Random Dynamics of the Boussinesq System with Dynamical Boundary Conditions

Abstract

A coupled system of the two-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations and the salinity transport equation with spatially correlated white noise on the boundary as well as in fluid is investigated. The noise affects the system through a dynamical boundary condition. This system may be considered as a model for gravity currents in oceanic fluids. The noise is due to uncertainty in salinity flux on fluid boundary. After transforming this system into a random dynamical system, we first obtain asymptotic estimates on system evolution, and then show that the long time dynamics is captured by a random attractor.     

Attractor for lattice system of dissipative Zakharov equation

We consider the asymptotic behavior of solutions of an infinite lattice dynamical system of dissipative Zakharov equation. By introducing new weight inner product and norm in the space and establishing uniform estimate on ＂Tail End＂ of solutions, we overcome some difficulties caused by the lack of Sobolev compact embedding under infinite lattice system, and prove the existence of the global attractor; then by using element decomposition and the covering property of a polyhedron in the finite-dimensional space, we obtain an upper bound for the Kolmogorov ε-entropy of the global attractor; finally, we present the upper semicontinuity of the global attractor.     

Upper Semicontinuity and Kolmogorov ε-Entropy of Global Attractor for κ-Dimensional Lattice Dynamical System Corresponding to Klein-Gordon-SchrSdinger Equation

In this paper, we establish the existence of a global attractor for a coupled κ-dimensional lattice dynamical system governed by a discrete version of the Klein-Gordon-SchrSdinger Equation. An estimate of the upper bound of the Kohnogorov ε-entropy of the global attractor is made by a method of element decomposition and the covering property of a polyhedron by balls of radii ε in a finite dimensional space. Finally, a scheme to approximate the global attractor by the global attractors of finite-dimensional ordinary differential systems is presented .     

One-dimensional global attractor for strongly damped wave equations

We consider the dynamical behavior of the strongly damped wave equations under homogeneous Neumann boundary condition. By the property of limit set of asymptotic autonomous differential equations, we prove that in certain parameter region, the system has a one-dimensional global attractor, which is a periodic horizontal curve.     

Relation between Different Types of Global Attractors of Set-Valued Nonautonomous Dynamical Systems

The article is devoted to the study of the relation between forward and pullback attractors of set-valued nonautonomous dynamical systems (cocycles). Here it is proved that every compact global forward attractor is also a pullback attractor of the set-valued nonautonomous dynamical system. The inverse statement, generally speaking, is not true, but we prove that every global pullback attractor of an α-condensing set-valued cocycle is always a local forward attractor. The obtained general results are applied while studying periodic and homogeneous systems. We give also a new criterion of the absolute asymptotic stability of nonstationary discrete linear inclusions.

Asymptotic autonomous attractors for a stochastic lattice model with random viscosity

We study forward asymptotic autonomy of a pullback random attractor for a non-autonomous random lattice system and establish the criteria in terms of convergence, recurrence, forward-pullback absorption and asymptotic smallness of the discrete random dynamical system. By applying the abstract result to both non-autonomous and autonomous stochastic lattice equations with random viscosity, we show the existence of both pullback and global random attractors such that the time-component of the pullback attractor semi-converges to the global attractor as the time-parameter tends to infinity.     

Finite-dimensional global attractor for a system modeling the 2D nematic liquid crystal flow

We consider a 2D system that models the nematic liquid crystal flow through the Navier–Stokes equations suitably coupled with a transport-reaction-diffusion equation for the averaged molecular orientations. This system has been proposed as a reasonable approximation of the well-known Ericksen–Leslie system. Taking advantage of previous well-posedness results and proving suitable dissipative estimates, here we show that the system endowed with periodic boundary conditions is a dissipative dynamical system with a smooth global attractor of finite fractal dimension.     

Random attractor and upper semi-continuity for Zakharov lattice system with multiplicative white noise

In this paper, we study the long-term asymptotic behaviour of solutions to the stochastic Zakharov lattice equation with multiplicative white noise. We first transfer the stochastic lattice equation into a random lattice equation and prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions which generate a random dynamical system. Then we consider the existence of a tempered random bounded absorbing set and a random attractor for the system. Finally we establish the upper semi-continuity of random attractor to the global attractor of the limiting system as the coefficients of the white noise terms tend to zero.     

Convergence of Exponential Attractors for a Finite Element Approximation of the Allen–Cahn Equation

Abstract

We consider a space semidiscretization of the Allen–Cahn equation by continuous piecewise linear finite elements. For every mesh parameter h, we build an exponential attractor of the dynamical system associated with the approximate equations. We prove that, as h tends to 0, this attractor converges for the symmetric Hausdorff distance to an exponential attractor of the dynamical system associated with the Allen–Cahn equation. We also prove that the fractal dimension of the exponential attractor and of the global attractor is bounded by a constant independent of h. Our proof is adapted from the result of Efendiev, Miranville and Zelik concerning the continuity of exponential attractors under perturbation of the underlying semigroup. Here, the perturbation is a space discretization. The case of a time semidiscretization has been analyzed in a previous paper.     

Hausdorff dimension of a random invariant set

The notion of random attractor for a dissipative stochastic dynamical system has recently been introduced. It generalizes the concept of global attractor in the deterministic theory. It has been shown that many stochastic dynamical systems associated to a dissipative partial differential equation perturbed by noise do possess a random attractor. In this paper, we prove that, as in the case of the deterministic attractor, the Hausdorff dimension of the random attractor can be estimated by using global Lyapunov exponents. The result is obtained under very natural assumptions. As an application, we consider a stochastic reaction-diffusion equation and show that its random attractor has finite Hausdorff dimension.     

Long-Time Behavior of Finite Difference Solutions of a Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation with Weakly Damped

A weakly damped Schrödinger equation possessing a global attractor are considered. The dynamical properties of a class of finite difference scheme are analysed. The existence of global attractor is proved for the discrete system. The stability of the difference scheme and the error estimate of the difference solution are obtained in the autonomous system case. Finally, long-time stability and convergence of the class of finite difference scheme also are analysed in the nonautonomous system case.

Attractors of reaction‐diffusion systems in unbounded domains and their spatial complexity

The nonlinear reaction‐diffusion system in an unbounded domain is studied. It is proven that, under some natural assumptions on the nonlinear term and on the diffusion matrix, this system possesses a global attractor ?? in the corresponding phase space. Since the dimension of the attractor happens to be infinite, we study its Kolmogorov's ?‐entropy. Upper and lower bounds of this entropy are obtained. Moreover, we give a more detailed study of the attractor for the spatially homogeneous RDE in ?ⁿ. In this case, a group of spatial shifts acts on the attractor. In order to study the spatial complexity of the attractor, we interpret this group as a dynamical system (with multidimensional “time” if n > 1) acting on a phase space ??. It is proven that the dynamical system thus obtained is chaotic and has infinite topological entropy. In order to clarify the nature of this chaos, we suggest a new model dynamical system that generalizes the symbolic dynamics to the case of the infinite entropy and construct the homeomorphic (and even Lipschitz‐continuous) embedding of this system into the spatial shifts on the attractor. Finally, we consider also the temporal evolution of the spatially chaotic structures in the attractor and prove that the spatial chaos is preserved under this evolution. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In this paper we study the asymptotic dynamics of the stochastic strongly damped wave equation with homogeneous Neumann boundary condition. We investigate the existence of a random attractor for the random dynamical system associated with the equation.     

Attractors for partly dissipative lattice dynamic systems in weighted spaces

In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of solutions for the partly dissipative lattice dynamical systems in weighted spaces. We first establish the dynamic systems on infinite lattice, and then prove the existence of the global attractor in weighted spaces by the asymptotic compactness of the solutions. It is shown that the global attractors contain traveling waves. The upper semicontinuity of the global attractor is also considered by finite-dimensional approximations of attractors for the lattice systems.     

Stability of random attractors under perturbation and approximation

The comparison of the long-time behaviour of dynamical systems and their numerical approximations is not straightforward since in general such methods only converge on bounded time intervals. However, one can still compare their asymptotic behaviour using the global attractor, and this is now standard in the deterministic autonomous case. For random dynamical systems there is an additional problem, since the convergence of numerical methods for such systems is usually given only on average. In this paper the deterministic approach is extended to cover stochastic differential equations, giving necessary and sufficient conditions for the random attractor arising from a random dynamical system to be upper semi-continuous with respect to a given family of perturbations or approximations.     

Positive steady states of a diffusive predator–prey system with modified Holling–Tanner functional response

In this paper, we study a diffusive predator–prey system with modified Holling–Tanner functional response under homogeneous Neumann boundary condition. The qualitative properties, including the global attractor, persistence property, local and global asymptotic stability of the unique positive constant equilibrium are obtained. We also establish the existence and nonexistence of nonconstant positive steady states of this reaction–diffusion system, which indicates the effect of large diffusivity.     

Energy Decay and Global Attractors for Thermoviscoelastic Systems

In this paper, we establish a decay result of global solutions and the existence of the global attractor for higher-dimensional linear thermoviscoelastic equations by introducing a velocity feedback on a part of the boundary and using multiplier techniques. We extend the results in Messaoudi and Mustafa (Nonlinear Anal. TMA 10:3132–3140, 2009) for a viscoelastic system to those for a thermoviscoelastic system.
