems
of modern mechanics of continua
are considered. The main goal
of the book is to help the reader
to master the basic strategies used
in the study of infinite-dimensional
dissipative systems and to qualify
him/her for an independent scientific research in the given branch.
Experts in nonlinear dynamics will
find many fundamental facts in the
convenient and practical form
in this book.
The core of the book is composed of the courses given by the
author at the Department
of Mechanics and Mathematics
at Kharkov University during
a number of years. This book contains a large number of exercises
which make the main text more
complete. It is sufficient to know
the fundamentals of functional
analysis and ordinary differential
equations to read the book.

In this chapter we use the ideas and the results of Chapters 1 and 3 to study in
details the asymptotic behaviour of a class of problems arising in the nonlinear theory of oscillations of distributed parameter systems. The main object is the following
second order in time equation in a separable Hilbert space H :

where A is a positive operator with discrete spectrum in H , M ( s ) is a real function
(its properties are described below), L is a linear operator in H , p ( t ) is a given
bounded function with the values in H , and g is a nonnegative parameter. The
problem of type (0.1) and (0.2) arises in the study of nonlinear oscillations of a plate
in the supersonic flow of gas. For example, in Berger’s approach (see [1, 2]), the dynamics of a plate can be described by the following quasilinear partial differential
equation:

u ¶ W = Du ¶ W = 0 ,
u t = 0 = u0 ( x ) ,
(0.3)
t >0
¶t u
t=0
= u1 ( x ) .
(0.4)
Here D is the Laplace operator in the domain W ; g > 0 , r ³ 0 , and G are constants; and p ( x , t ) , u0 ( x ) , and u1 ( x ) are given functions. Equations (0.3)–(0.4)
describe nonlinear oscillations of a plate occupying the domain W on a plane which
is located in a supersonic gas flow moving along the x1 -axis. The aerodynamic pressure on the plate is taken into account according to Ilyushin’s “piston” theory (see,
e. g., [3]) and is described by the term r ¶x1 u . The parameter r is determined by
the velocity of the flow. The function u ( x , t ) measures the plate deflection at the
point x and the moment t . The boundary conditions imply that the edges of the
plate are hinged. The function p ( x , t ) describes the transverse load on the plate.
The parameter G is proportional to the value of compressive force acting in the
plane of the plate. The value g takes into account the environment resistance.
Our choice of problem (0.1) and (0.2) as the base example is conditioned by the
following circumstances. First, using this model we can avoid significant technical
difficulties to demonstrate the main steps of reasoning required to construct a solution and to prove the existence of a global attractor for a nonlinear evolutionary second order in time partial differential equation. Second, a study of the limit regimes
of system (0.3)–(0.4) is of practical interest. The point is that the most important
(from the point of view of applications) type of instability which can be found in the
system under consideration is the flutter, i.e. autooscillations of a plate subjected to

aerodynamical loads. The modern look on the flutter instability of a plate is the following: there arises the Andronov-Hopf bifurcation leading to the appearance of
a stable limit cycle in the system. However, there are experimental and numerical
data that enable us to conjecture that an increase in flow velocity may result in the
complication of the dynamics and appearance of chaotic fluctuations [4]. Therefore,
the study of the existence and properties of the attractor of the given problem
enables us to better understand the mechanism of appearance of a nonlinear flutter.

§1
Spaces
As above (see Chapter 2), we use the scale of spaces Fs generated by a positive operator A with discrete spectrum acting in a separable Hilbert space H . We remind
(see Section 2.1) that the space Fs is defined by the equation
ì
Fs º D ( A s ) = í v :

where { e k } is the orthonormal basis of the eigenelements of the operator A in H ,
l 1 £ l2 £ ¼ are the corresponding eigenvalues and s is a real parameter
(for s = 0 we have Fs = H and for s < 0 the space Fs should be treated as a class
of formal series). The norm in Fs is given by the equality
¥
v s2 =

for

k=1
Further we use the notation L2 ( 0 , T ; Fs ) for the set of measurable functions
on the segment [ 0 , T ] with the values in the space Fs such that the norm

is finite. The notation L p ( 0 , T ; X ) has a similar meaning for 1 £ p £ ¥ .
We remind that a function u(t) with the values in a separable Hilbert space H
is said to be Bochner measurable on a segment [ 0 , T ] if it is a limit of a sequence of functions
N
uN ( t ) =

N, k

for almost all t Î [ 0 , T ] , where uN , k are elements of H and cN , k ( t ) are the characteristic functions of the pairwise disjoint Lebesgue measurable sets AN , k . One
Spaces
can prove (see, e.g., the book by K. Yosida [5]) that for separable Hilbert spaces under consideration a function u ( t ) is measurable if and only if the scalar function
( u ( t ) , h ) H is measurable for every h Î H . Furthermore, a function u ( t ) is said
to be Bochner integrable over [ 0 , T ] if

where { uN ( t ) } is a sequence of simple functions defined above. The integral of the

where c S ( t ) is the characteristic function of the set S and the integral of a simple
function in the right-hand side of the equality is defined in an obvious way.
For the function with the values in Hilbert spaces most facts of the ordinary Lebesgue integration theory remain true.
E x e r c i s e 1.1 Let u ( t ) be a function on [ 0 , T ] with the values in a separable Hilbert space H . If there exists a sequence of measurable functions un ( t ) such that un ( t ) ® u ( t ) almost everywhere, then u ( t )

Auxiliary Linear Problem
Here A is a positive operator with discrete spectrum. The vectors h ( t ) , u 0 , u1
as well as the scalar function b ( t ) are given (for the corresponding hypotheses see
the assertion of Theorem 2.1).
The main results of this section are the proof of the theorem on the existence
and uniqueness of weak solutions to problem (2.1) and (2.2) and the construction
of the evolutionary operator for the system when h ( t ) º 0 . In fact, the approach we
use here is well-known (see, e.g., [6] and [7]).
A weak solution to problem (2.1) and (2.2) on a segment [ 0 , T ] is a function u ( t ) Î WT such that u ( 0 ) = u 0 and the equation

Proof.
We use the compactness method to prove this theorem. At first we construct approximate solutions to problem (2.1) and (2.2). The approximate Galerkin solution

the function

(2.8)
j = 1 , 2 , ¼ , m . (2.9)
Here gk ( t ) Î C 1 ( 0 , T ) and g· k ( t ) is absolutely continuous. Due to the orthogonality
of the basis { e k } equations (2.8) and (2.9) can be rewritten as a system of ordinary
differential equations:
g··k + g g· k + l k2 gk - b ( t ) l k gk = hk ( t ) º ( h ( t ) , e k ) e,
gk ( 0 ) = ( u 0 , ek ) ,
g· k ( 0 ) = ( u 1 , ek ) ,

Auxiliary Linear Problem
Proof.
Problem (2.10) is solvable at least locally, i.e. there exists t such that a solution exists on the half-interval [ 0 , t ) . Let us prove estimate (2.11) for the interval of existence of solution. To do that, we multiply equation (2.10) by g· ( t ) .
As a result, we obtain that
d

--- ----- ( g· 2 + a 2 g 2 ) + g g· 2 = a b ( t ) g g· + c ( t ) g· .

We integrate this equality and use the equations

This and Gronwall’s lemma give us (2.11).
In particular, estimate (2.11) enables us to prove that the solution g ( t ) can
be extended on a segment [ 0 , T ] of arbitrary length. Indeed, let us assume the
contrary. Then there exists a point t such that the solution can not be extended
through it. Therewith equation (2.11) implies that
g· ( t ) 2 + a 2 g ( t ) 2 £ C ( T ; g0 , g1) ,
0 < t < t < T.
Therefore, (2.10) gives us that the derivative g·· ( t ) is bounded on [ 0 , t ) .
Hence, the values
t
g· ( t ) = g0 +
ò
t
g·· ( t ) dt ,

g ( t ) = g0 +

are continuous up to the point t . If we now apply the local theorem on existence to system (2.10) with the initial conditions at the point t that are equal to
g ( t ) and g· ( t ) , then we obtain that the solution can be extended through t .
This contradiction implies that the solution g ( t ) exists on an arbitrary segment
[0, T ] .
Let us prove estimate (2.13). To do that, we consider the function

Here we treat the equality as an equality of elements in F-1 .
(Hint: use the results of Exercises 2.1 and 2.1.3).
E x e r c i s e 2.6 Let u ( t ) be a weak solution to problem (2.1) and (2.2) constructed in Theorem 2.1. Then the function u· ( t ) is absolutely continuous as a vector-function with the values in F-1 while the derivative u·· ( t ) belongs to the space L ¥ ( 0 , T ; F-1 ) . Moreover, the function
u ( t ) satisfies equation (2.1) if we treat it as an equality of elements
in F-1 for almost all t Î [ 0 , T ] .
In particular, the result of Exercise 2.6 shows that a weak solution satisfies equation
(2.1) in a stronger sense then (2.4).
We also note that the assertions of Theorem 2.1 and Exercises 2.4–2.6 with the
corresponding changes remain true if the initial condition is given at any other moment t0 which is not equal to zero.
Now we consider the case h ( t ) º 0 and construct the evolutionary operator of problem (2.1) and (2.2). To do that, let us consider the family of spaces
Hs = F1 + s ´ Fs ,
s ³ 0.
Every space Hs is a set of pairs y = ( u ; v ) such that u Î F 1 + s and v Î Fs .
We define the inner product in Hs by the formula

The boundedness property of the operator U ( t ; t ) follows from (2.22). Let us prove
relations (2.22) and (2.23). It is sufficient to consider the case t = 0 . According

The nonlinear terms of this system are continuously differentiable with respect to

a priori estimate of a solution as in the linear problem. Let us prove this estimate.
We consider an approximate solution u m ( t ) to problem (0.1) and (0.2) on the
solvability interval ( 0 , t ) . It satisfies equations (3.8) and (3.9) on the interval

Thus, every weak limit point u ( t ) of the sequence of Galerkin approximations { um }

Theorem on Existence and Uniqueness of Solutions
In conclusion of the section we note that in case of stationary load p ( t ) º p Î H we
can construct an evolutionary operator St of problem (0.1) and (0.2) in the space

for y = ( u0 , u1 ) , where u ( t ) is a weak solution to problem (0.1) and (0.2) with the

By virtue of (3.20) the nonlinear mapping St is a continuous mapping of H . Equation (3.5) implies that the vector-function St y is strongly continuous with respect

Smoothness of Solutions
In the study of smoothness properties of solutions constructed in Section 3 we use
some ideas presented in paper [9]. The main result of this section is the following assertion.
Theorem 4.1
Let the hypotheses of Theorem 3.1 hold. We assume that M ( z ) Î

for a weak solution u ( t ) to problem (0.1) and (0.2) to possess the properties

u ( k ) ( t ) Î C ( 0 , T ; F2 ) ,
k = 0, 1, 2, ¼, l - 1 ,
u ( l ) ( t ) Î C ( 0 , T ; F1 ) ,
u( l + 1 ) ( t ) Î C ( 0 , T ; F0 ) ,
(4.1)
it is necessary and sufficient that the following compatibility conditions
are fulfilled:
u ( k ) ( 0 ) Î F2 ,
k = 0, 1, 2, ¼, l - 1 ;
u( l) ( 0 ) Î F1 .
(4.2)
u(j) (t )
Here
is a strong derivative of the function u ( t ) with respect to t
of the order j and the values u ( k ) ( 0 ) are recurrently defined by the initial
conditions u0 and u1 with the help of equation (0.1)::
u(0) ( 0 ) = u0 ,
u( 1 ) ( 0 ) = u1 ,

Proof.
It is evident that if a solution u ( t ) possesses properties (4.1) then compatibility
conditions (4.2) are fulfilled. Let us prove that conditions (4.2) are sufficient for
equations (4.1) to be satisfied. We start with the case l = 1 . The compatibility conditions have the form: u0 Î F2 , u 1 Î F 1 . As in the proof of Theorem 3.1 we consider
the Galerkin approximation

u· m ( 0 ) = pm u1 ,
where pm is the orthoprojector onto the span of elements e1 , ¼ em . The structure
of equation (3.10) implies that um ( t ) Î C 2 ( 0 , T ; F2 ) . We differentiate equation
(4.4) with respect to t to obtain that vm ( t ) = u· m ( t ) satisfies the equation
v··m + g v· m + A2 vm + M æ A1 ¤ 2 um 2ö Avm + pm L vm =

and the initial conditions

It is clear that

where u ( 2 ) ( 0 ) is defined by (4.3). Therefore,
vm ( 0 ) - pm u ( 2 ) ( 0 )
£ C ( u0 1 ) u0 - pm u 0 .

The compatibility conditions give us that u0 Î F 2 and hence u ( 2 ) ( 0 ) Î F 0 . Thus,
the initial condition v· m ( 0 ) possesses the property
v· m ( 0 ) - u ( 2 ) ( 0 ) ® 0 ,
m ® ¥.

We multiply (4.5) by vm ( t ) scalarwise in H to find that

(4.10)
Au· m ( t ) 2 + u·· m ( t ) 2 £ C T ,

(4.11)
Consequently,
Equation (4.4) gives us that
A2 u m ( t ) £ u·· m( t ) + g u· m ( t ) + M ( A1 ¤ 2 um( t ) 2 ) Au m ( t ) + L um( t ) + p ( t ) .
Therefore, (3.14) and (4.11) imply that

(4.12)
Thus, the sequence { u m ( t ) } of approximate solutions to problem (0.1) and (0.2)
possesses the properties (cf. Exercise 3.7):

u· ( t ) = w ( t ) Î C ( 0 , T ; D ( A ) ) Ç C 1 ( 0 , T ; H ) .
This implies equation (4.1) for l = 1 .
Further arguments are based on the following assertion.

(4.17)
u ( t ) Î C ( 0 , T ; F2 ) Ç C1 ( 0 , T ; F1 ) Ç C2 ( 0 , T ; F0 )
and the function v ( t ) = u· ( t ) is a weak solution to the problem obtained
by the formal differentiation of (4.16) with respect to t and equiped
with the initial conditions v ( 0 ) = u1 and v· ( 0 ) = u·· ( 0 ) º - ( g u1 + A2 u0 +
+ b ( 0 ) Au0 - h ( 0 ) ) .
Proof.
Let u m ( t ) be the Galerkin approximation of the order m of a solution to
problem (4.16) (see (2.7)). It is clear that um ( t ) is thrice differentiable with respect to t and vm ( t ) = u· m ( t ) satisfies the equation
·
v··m + g v· m + A2 vm + b ( t ) Avm = - b ( t ) Au m + pm h ( t ) ,
t > 0,
and the initial conditions
vm ( 0 ) = pm u1 ,
v· m ( 0 ) = -pm ( g u 1 + A2 u0 + b ( 0 ) Au 0 - h ( 0 ) ) .
Therefore, as above, it is easy to prove the validity of equations (4.10)–(4.14)
for the case under consideration and complete the proof of Lemma 4.1.

the space H , differentiable along the trajectories of system (0.1) and (0.2), and
such that

(5.5)
where a , b > 0 and D 1 , D 2 ³ 0 are constants. To construct the functional V ( y )
we use the method which is widely-applied for finite-dimensional systems (we used
it in the proof of estimate (2.13)).
Let
V(y) = E (y) + n F(y) ,
where y = ( u0 ; u 1 ) Î H . Here E ( y ) = E ( u 0 ; u 1 ) is the energy of system (0.1)
and (0.2) defined by the formula (3.7),

.
For 0 < n < g this implies estimate (5.4) and the inequality
V ( y ) £ b1 E ( y ) + b2
(5.6)
with the constants b1 , b2 > 0 independent of n . This inequality guarantees the
boundedness of V ( y ) on the bounded sets of the space H .
Energy equality (3.6) implies that the function E ( y ( t ) ) , where y ( t ) = St y , is
continuously differentiable and
d
----- E ( y ( t ) ) = - g u· ( t ) 2 + ( -L u ( t ) + p , u· ( t ) ) .

Therefore, due to (5.3) we have that
g
d---E ( y ( t ) ) £ - --- u· 2 + C1 Aq u 2 + C 2 .

We use interpolation inequalities (see Exercises 2.1.12 and 2.1.13) to obtain that
Aq u 2 £ d Au 2 + C d A1 ¤ 2 u 2 ,

Thus, the estimate

(5.7)
holds for any e > 0 .
Lemma 5.1
Let u ( t ) be a weak solution to problem (0.1) and (0.2) and let y ( t ) =
= ( u ( t ) , u· ( t ) ) . Then the function F ( y ( t ) ) is continuously differentiable and
d---F ( y ( t ) ) = u· ( t ) 2 + ( u·· ( t ) + g u· ( t ) , u ( t ) ) .

(5.8)
We note that since u·· ( t ) Î C ( R + , F-1 ) (see Exercise 3.6), equation (5.8) is correctly defined.
Proof.

The Problem on Nonlinear Oscillations of a Plate in a Supersonic Gas Flow
Let pl be the orthoprojector onto the span of elements { e k , k = 1 , 2 , ¼ , l } in
F0 . Then it is evident that the vector-function ul ( t ) = pl u ( t ) is twice continuously differentiable with respect to t . Therefore,

The properties of the projector p l (see Exercise 2.1.11) enable us to pass to

where d > 0 and

Therefore, for any 0 < n < g ¤ 2 estimate (5.5) holds, provided d and e are chosen

(5.11)
Due to the compactness of the embedding of Hs in H for s > 0 , this theorem and
Lemma 1.4.1 imply that the dynamical system ( H , St ) is asymptotically compact.
Proof.
Since the system ( H , St ) is dissipative, there exists R > 0 such that for all
y Î B and t ³ t0 = t0 ( B )
u· ( t ) 2 + Au ( t ) 2 £ R 2 ,
(5.12)
where u ( t ) is a weak solution to problem (0.1) and (0.2) with the initial conditions
y = ( u0 ; u1 ) Î B . We consider u ( t ) as a solution to linear problem (2.1) and (2.2)
with b ( t ) = M ( A1 ¤ 2 u ( t ) 2 ) and h ( t ) = - L u ( t ) + p . It is easy to verify that b ( t ) is a
continuously differentiable function and
·
b ( t ) + b ( t ) £ CR ,
t ³ t0 .
Moreover, equation (2.27) implies that
St y = U ( t , t0 ) y ( t 0 ) + G ( t , t0 ; y ) ,

Here U ( t , t ) is the evolutionary operator of the homogeneous problem (2.1) and

exists N0 ³ 0 such that

Let K s = g + ( Bs ) º Èt ³ 0 St ( Bs ) . Evidently equation (5.11) is valid. Moreover, K s
is positively invariant. The continuity of St y with recpect to the both variables
( t ; y ) in the space H (see Exercise 3.8) and attraction property (5.17) imply that
K s is a closed set in H . Let us prove that Ks is bounded in Hs . First we note that
K s is bounded in H . Indeed, by virtue of the dissipativity we have that St y £ R
for all y Î Bs and t ³ ts º t ( Bs ) . Since S t y is continuous with respect to the variables ( t ; y ) , its maximum is attained on the compact [ 0 , ts ] ´ Bs . Thus, there exists
R > 0 such that y £ R for all y Î Ks . Let us return to equality (5.16) for t0 = 0
and y0 Î Bs . It is evident that the norm of the right-hand side in the space Hs
is bounded by the constant C = C ( s , R ) . However, equation (5.14) implies that

Dissipativity and Asymptotic Compactness
Let us consider the dissipativity properties of smooth solutions (see Section 4) to
problem (0.1) and (0.2).
Theorem 5.3
Let the hypotheses of Theorem 5.1 hold. Assume that M ( z ) Î C l + 1 ( R+ )
and the initial conditions y0 = ( u0 ; u1 ) are such that equations (4.1) (and
hence (4.2))) are valid for the solution ( u ( t ) ; u· ( t ) ) = St y0 . Then there exists
Rl > 0 such that for any initial data y0 = ( u0 ; u1 ) possessing the property
u ( k + 1 ) ( 0 ) 2 + Au ( k ) ( 0 ) 2 + A2 u ( k - 1 ) ( 0 ) 2 < r 2 ,
k = 1 , 2 , ¼ , l , (5.18)
the solution ( u ( t ) ; u· ( t ) ) = St y0 admits the estimate
u ( k + 1 ) ( t ) 2 + Au( k ) ( t ) 2 + A2 u ( k - 1 ) ( t ) 2 < Rl2
(5.19)
for all k = 1 , 2 , ¼ , l as soon as t ³ t0 ( r ) .
We use induction to prove the theorem. The proof is based on the following assertion.
Lemma 5.2
Assume that the hypotheses of Theorem 5.3 hold for l = 1 . Then the dynamical system ( H1 , St ) generated by problem (0.1) and (0.2) in the
space H1 = F 2 ´ F1 is dissipative.
Proof.
Let ( u ( t ) ; u· ( t ) ) = St y 0 be a semitrajectory of the dynamical system
( H1 , St ) and let y0 = ( u0 ; u1 ) Î H1 = F2 ´ F1 . If the hypotheses of the lemma hold, then the function w ( t ) = u· ( t ) is a weak solution to problem (4.15) obtained by formal differentiation of (0.1) with respect to t (as we have shown in
Section 4). By virtue of Theorem 2.1 the energy equality of the form (2.6) holds
for the function w ( t ) . We rewrite it in the differential form:
d
----- F ( t ; w ( t ) , w· ( t ) ) + g w· ( t ) 2 = Y ( u ( t ) , w ( t ) ) ,

In order to complete the proof of Theorem 5.3, we should note first that Lemma 5.2

Global Attractor and Inertial Sets
The above given properties of the evolutionary operator St generated by problem
(0.1) and (0.2) in the case of stationary load p ( t ) º p enable us to apply the general assertions proved in Chapter 1 (see also [10]).
Theorem 6.1
Assume that conditions (3.2),, (5.2),, (5.3),, and (5.10) are fulfilled. Then
the dynamical system ( H , St ) generated by problem (0.1) and (0.2) possesses a global attractor A of a finite fractal dimension. This attractor is
a connected compact set in H and is bounded in the space Hs = F 1+ s ´ Fs ,
where s > 0 is defined by condition (5.10)..
Proof.
By virtue of Theorems 5.1, 5.2, and 1.5.1 we should prove only the finite dimensionality of the attractor. The corresponding reasoning is based on Theorem 1.8.1
and the following assertions.
Lemma 6.1.
Assume that conditions (3.2), (5.2), and (5.3) are fulfilled. Let p Î H .
Then for any pair of semitrajectories { St yj : t ³ 0 } , j = 1 , 2 , possessing the property St yj £ R for all t ³ 0 the estimate

conditions y1 = ( u01 ; u 11 ) and y 2 = ( u 02 ; u 12 ) , then the function v ( t ) =

v·· + g v· + A2 v = F ( u 1 , u 2 , t ) ,
(6.2)
where

dimension of the attractor A is finite. Thus, Theorem 6.1 is proved.
Global Attractor and Inertial Sets
Theorem 5.2 and Lemmata 6.1 and 6.2 enable us to use Theorem 1.9.2 to obtain an
assertion on the existence of the inertial set (fractal exponential attractor) for the
dynamical system ( H , St ) generated by problem (0.1) and (0.2).
Theorem 6.2
Assume that the hypotheses of Theorem 6.1 hold. Then there exists
a compact positively invariant set Aexp Ì H of the finite fractal dimension such that

for any bounded set B in H and t ³ tB . Here C and n are positive numbers. The inertial set A exp is bounded in the space Hs .
To prove the theorem we should only note that relations (5.11), (6.1), and (6.3)
coincide with conditions (9.12)–(9.14) of Theorem 1.9.2.
Using (1.8.3) and (1.9.18) we can obtain estimates (involving the parameters of the
problem) for the dimensions of the attractor and the inertial set by an accurate observing of the constants in the proof of Theorems 5.1 and 5.2 and Lemmata 6.1 and
6.2. However, as far as problem (0.3) and (0.4) is concerned, it is rather difficult
to evaluate these estimates for the values of parameters that are very interesting
from the point of view of applications. Moreover, these estimates appear to be quite
overstated. Therefore, the assertions on the finite dimensionality of an attractor and
inertial set should be considered as qualitative results in this case. In particular, this
assertions mean that the nonlinear flutter of a plate is an essentially finite-dimensional phenomenon. The study of oscillations caused by the flutter can be reduced to
the study of the structure of the global attractor of the system and the properties
of inertial sets.
E x e r c i s e 6.1 Prove that the global attractor of the dynamical system generated by problem (0.1) and (0.2) is a uniformly asymptotically stable
set (Hint: see Theorem 1.7.1).
We note that theorems analogous to Theorems 6.1 and 6.2 also hold for a class of retarded perturbations of problem (0.1) and (0.2). For example, instead of (0.1) and
(0.2) we can consider (cf. [11–13]) the following problem

pressure in problem (0.3) and (0.4).
The following assertion gives the time smoothness of trajectories lying in the attractor of problem (0.1) and (0.2).

Proof.
It is evident that conditions (5.3) and (5.10) follow from (6.6). Therefore, we
can apply Theorem 6.1 which guarantees the existence of a global attractor A . Let
us assume that M ( z ) Î C l + 1 ( R+ ) , l ³ 1 . Let y ( t ) = ( u ( t ) , u· ( t ) ) be a trajectory in
A , -¥ < t < ¥ . We consider a function u m ( t ) = pm u ( t ) , where pm is the orthoprojector onto the span of the basis vectors { e 1 , ¼ , e m } in F 0 for m large enough.
It is clear that um ( t ) Î C 2 ( R ; F2 ) and satisfies the equation

(6.8)
Equation (6.6) for s = - 1 ¤ 2 implies that pm L u is a continuously differentiable

Conditions of Regularity of Attractor
§7
Conditions of Regularity of Attractor
Unfortunately, the structure of the global attractor of problem (0.1) and (0.2) can be
described only under additional conditions that guarantee the existence of the Lyapunov function (see Section 1.6). These conditions require that L º 0 and assume
the stationarity of the transverse load p ( t ) . For the Berger system (0.3) and (0.4)
these hypotheses correspond to r = 0 and p ( x , t ) º p ( x ) , i.e. to the case of plate
oscillations in a motionless stationary medium.
Thus, let us assume that the operator L is identically equal to zero and
p ( t ) º p in (0.1). Assume that the hypotheses of Theorem 3.1 hold. Then energy
equality (3.6) implies that

where y ( t ) = St y = ( u ( t ) , u· ( t ) ) , the function u ( t ) is a weak solution to problem
(0.1) and (0.2) with the initial conditions y = ( u0 ; u 1 ) , and E ( y ) is the energy
of the system defined by formula (3.7).
Let us prove that the functional Y ( y ) = E ( y ) - ( p , u 0 ) with y = ( u0 ; u1 )
is a Lyapunov function (for definition see Section 1.6) of the dynamical system
( H , St ) . Indeed, it is evident that the functional Y ( y ) is continuous on H . By virtue of (7.1) it is monotonely increasing. If E ( y ( t0 ) ) = E ( y ) for some t0 > 0 , then

ò u· (t)

Therefore, u· ( t ) = 0 for t Î [ 0 , t0 ] , i.e. u ( t ) = u is a stationary solution to problem (0.1) and (0.2). Hence, y = ( u ; 0 ) is a fixed point of the semigroup St .
Therefore, Theorems 1.6.1 and 6.1 give us the following assertion.
Theorem 7.1
Assume that g > 0 , L º 0 , and p Î Fs for some s > 0 . We also assume
that the function M ( z ) satisfies conditions (3.2) and (5.2).. Then the global
attractor A of the dynamical system ( H , St ) generated by problem (0.1)
and (0.2) has the form
A = M+ (N ) ,

Further we prove that if the hypotheses of Theorem 7.1 hold, then the attractor A
of problem (0.1) and (0.2) is regular in generic case. As in Section 2.5, the corresponding arguments are based on the results obtained by A. V. Babin and M. I. Vishik
(see also Section 1.6). These results prove that in generic case the number of fixed
points is finite and all of them are hyperbolic.
Conditions of Regularity of Attractor

Assume that conditions (3.2) and (5.2) are fulfilled. Then the problem

possesses a solution for any p Î Fs , where s ³ 0 . If B is a bounded set

Thus, the functional W ( u ) is bounded below. Let us consider it on the subspace

In the case of a zero transverse load ( p º 0 ) Theorem 7.2 is not applicable in general. However, this case can be studied by using the structure of the problem. For example, we can guarantee finiteness of the set of fixed points if we assume (see Exercise 7.1) that the equation M ( c 2 l k ) + lk = 0 , first, is solvable with respect to c
only for a finite number of the eigenvalues l k and, second, possesses not more than
a finite number of solutions for every k . The solutions to equation (7.5) are either
u º 0 , or u = c 0 e k0 , where c 0 and k0 satisfy M ( c02 lk ) + lk = 0 . The eigen0

values of the operator L ¢ [ u ] have the form

Equation (8.1) differs from equation (0.1) in that the parameter m > 0 is introduced. It stands for the mass density of the plate material. The introduction of a new
time t ¢ = t ¤ m transforms equation (8.1) into (0.1) with the medium resistance parameter g ¢ = g ¤ m instead of g . Therefore, all the above results mentioned above
remain true for problem (8.1) and (8.2) as well.
On Singular Limit in the Problem of Oscillations of a Plate
The main question discussed in this section is the asymptotic behaviour of the
solution to problem (8.1) and (8.2) for the case when the inertial forces are small
with respect to the medium resistance forces m ” g . Formally, this assumption
leads to a quasistatic statement of problem (8.1) and (8.2):

(8.4)
Here we prove that the global attractor of problem (8.1) and (8.2) is close to the global attractor of the dynamical system generated by equations (8.3) and (8.4)
in some sense.
Without loss of generality we further assume that g = 1 . We also note that
problem (8.3) and (8.4) belongs to the class of equations considered in Chapter 2.
Assume that conditions (3.2) and (3.3) are fulfilled and
p Î F0 = H . Show that problem (8.3) and (8.4) has a unique mild

This implies the dissipativity of the dynamical system ( F1 , St ) generated by problem (8.3) and (8.4). In order to complete the proof of the theorem we use Theorem
2.4.1.
On Singular Limit in the Problem of Oscillations of a Plate
We note that the dissipativity also implies that the dynamical system ( F1 , St ) possesses a fractal exponential attractor (see Theorem 2.4.2).
E x e r c i s e 8.3 Assume that the hypotheses of Theorem 8.1 hold and L º 0 .
Show that for generic p Î H the attractor of the dynamical system
( F1 , S t ) generated by equations (8.3) and (8.4) is regular (see the
definition in the statement of Theorem 7.2). Hint: see Section 2.5.
We assume that M ( z ) Î C 2 ( R + ) and conditions (3.2), (5.2), (5.3), and (5.10) are

fulfilled. Let us consider the dynamical system ( H1 , St ) generated by problem
(8.1) and (8.2) in the space H1 = F 2 ´ F 1 º D ( A2 ) ´ D ( A ) . Lemma 5.2 and Exercise 5.5 imply that ( H1 , Stm) possesses a compact global attractor A m for any
m > 0.
The main result of this section is the following assertion on the closeness of
attractors of problem (8.1) and (8.2) and problem (8.3) and (8.4) for small m > 0 .
Theorem 8.2
Assume that M ( z ) Î C 2 ( R + ) and conditions (3.2),, (5.2),, (5.3),, and
(5.10) concerning M ( z ) , L , and p are fulfilled. Then the equation

Here A is a global attractor of problem (8.3) and (8.4) in F 1 and
dist H ( y , A ) is the distance between the element y and the set A in the

The proof of the theorem is based on the following lemmata.

The dynamical system ( H1 , St ) is uniformly dissipative in H with

Let ym ( t ) = ( u m ( t ) ; u· m ( t ) ) be a trajectory of system (8.1) and (8.2) lying in the attractor A m and such that ym ( 0 ) = ym . Equation (8.21) implies that there exist

where F ( . ) is a Lipschitzian mapping from P H into ( 1 - P ) H and P is a
finite-dimensional projector in H . This manifold possesses the properties:
1) for any bounded set B in H and for t ³ t0 ( B )
sup { dist ( St y , M ) : y Î B } £ C exp { -b ( t - t0 ( B ) ) } ;
(9.4)
2) there exists R > 0 such that the conditions y ÎM and St y H £ R for
t Î [ 0 , t0 ] imply that St y ÎM for t Î [ 0 , t0 ] ;
3) if the global attractor of the system ( H , St ) exists, then the set M
contains it (see Theorem 6.1)..
Proof.
Conditions (3.2), (5.2), and (5.3) imply (see Theorem 5.1) that the dynamical
system ( H , St ) is dissipative, i.e. there exists R > 0 such that

It is easy to find that there exists a constant CR such that

Therefore, we can apply Theorem 3.7.2 to the dynamical system ( H , St ) generated
by equation (9.6). This theorem guarantees the existence of an inertial manifold of
˜
the system ( H , St ) if the hypotheses of Theorem 9.1 hold. However, inside the dissipativity ball { y : y H £ R } problem (9.6) coincides with problem (0.1) and (0.2).
This easily implies the assertion of Theorem 9.1.

It is evident that the most essential assumption of Theorem 9.1 that restricts its application is condition (9.2). In this connection the following assertion concerning the
case when problem (0.1) and (0.2) possesses a regular attractor is of some interest.
Theorem 9.2

Î Lin { e 1 , ¼ , eN } for some N 0 . We also assume that conditions (3.2) and
0
(5.2) are fulfilled. Then there exists N1 ³ N0 such that for all N ³ N1 the
subspace

Since pN g = g for N ³ N0 , where pN is the orthoprojector onto the span of

the ball of dissipativity { y : y H £ R } . Evidently the function v ( t ) = ( 1 - p N ) u ( t )
satisfies the equation

the order N of problem (0.1) and (0.2).
E x e r c i s e 9.4 Show that if the hypotheses of Theorem 9.2 hold, then the
global attractor of problem (0.1) and (0.2) coincides with the global
attractor of its Galerkin approximation of a sufficiently large order.
Let us now turn to the question on the construction of approximate inertial manifolds for problem (0.1) and (0.2). In this case we can use the results of Section 3.8
and the theorems on the regularity proved in Sections 4 and 5.

We consider equations (9.10) and (9.11) as well as Theorem 5.3 which guarantees
nonemptiness of the classes L m , R corresponding to the problem considered when
R > 0 is large enough. They enable us to apply the results of Section 3.8.
