Vl. Khodasevich «A Blind Man» Preface

The recent years have been marked out by an evergrowing interest in the research of qualitative behaviour of solutions to nonlinear evolutionary partial differential equations. Such equations mostly arise as mathematical models of processes that take place in real (physical, chemical, biological, etc.) systems whose states can be characterized by an infinite number of parameters in general. Dissipative systems form an important class of sys- tems observed in reality. Their main feature is the presence of mechanisms of reallocation and . Interaction of these two mecha- nisms can lead to appearance of complicated limit regimes and structures in the system. Intense interest to the infinite-dimensional dissipative sys- tems was significantly stimulated by attempts to find adequate mathemati- cal models for the explanation of turbulence in liquids based on the notion of strange (irregular) attractor. By now significant progress in the study of dynamics of infinite-dimensional dissipative systems have been made. Moreover, the latest mathematical studies offer a more or less common line (strategy), which when followed can help to answer a number of principal questions about the properties of limit regimes arising in the system under consideration. Although the methods, ideas and concepts from finite-di- mensional dynamical systems constitute the main source of this strategy, finite-dimensional approaches require serious revaluation and .

The book is devoted to a systematic introduction to the scope of main ideas, methods and problems of the mathematical theory of infinite-dimen- sional dissipative dynamical systems. Main attention is paid to the systems that are generated by nonlinear partial differential equations arising in the modern mechanics of continua. The main goal of the book is to help the reader to master the basic strategies of the theory and to qualify him/her for an independent scientific research in the given branch. We also hope that experts in nonlinear dynamics will find the form many fundamental facts are presented in convenient and practical.

The core of the book is composed of the courses given by the author at the Department of Mechanics and Mathematics at Kharkov University dur- ing several years. The book consists of 6 chapters. Each chapter corre- sponds to a term course (34-36 hours) approximately. Its body can be inferred from the table of contents. Every chapter includes a separate list of references. The references do not claim to be full. The lists consist of the publications referred to in this book and offer additional works recommen- 8 Preface

ded for further reading. There are a lot of exercises in the book. They play a double role. On the one hand, proofs of some statements are presented as (or contain) cycles of exercises. On the other hand, some exercises contain an additional information on the object under consideration. We recom- mend that the exercises should be read at least. Formulae and statements have double indexing in each chapter (the first digit is a section number). When formulae and statements from another chapter are referred to, the number of the corresponding chapter is placed first.

It is sufficient to know the basic concepts and facts from functional analysis and ordinary differential equations to read the book. It is quite un- derstandable for under-graduate students in Mathematics and Physics.

The mathematical theory of dynamical systems is based on the qualitative theo- ry of ordinary differential equations the foundations of which were laid by Henri Poincaré (1854–1912). An essential role in its development was also played by the works of A. M. Lyapunov (1857–1918) and A. A. Andronov (1901–1952). At present the theory of dynamical systems is an intensively developing branch of mathematics which is closely connected to the theory of differential equations. In this chapter we present some ideas and approaches of the theory of dynami- cal systems which are of general-purpose use and applicable to the systems genera- ted by nonlinear partial differential equations.

§ 1 Notion of Dynamical System

(), In this book dynamical system is taken to mean the pair of objects XSt con- sisting of a complete metric space XS and a family t of continuous mappings of the space X into itself with the properties = t Î = St + t St ° St , t, T+ , S0 I , (1.1) where T+ coincides with either a set R+ of nonnegative real numbers or a set = {},,,¼ = ()= Z+ 012 . If T+ R+ , we also assume that yt St y is a continuous function with respect to tyX for any Î . Therewith X is called a phase space, or a state space, the family St is called an evolutionary operator (or semigroup), parameter t Î T+ plays the role of time. If T+ = Z+ , then dynamical system is = (), called discrete (or a system with discrete time). If T+ R+ , then XSt is fre- quently called to be dynamical system with continuous time. If a notion of dimen- sion can be defined for the phase space XX (e. g., if is a lineal), the value dim X is called a dimension of dynamical system. Originally a dynamical system was understood as an isolated mechanical system the motion of which is described by the Newtonian differential equations and which is characterized by a finite set of generalized coordinates and velocities. Now people associate any time-dependent process with the notion of dynamical system. These processes can be of quite different origins. Dynamical systems naturally arise in physics, chemistry, biology, economics and sociology. The notion of dynamical sys- tem is the key and uniting element in synergetics. Its usage enables us to cover a rather wide spectrum of problems arising in particular sciences and to work out universal approaches to the description of qualitative picture of real phenomena in the universe. 12 Basic Concepts of the Theory of Infinite-Dimensional Dynamical Systems

C h Let us look at the following examples of dynamical systems. a p t Example 1.1 e r Let fx() be a continuously differentiable function on the real axis posessing the 1 property xf() x ³ -C ()1 + x2 , where C is a constant. Consider the Cauchy problem for an ordinary differential equation \ ()= - ()() > ()= x t fxt , t 0 ,x 0 x0 . (1.2) For any x Î R problem (1.2) is uniquely solvable and determines a dynamical = () system in R . The evolutionary operator St is given by the formula St x0 xt , where xt() is a solution to problem (1.2). Semigroup property (1.1) holds by virtue of the theorem of uniqueness of solutions to problem (1.2). Equations of the type (1.2) are often used in the modeling of some ecological processes. For example, if we take fx()=a a× xx()- 1 , > 0 , then we get a logistic equ- ation that describes a growth of a population with competition (the value xt() is the population level; we should take R+ for the phase space).

Example 1.2 Let fx() and gx() be continuously differentiable functions such that x Fx()= ò f ()xx d ³ -c , gx()³ -c 0 with some constant c . Let us consider the Cauchy problem \\ \ ì x ++gx()x fx()= 0 , t> 0 , í (1.3) ()= \ ()= î x 0 x0 , x 0 x1 . = (), Î 2 For any y0 x0 x1 R , problem (1.3) is uniquely solvable. It generates ()2, a two-dimensional dynamical system R St , provided the evolutionary ope- rator is defined by the formula (); = ()() \ () St x0 x1 xt; x t , where xt() is the solution to problem (1.3). It should be noted that equations of the type (1.3) are known as Liénard equations in literature. The van der Pol equation: gx()== e()x2 - 1 , e > 0 , fx() x and the Duffing equation: gx()== e, e > 0 , fx() x3 - ax× - b which often occur in applications, belong to this class of equations. Notion of Dynamical System 13

Example 1.3 Let us now consider an autonomous system of ordinary differential equations \ ()= (),,,¼ = ,,¼ , xk t fk x1 x2 xN , k 12 N .(1.4) Let the Cauchy problem for the system of equations (1.4) be uniquely solvable over an arbitrary time interval for any initial condition. Assume that a solution continuously depends on the initial data. Then equations (1.4) generate an N - di- ()N, mensional dynamical system R St with the evolutionary operator St acting in accordance with the formula ==()(),, ¼ () (),,,¼ St y0 x1 t xN t , y0 x10 x20 xN 0 , {}() where xi t is the solution to the system of equations (1.4) such that ()= = ,,¼ , xi 0 xi 0 , i 12 N . Generally, let XF be a linear space and be a continuous mapping of X into itself. Then the Cauchy problem \ ()==()() > () Î x t Fxt , t 0 , x 0 x0 X (1.5) (), generates a dynamical system XSt in a natural way provided this problem is well-posed, i.e. theorems on existence, uniqueness and continuous dependence of solutions on the initial conditions are valid for (1.5).

Example 1.4 Let us consider an ordinary retarded differential equation \ x ()t + axt()= fxt()()- 1 , t > 0 , (1.6) where f is a continuous function on R1 , a > 0 . Obviously an initial condition for (1.6) should be given in the form xt() = f()t .(1.7) t Î []-10, Assume that f ()t lies in the space C []-1, 0 of continuous functions on the segment []-1, 0 . In this case the solution to problem (1.6) and (1.7) can be constructed by step-by-step integration. For example, if 0 ££t 1, the solu- tion xt() is given by t -a ()- t xt()= e-a t f ()0 + òe t f ()tft()-1 d , 0 and if t Î []12, , then the solution is expressed by the similar formula in terms of the values of the function xt() for t Î []01, and so on. It is clear that the so- lution is uniquely determined by the initial function f ()t . If we now define an = []- , operator St in the space XC1 0 by the formula ()tf ()= ()+ t t Î []- , St xt , 10, where xt() is the solution to problem (1.6) and (1.7), then we obtain an infi- ()[]- , , nite-dimensional dynamical system C 1 0 St . 14 Basic Concepts of the Theory of Infinite-Dimensional Dynamical Systems

C h Now we give several examples of discrete dynamical systems. First of all it should be a (), noted that any system XSt with continuous time generates a discrete system if p Î Î t we take t Z+ instead of t R+ . Furthermore, the evolutionary operator St of e a discrete dynamical system is a degree of the mapping S , i. e. S = St ,tÎ . r 1 t 1 Z+ Thus, a dynamical system with discrete time is determined by a continuous mapping 1 of the phase space X into itself. Moreover, a discrete dynamical system is very often defined as a pair ()XS, , consisting of the metric space X and the continuous map- ping S .

Example 1.5 Let us consider a one-step difference scheme for problem (1.5): x - x n +1 n = () =t,,,¼ > t Fxn , n 012 , 0 . There arises a discrete dynamical system ()XS, n , where S is the continuous mapping of XSxx into itself defined by the formula = + t Fx() .

Example 1.6 Let us consider a nonautonomous ordinary differential equation \ x ()t = fx(), t, t > 0 ,x Î R1 , (1.9) where fx(), t is a continuously differentiable function of its variables and is pe- riodic with respect to t , i. e. fx(), t = fx(), t+ T for some T > 0 . It is as- sumed that the Cauchy problem for (1.9) is uniquely solvable on any time interval. We define a monodromy operator (a period mapping) by the formula = () () Sx0 xT, where xt is the solution to (1.9) satisfying the initial condition ()= x 0 x0 . It is obvious that this operator possesses the property Sk xt()= xt()+ kT (1.10)

for any solution xt() to equation (1.9) and anyk Î Z+ . The arising dynamical system ()R1, Sk plays an important role in the study of the long-time proper- ties of solutions to problem (1.9).

Example 1.7 (Bernoulli shift) = S = {}, Î Let X 2 be a set of sequences xxi i Z consisting of zeroes and ones. Let us make this set into a metric space by defining the distance by the formula (), = { -n = ,}< dx y inf 2 : xi yi in. Let SX be the shift operator on , i. e. the mapping transforming the sequence = {} = {} = xxi into the element yyi , where yi xi +1 . As a result, a dynamical system ()XS, n comes into being. It is used for describing complicated (qua- sirandom) behaviour in some quite realistic systems. Notion of Dynamical System 15

In the example below we describe one of the approaches that enables us to connect dynamical systems to nonautonomous (and nonperiodic) ordinary differential equa- tions.

Example 1.8 Let hx(), t be a continuous bounded function on R2 . Let us define the hull (), Lh of the function hx t as the closure of a set ìü íýht ()xt, º hx(), t+t , t Î R îþ with respect to the norm ìü h = sup íýhx(), t : x Î R, t Î R . C îþ Let gx() be a continuous function. It is assumed that the Cauchy problem

\ ()==()+ (), () x t gx h xt, x 0 x0 (1.11)

[ , ¥) Î is uniquely solvable over the interval 0+ for any h Lh . Let us define the evolutionary operator S on the space X = R1 ´ L by the formula t h (), = ()()t , St x0 h x ht ,

where xt() is the solution to problem (1.11) and ht = h ()xt, +t . As a result, ()´ , a dynamical system R Lh St comes into being. A similar construction is of- ten used when Lh is a compact set in the space C of continuous bounded func- tions (for example, if hx(), t is a quasiperiodic or almost periodic function). As the following example shows, this approach also enables us to use naturally the notion of the dynamical system for the description of the evolution of ob- jects subjected to random influences.

Example 1.9

Assume that f0 and f1 are continuous mappings from a metric space Y into it- self. Let Yy be a state space of a system that evolves as follows: if is the state of + () () the system at time kk , then its state at time 1 is either f0 y or f1 y with ¤ probability 12 , where the choice of f0 or f1 does not depend on time and the previous states. The state of the system can be defined after a number of steps in time if we flip a coin and write down the sequence of events from the right to the left using 01 and . For example, let us assume that after 8 flips we get the following set of outcomes: ¼ 10 110010 . Here 10 corresponds to the head falling, whereas corresponds to the tail fall- ing. Therewith the state of the system at time t = 8 will be written in the form: 16 Basic Concepts of the Theory of Infinite-Dimensional Dynamical Systems

C = ()() h Wf1 ° f0 ° f1 ° f1 ° f0 ° f0 ° f1 ° f0 y . a S p This construction can be formalized as follows. Let 2 be a set of two-sided se- t e quences consisting of zeroes and ones (as in Example 1.7), i.e. a collection r of elements of the type w¼w= ()¼w w w ¼w ¼ 1 -n -1 0 1 n , w = S ´ where i is equal to either 10 or . Let us consider the space X 2 Y con- =wS()w, Î Î sisting of pairs x y , where 2 , yY . Let us define the mapping FX:® X by the formula:

Fx()º F()w, y = ()S w, fw ()y , 0 S where S is the left-shift operator in 2 (see Example 1.7). It is easy to see that the n - th degree of the mapping F actcts according to the formula n n F ()w, y = ()S w , ()fw ° ¼ ° fw ° fw ()y n - 1 1 0 ()S ´ , n and it generates a discrete dynamical system 2 Y F . This system is often called a universal random (discrete) dynamical system.

Examples of dynamical systems generated by partial differential equations will be gi- ven in the chapters to follow.

Exercise 1.1 Assume that operators S have a continuous inverse for any t . t Show that the family of operators {}S : t Î R defined by the equa- t = ³ = -1 < lity St St for t 0 and St S t for t 0 form a group, i.e. (1.1) holds for all t, t Î R .

Exercise 1.2 Prove the unique solvability of problems (1.2) and (1.3) in- volved in Examples 1.1 and 1.2.

Exercise 1.3 Ground formula (1.10) in Example 1.6.

Exercise 1.4 Show that the mapping St in Example 1.8 possesses semi- group property (1.1).

Exercise 1.5 Show that the value dx(), y involved in Example 1.7 is a met- ric. Prove its equivalence to the metric ¥ *(), = - i - d xy å 2 xi yi . i = -¥ Trajectories and Invariant Sets 17

§ 2 Trajectories and Invariant Sets

(), Let XSt be a dynamical system with continuous or discrete time. Its trajectory (or orbit) is defined as a set of the type g = {}ut(): t Î T , where ut() is a continuous function with values in XS such that t ut()= ut()+ t for all t Î T+ and t Î T . Positive (negative) semitrajectory is defined as a set + – g =g{}ut(): t ³ 0 , (= {}ut(): t £ 0 , respectively), where a continuous on T+ () ()= ()+t (T– , respectively) function ut possesses the property St ut ut for any t > 0 , t ³t0 (> 0, t £ 0, t + t £ 0 , respectively). It is clear that any positive g+ g+ = {}³ semitrajectory has the form St v : t 0 , i.e. it is uniquely determined by its initial state v . To emphasize this circumstance, we often write g+ = g+()v . In general, it is impossible to continue this semitrajectory g+()v to a full trajectory without imposing any additional conditions on the dynamical system.

Exercise 2.1 Assume that an evolutionary operator St is invertible for some t > 0 . Then it is invertible for all t > 0 and for any vXÎ there exists a negative semitrajectory g– = g–()v ending at the point v .

A trajectory g = {}ut(): t Î T is called a periodic trajectory (or a cycle) if there exists T Î T+ ,T > 0 such that ut()+ T = ut() . Therewith the minimal number T > 0 possessing the property mentioned above is called a period of a tra- jectory. Here TRZ is either or depending on whether the system is a continuous Î or a discrete one. An element u0 X is called a fixed point of a dynamical system (), = ³ XSt if St u0 u0 for all t 0 (synonyms: equilibrium point, stationary point).

(), Exercise 2.2 Find all the fixed points of the dynamical system RSt ge- nerated by equation (1.2) with fx()= xx()- 1 . Does there exist a periodic trajectory of this system?

Exercise 2.3 Find all the fixed points and periodic trajectories of a dynami- cal system in R2 generated by the equations

ì \ = - a - []()2 + 2 2 - ()2 + 2 + ïx y xx y 4 x y 1 , í ï \ = a - []()2 + 2 2 - ()2 + 2 + îy xyx y 4 x y 1 . Consider the cases a ¹a0 and = 0 . Hint: use polar coordinates.

Exercise 2.4 Prove the existence of stationary points and periodic trajecto- ries of any period for the discrete dynamical system described 18 Basic Concepts of the Theory of Infinite-Dimensional Dynamical Systems

C h in Example 1.7. Show that the set of all periodic trajectories is dense a in the phase space of this system. Make sure that there exists a tra- p t jectory that passes at a whatever small distance from any point of the e phase space. r

1 The notion of invariant set plays an important role in the theory of dynamical sys- tems. A subset YX of the phase space is said to be: Í ³ a) positively invariant, if St YY for all t 0 ; Ê ³ b) negatively invariant, if St YY for all t 0 ; c) invariant, if it is both positively and negatively invariant, i.e. if = ³ St YY for all t 0 . The simplest examples of invariant sets are trajectories and semitrajectories.

Exercise 2.5 Show that g+ is positively invariant, g– is negatively invariant and g is invariant.

Exercise 2.6 Let us define the sets g+()= ()º {}= Î A È St A È vSt u : uA t ³ 0 t ³ 0 and g–()= -1 ()º {}Î A È St A È v : St vA t ³ 0 t ³ 0 for any subset AX of the phase space . Prove that g+()A is a positively > invariant set, and if the operator St is invertible for some t 0, then g–()A is a negatively invariant set.

Other important example of invariant set is connected with the notions of w -limit and a -limit sets that play an essential role in the study of the long-time behaviour of dynamical systems. Let AXÌw . Then the -limit set for A is defined by w ()= () A Ç È St A , s ³ 0 ts³ X ()= {}= Î [] where St A vSt u : uA . Hereinafter Y X is the closure of a set Y in the space X . The set a ()= -1 () A Ç È St A , s ³ 0 ts³ X -1 ()=a{}Î where St A v : St vA , is called the -limit set for A . Trajectories and Invariant Sets 19

Lemma 2.1 For an element y to belong to an ww -limit set ()A , it is necessary and {}Ì sufficient that there exist a sequence of elements yn A and a se- quence of numbers tn , the latter tending to infinity such that lim dS()y , y =  , n ® ¥ tn n where dx(), y is the distance between the elements xy and in the space X .

Proof. Let the sequences mentioned above exist. Then it is obvious that for any t > ³ 0 there exists n0 0 such that S y Î S ()A , nn³ . tn n È t 0 t ³ t This implies that = Î () ySlim t yn È St A n ® ¥ n t ³ t X for all t > 0 . Hence, the element y belongs to the intersection of these sets, i.e. y Î w ()A . On the contrary, if y Î w ()A , then for all n = 012,,,¼ Î () ySÈ t A . tn³ X

Hence, for any nz there exists an element n such that Î () (), £ 1 zn È St A , dy zn n . tn³ Therewith it is obvious that z = S y ,y Î A ,t ³ n . This proves the n tn n n n lemma.

It should be noted that this lemma gives us a description of an w -limit set but does not guarantee its nonemptiness.

§ 3 Definition of AAttttractortractor

Attractor is a central object in the study of the limit regimes of dynamical systems. Several definitions of this notion are available. Some of them are given below. From the point of view of infinite-dimensional systems the most convenient concept is that of the global attractor. Ì A bounded closed set A1 X is called a global attractor for a dynamical sys- (), tem XSt , if = > 1) A1 is an invariant set, i.e. St A1 A1 for any t 0 ; 2) the set A1 uniformly attracts all trajectories starting in bounded sets, i.e. for any bounded set BX from

ìü (), Î = limsup íýdistSt yA1 : yB 0 . t ® ¥ îþ We remind that the distance between an element zA and a set is defined by the equality: dist ()zA, = inf {}dz(), y: yAÎ , where dz(), y is the distance between the elements zyX and in . The notion of a weak global attractor is useful for the study of dynamical sys- tems generated by partial differential equations. Definition of Attractor 21

Let XA be a complete linear metric space. A bounded weakly closed set 2 is ()= , > called a global weak attractor if it is invariant St A2 A2 t 0 and for any O Ì weak vicinity of the set A2 and for every bounded set BX there exists = ()O, Ì O ³ t0 t0 B such that St B for tt0 . We remind that an open set in weak topology of the space X can be described as finite intersection and subsequent arbitrary union of sets of the form = {}Î ()< Ulc, xX: lx c , where cl is a real number and is a continuous linear functional on X . It is clear that the concepts of global and global weak attractors coincide in the finite-dimensional case. In general, a global attractor A is also a global weak attrac- tor, provided the set A is weakly closed.

Exercise 3.1 Let A be a global or global weak attractor of a dynamical sys- (), tem XSt . Then it is uniquely determined and contains any boun- ded negatively invariant set. The attractor A also contains the w - limit set w ()B of any bounded BXÌ . (), Exercise 3.2 Assume that a dynamical system XSt with continuous time possesses a global attractor A1 . Let us consider a discrete sys- tem ()XT, n , where TS= with some t > 0 . Prove that A is a glo- t0 0 1 bal attractor for the system ()XT, n . Give an example which shows that the converse assertion does not hold in general.

If the global attractor A1 exists, then it contains a global minimal attractor A3 which is defined as a minimal closed positively invariant set possessing the property (), = Î limdist St yA3 0 for everyyX . t ® ¥

By definition minimality means that A3 has no proper subset possessing the proper- ties mentioned above. It should be noted that in contrast with the definition of the global attractor the uniform convergence of trajectories to A3 is not expected here. = Exercise 3.3 Show that St A3 A3 , provided A3 is a compact set. w ()Î Î Exercise 3.4 Prove that x A3 for any xX . Therewith, if A3 is = {}w () Î a compact, then A3 È x : xX .

By definition the attractor A3 contains limit regimes of each individual trajectory. ¹ It will be shown below that A3 A1 in general. Thus, a set of real limit regimes (states) originating in a dynamical system can appear to be narrower than the global attractor. Moreover, in some cases some of the states that are unessential from the point of view of the frequency of their appearance can also be “removed” from A3 , for example, such states like absolutely unstable stationary points. The next two definitions take into account the fact mentioned above. Unfortunately, they require 22 Basic Concepts of the Theory of Infinite-Dimensional Dynamical Systems

C h additional assumptions on the properties of the phase space. Therefore, these defini- a tions are mostly used in the case of finite-dimensional dynamical systems. p t Let a Borel measure mm such that ()X < ¥ be given on the phase space X of e a dynamical system ()XS, . A bounded set A in X is called a Milnor attractor r t 4 Milnor attractor m (), (with respect to the measure ) for XSt if A4 is a minimal closed invariant set 1 possessing the property (), = limdist St yA4 0 t ® ¥ for almost all elements yXÎm with respect to the measure . The Milnor attractor is frequently called a probabilistic global minimal attractor. At last let us introduce the notion of a statistically essential global minimal at- () tractor suggested by Ilyashenko. Let UX be an open set in X and let U x be its ()= Î ()= Ï characteristic function: XU x 1 , xU ; XU x 0 , xU . Let us define the average time t ()xU, which is spent by the semitrajectory g+()x emanating from x in the set U by the formula T t (), = 1 () xU lim XU St x dt . T ® ¥ T ò 0 A set U is said to be unessential with respect to the measure m if MU()º m{}x : t ()xU, > 0 = 0 .

The complement A5 to the maximal unessential open set is called an Ilyashenko aattttractortractor (with respect to the measure m ).

It should be noted that the attractors A4 and A5 are used in cases when the na- tural Borel measure is given on the phase space (for example, if X is a closed mea- surable set in RN and m is the Lebesgue measure). The relations between the notions introduced above can be illustrated by the following example.

Example 3.1 Let us consider a quasi-Hamiltonian system of equations in R2 :

ì \ ¶H ¶H ïq = - m H , ï ¶p ¶q í (3.1) ï \ ¶H ¶H ïp = -m - H , î ¶q ¶p where Hp(), q =m()12¤ p2 + q4 - q2 and is a positive number. It is easy to ascertain that the phase portrait of the dynamical system generated by equa- tions (3.1) has the form represented on Fig. 1. Definition of Attractor 23

A separatrix (“eight cur- ve”) separates the do- mains of the phase plane with the different quali- tative behaviour of the trajectories. It is given by the equation Hpq(), = 0 . The points ()pq, inside the separatrix are charac- terized by the equation Hpq(), < 0 . Therewith it appears that

Thus, = ÉÉÉ A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 , all inclusions being strict.

Exercise 3.5 Display graphically the attractors Aj of the system generated by equations (3.1) on the phase plane.

Exercise 3.6 Consider the dynamical system from Example 1.1 with ()= ()2 - = {}- ££ fx xx 1 . Prove that A1 x :1x 1 , = {}==; ± =={}= ± A3 x 0 x 1 , and A4 A5 x 1 . Ì Ì Exercise 3.7 Prove that A4 A3 and A5 A3 in general. Exercise 3.8 Show that all positive semitrajectories of a dynamical system which possesses a global minimal attractor are bounded sets.

In particular, the result of the last exercise shows that the global attractor can exist only under additional conditions concerning the behaviour of trajectories of the sys- tem at infinity. The main condition to be met is the dissipativity discussed in the next section. 24 Basic Concepts of the Theory of Infinite-Dimensional Dynamical Systems

C h § 4 Dissipativity and Asymptotic a p Compactness t e r 1 From the physical point of view dissipative systems are primarily connected with ir- reversible processes. They represent a rather wide and important class of the dy- namical systems that are intensively studied by modern natural sciences. These systems (unlike the conservative systems) are characterized by the existence of the accented direction of time as well as by the energy reallocation and dissipation. In particular, this means that limit regimes that are stationary in a certain sense can arise in the system when t ® + ¥ . Mathematically these features of the qualitative behaviour of the trajectories are connected with the existence of a bounded absor- bing set in the phase space of the system. Ì (), A set B0 X is said to be absorbing for a dynamical system XSt if for = () ()Ì any bounded set BX in there exists t0 t0 B such that St B B0 for every ³ (), tt0 . A dynamical system XSt is said to be dissipative if it possesses a boun- (), ded absorbing set. In cases when the phase space XXS of a dissipative system t {}Î £ is a Banach space a ball of the form xX: x X R can be taken as an absor- bing set. Therewith the value R is said to be a radius of dissipativity. As a rule, dissipativity of a dynamical system can be derived from the existence of a Lyapunov type function on the phase space. For example, we have the following assertion.

Theorem 4.1. (), Let the phase sspppaceace of a continuous dynamical system XSt be a Ba- nach space. Assume that: (a) there exists a continuous function Ux() on X possessing the pro- perties j ()£ ()£ j() 1 x Ux 2 x , (4.1) j () j ()® ¥ where j r are continuous functions on R+ and 1 r + when r ® ¥ ; (b) there exist a derivative d US()y for t ³ 0 and positive numbers dt t ar and such that

d US()y £ - afor S y > r . (4.2) dt t t (), Then the dynamical system XSt is dissipative.

Proof. ³jr ()> ³ Let us choose R0 such that 1 r 0 for rR0 . Let = {}j () £ + l sup 2 r : r 1 R0 >j+ ()> > and R1 R0 1 be such that 1 r l for rR1 . Let us show that Dissipativity and Asymptotic Compactness 25

£ ³ £ St yR1 for allt 0 andyR0 . (4.3) Î £ Assume the contrary, i.e. assume that for some yX such that yR0 there > > exists a time t 0 possessing the property St yR1 . Then the continuity of Sty implies that there exists 0 < r ()£ ³ £ provided St y . It follows that USt y l for all tt0 . Hence, St yR1 for ³ all tt0 . This contradicts the assumption. Let us assume now that B is an arbitrary bounded set in XR that does not lie inside the ball with the radius 0 . Then equation (4.2) implies that ()£ ()- a £ - a Î USt y Uy tlB t , yB , (4.4) > r provided St y . Here = {}() Î lB sup Ux: xB. Î * < ()a- ¤ Let yB . If for a time t lB l the semitrajectory St y enters the ball with r £ ³ * the radius , then by (4.3) we have St yR1 for all tt . If that does not take place, from equation (4.4) it follows that l - l j ()£ ()£ ³ B 1 St y USt y l fort a , £ ³ a-1 ()- i.e.St yR1 fort lB l . Thus, l - l Ì {}£ ³ B St Bx: xR1 , t a .

This and (4.3) imply that the ball with the radius R1 is an absorbing set for the dy- (), namical system XSt . Thus, Theorem 4.1 is proved.

Exercise 4.2 Show that the dynamical system generated in R by the diffe- \ rential equation x + fx()= 0 (see Example 1.1) is dissipative, pro- vided the function fx() possesses the property: xf() x ³ dx2 - C , where d > 0 and CUx are constants (Hint: ()= x2 ). Find an up- per estimate for the minimal radius of dissipativity.

Exercise 4.3 Consider a discrete dynamical system ()R, f n , where f is a continuous function on R . Show that the system ()R, f is dissi- pative, provided there exist r > 0 and 0 < r . 26 Basic Concepts of the Theory of Infinite-Dimensional Dynamical Systems

Here a and k are positive parameters. Prove that the discrete dyna- mical system ()Ц , Tn is dissipative, provided 0 <

In the proof of the existence of global attractors of infinite-dimensional dissipative dynamical systems a great role is played by the property of asymptotic compactness. For the sake of simplicity let us assume that X is a closed subset of a Banach space. (), The dynamical system XSt is said to be asymptotically compact if for any > t 0 its evolutionary operator St can be expressed by the form = ()1 + ()2 St St St ,(4.5) ()1 ()2 where the mappings St and St possess the properties: Dissipativity and Asymptotic Compactness 27

a) for any bounded set BX in ()= ()1 ® ® ¥ rB t supSt y 0 , t + ; yBÎ X

b) for any bounded set BX in there exists t0 such that the set

[]g()2 ()= ()2 t B È St B (4.6) 0 ³ tt0 is compact in X , where []g is the closure of the set g . A dynamical system is said to be compact if it is asymptotically compact and ()1 º one can take St 0 in representation (4.5). It becomes clear that any finite-di- mensional dissipative system is compact.

Exercise 4.9 Show that condition (4.6) is fulfilled if there exists a compact ()2 Ì set KH in such that for any bounded set B the inclusion St BK , ³ () tt0 B holds. In particular, a dissipative system is compact if it possesses a compact absorbing set.

Lemma 4.1. (), The dynamical system XSt is asymptotically compact if there exists a compact set K such that {}(), Î = limsup distSt uK : uB 0 (4.7) t ® ¥ for any set BX bounded in .

Proof. The distance to a compact set is reached on some element. Hence, for any > Î º ()2 Î t 0 and uX there exists an element vSt u K such that (), = - ()2 dist St uK St uSt u . ()1 = - ()2 Therefore, if we take St uSt uSt u , it is easy to see that in this case de- composition (4.5) satisfies all the requirements of the definition of asymptotic compactness.

Remark 4.1. In most applications Lemma 4.1 plays a major role in the proof of the property of asymptotic compactness. Moreover, in cases when the phase (), space XXS of the dynamical system t does not possess the structure of a linear space it is convenient to define the notion of the asymptotic (), compactness using equation (4.7). Namely, the system XSt is said to be asymptotically compact if there exists a compact K possessing property (4.7) for any bounded set BX in . For one more approach to the definition of this concept see Exercise 5.1 below. 28 Basic Concepts of the Theory of Infinite-Dimensional Dynamical Systems

§ 5 Theorems on Existence of Global AAttttractortractor

For the sake of simplicity it is assumed in this section that the phase space X is a Banach space, although the main results are valid for a wider class of spaces (see, e. g., Exercise 5.8). The following assertion is the main result.

Theorem 5.1. (), Assume that a dynamical system XSt is dissipative and asymptoti- (), cally compact. Let BXS be a bounded absorbing set of the system t . Then the set A = w()B is a nonempty compact set and is a global attractor of the (), dynamical system XSt . The attractor AX is a connected set in .

In particular, this theorem is applicable to the dynamical systems from Exercises 4.2–4.11. It should also be noted that Theorem 5.1 along with Lemma 4.1 gives the following criterion: a dissipative dynamical system possesses a compact global at- tractor if and only if it is asymptotically compact. The proof of the theorem is based on the following lemma. Theorems on Existence of Global Attractor 29

Lemma 5.1. (), Let a dynamical system XSt be asymptotically compact. Then for any bounded set BX of the ww-limit set ()B is a nonempty compact invariant set.

Proof. () Let y ÎB . Then for any sequence {}t tending to infinity the set {S 2 y , n n tn n n =}12,,¼ is relatively compact, i.e. there exist a sequence n and an ele- () k ment yXÎ such that S 2 y tends to yk as ® ¥ . Hence, the asymptotic tn nk compactness gives us that k - £ ()1 + - ()2 ® ® ¥ ySt yn St yn ySt yn 0 ask . nk k nk k nk k =w() Thus, ySlim t yn . Due to Lemma 2.1 this indicates that B is non- k ® ¥ n k empty. k Let us prove the invariance of w -limit set. Let y Î w ()B . Then according {} ® ¥ {}Ì to Lemma 2.1 there exist sequences tn , tn , and zn B such that S z ® y . However, the mapping S is continuous. Therefore, tn n t S + z = S ° S z ® S y , n ® ¥ . ttn n t tn n t Î w() Lemma 2.1 implies that St y B . Thus, w()Ì w() > St B B , t 0 . Let us prove the reverse inclusion. Let y Î w()B . Then there exist sequences {}v Ì B and {}t : t ® ¥ such that S v ® y . Let us consider the se- n n n tn n quence y = S v , t ³ t . The asymptotic compactness implies that there n tn- t n n exist a subsequence t and an element zXÎ such that nk = ()2 zSlim t - t yn . k ® ¥ nk k As stated above, this gives us that = zSlim t - t yn . k ® ¥ nk k Therefore, z Î w()B . Moreover, === St zSlim t ° St - t vn lim St vn y . k ® ¥ nk k k ® ¥ nk k Îww() () Hence, ySt B . Thus, the invariance of the set B is proved. w() {} Let us prove the compactness of the set B . Assume that zn is a se- w() ³ quence in B . Then Lemma 2.1 implies that for any nt we can find n n and y Î B such that z - S y £ 1¤ n . As said above, the property of asymp- n n tn n {} totic compactness enables us to find an element zn and a sequence k such that

St y - z ® 0, k ® ¥ . nk nk 30 Basic Concepts of the Theory of Infinite-Dimensional Dynamical Systems

C This implies that z Î w()B and z ®wz . This means that ()B is a closed and h nk a compact set in H . Lemma 5.1 is proved completely. p t e Now we establish Theorem 5.1. Let B be a bounded absorbing set of the dynamical r system. Let us prove that w()B is a global attractor. It is sufficient to verify that 1 w()B uniformly attracts the absorbing set B . Assume the contrary. Then the value {}(), w() Î ® ¥ sup dist St y B : yB does not tend to zero as t . This means that d > {}® ¥ there exist 0 and a sequence tn : tn such that ìü supíýdist ()S y, w()B : yBÎ ³ 2 d . îþtn Î Therefore, there exists an element yn B such that dist ()S y , w()B ³ d, n = 12,,¼ .(5.1) tn n As before, a convergent subsequence {}S y can be extracted from the sequence tn nk {}S y . Therewith Lemma 2.1 implies k tn n ºwÎ () zSlim t yn B k ® ¥ nk k which contradicts estimate (5.1). Thus, w()B is a global attractor. Its compactness follows from the easily verifiable relation º w()= ()2 A B Ç Ç St B . t > 0 t ³ t Let us prove the connectedness of the attractor by reductio ad absurdum. Assume

that the attractor AU is not a connected set. Then there exists a pair of open sets 1 and U2 such that Çƹ = , Ì È ÇÆ= Ui A , i 12 ,AU1 U2 ,U1 U2 . Let Ac = conv ()A be a convex hull of the set A , i.e.

ìüN N c = l Î l ³ l ==, ,,¼ A íýå i vi : vi A , i 0, å i 1 N 12 . îþ i = 1 i = 1 It is clear that Ac is a bounded connected set and Ac É A . The continuity of the c = Ì c mapping St implies that the set St A is also connected. Therewith ASt A St A . ÇÆc ¹ = , > Therefore, Ui St A , i 12 . Hence, for any t 0 the pair U1 , U2 cannot c = Î c cover St A . It follows that there exists a sequence of points xn Sn yn Sn A Ï È such that xn U1 U2 . The asymptotic compactness of the dynamical system enables us to extract a subsequence {}n such that x = S y tends in X to an k nk nk nk ® ¥ Ï È Î w()c element yk as . It is clear that yU1 U2 and y A . These equations w()c Ì w()= Ì È contradict one another since A B AU1 U2 . Therefore, Theorem 5.1 is proved completely. Theorems on Existence of Global Attractor 31

It should be noted that the connectedness of the global attractor can also be proved without using the linear structure of the phase space (do it yourself).

Exercise 5.1 Show that the assumption of asymptotic compactness in Theo- rem 5.1 can be replaced by the Ladyzhenskaya assumption: the se- quence {}S u contains a convergent subsequence for any tn n {}Ì bounded sequence un X and for any increasing sequence {}Ì ® ¥ tn T+ such that tn + . Moreover, the Ladyzhenskaya as- sumption is equivalent to the condition of asymptotic compactness. (), Exercise 5.2 Assume that a dynamical system XSt possesses a compact global attractor AA . Let * be a minimal closed set with the property (), * = Î limdist St yA 0 for everyyX . t ® ¥ Then A* Ì A and A* = È{}w()x : xXÎ , i.e. A* coincides with the global minimal attractor (cf. Exercise 3.4).

Exercise 5.3 Assume that equation (4.7) holds. Prove that the global at- tractor A possesses the property A = w()K Ì K .

Exercise 5.4 Assume that a dissipative dynamical system possesses a glo- bal attractor A . Show that A = w ()B for any bounded absorbing set B of the system.

The fact that the global attractor A has the form A = w()B , where B is an absorb- ing set of the system, enables us to state that the set St B not only tends to the at- tractor At , but is also uniformly distributed over it as ® ¥ . Namely, the following assertion holds.

Then it is clear that {}z Ì B and t B n tm - t m n e n n n r == aSlim t ym lim St zn . n ® ¥ mn n n ® ¥ n 1 Equation (5.3) implies that dist()a , S z ³³dist()a , S B d . n tn n n tn This contradicts the previous equation. Theorem 5.2 is proved.

For a description of convergence of the trajectories to the global attractor it is con- venient to use the Hausdorff metric that is defined on subsets of the phase space by the formula r ()CD, = max{}hCD(), ; hDC(), ,(5.4) where CD, Î X and hCD(), = sup {}dist ()cD, : cCÎ .(5.5) Theorems 5.1 and 5.2 give us the following assertion.

Corollary 5.1. (), Let XSt be an asymptotically compact dissipative system. Then its global attractor A possesses the property limr ()S BA, = 0 for any t ® ¥ t (), bounded absorbing set BXS of the system t .

In particular, this corollary means that for any e > 0 there exists te > 0 such that > e for every tte the set St B gets into the -vicinity of the global attractor A ; e and vice versa, the attractor A lies in the -vicinity of the set St BB . Here is a bounded absorbing set. The following theorem shows that in some cases we can get rid of the require- ment of asymptotic compactness if we use the notion of the global weak attractor.

Theorem 5.3. (), Let the phase space HHS of a dynamical system t be a separable (), Hilbert space. Assume that the system HSt is dissipative and its evolu- > tionary operator St is weakly closed, i.e. for all t 0 the weak convergence y ® y and S y ® z imply that zS= y . Then the dynamical system n t n t (), HSt possesses a global weak attractorattractor..

The proof of this theorem basically repeats the reasonings used in the proof of Theo- rem 5.1. The weak compactness of bounded sets in a separable Hilbert space plays the main role instead of the asymptotic compactness. Theorems on Existence of Global Attractor 33

Lemma 5.2. Assume that the hypotheses of Theorem 5.3 hold. For BHÌ we define ww() the weak -limit set w B by the formula w ()= () w B Ç È St B , (5.6) s ³ 0 ts³ w [] where Y w is the weak closure of the set Y . Then for any bounded set Ìw() BH the set w B is a nonempty weakly closed bounded invariant set.

Proof. The dissipativity implies that each of the sets gs ()B = []S ()B is w Èts³ t w bounded and therefore weakly compact. Then the Cantor theorem on the col- lection of nested compact sets gives us that w ()B = gs ()B is a non- w Çs ³ 0 w Î w () empty weakly closed bounded set. Let us prove its invariance. Let y w B . Then there exists a sequence y Î S ()B such that y ® y weakly. The n Ètn³ t n {} dissipativity property implies that the set St yn is bounded when t is large {} enough. Therefore, there exist a subsequence yn and an element z such ® ® k that yn y and St yn z weakly. The weak closedness of St implies that = k Îkgs () ³ Î gs () zSt y . Since St yn w B for nk s , we have that z w B for all s . Î w () k w ()Ì w() Hence, z w B . Therefore, St w B w B . The proof of the reverse inclusion is left to the reader as an exercise.

For the proof of Theorem 5.3 it is sufficient to show that the set = w () Aw w B , (5.7) (), where BHS is a bounded absorbing set of the system t , is a global weak attractor for the system. To do that it is sufficient to verify that the set B is uniformly attract- = w () ed to Aw w B in the weak topology of the space H . Assume the contrary. Then O {}Ì { ® there exist a weak vicinity of the set Aw and sequences yn B and tn : tn ®}¥ such that S y Ï O . However, the set {}S y is weakly compact. There- tn n tn n Ï O {} fore, there exist an element z and a sequence nk such that = - zwlim St yn . k ® ¥ nk k s s However, St y Î g ()B for t ³ s . Thus, z Î g ()B for all s ³ 0 and z Î nk nk w nk w Î w () w B , which is impossible. Theorem 5.3 is proved.

In conclusion to this section, we give one more assertion on the existence of the global attractor in the form of exercises. This assertion uses the notion of the asymptotic (), smoothness (see [3] and [9]).

§ 6 On the Structure of Global Attractor

The study of the structure of global attractor of a dynamical system is an important problem from the point of view of applications. There are no universal approaches to this problem. Even in finite-dimensional cases the attractor can be of complicated structure. However, some sets that undoubtedly belong to the attractor can be poin- On the Structure of Global Attractor 35

ted out. It should be first noted that every stationary point of the semigroup St be- longs to the attractor of the system. We also have the following assertion.

Lemma 6.1. Assume that an element zA lies in the global attractor of a dynamical (), g system XSt . Then the point z belongs to some trajectory that lies in A wholly.

Proof. = Î {}Ì Since St AA and zA , then there exists a sequence zn A such = = = ,,¼ that z0 z ,S1zn zn -1 ,n 12 . Therewith for discrete time the re- g = {}Î = ³ = quired trajectory is un : n Z , where un Sn z for n 0 and un = £ z-n for n 0 . For continuous time let us consider the value , ³ ì St z t 0, ut()= í , - ££- + , = ,,¼ î Stn+ zn nt n1 n 12

Then it is clear that ut()Î A for all t Î R and St ut()=tut()+ t for ³ 0 , t Î R . Therewith u ()0 = z . Thus, the required trajectory is also built in the continuous case.

Exercise 6.1 Show that an element z belongs to a global attractor if and only if there exists a bounded trajectory g = {}ut(): -¥ <

Unstable sets also belong to the global attractor. Let Y be a subset of the phase (), space XXS of the dynamical system t . Then the unstable set emanating () Î from Y is defined as the set M+ Y of points zX for every of which there exists a trajectory g = {}ut(): t Î T such that u ()0 ==zut, lim dist ()(), Y 0 . t ® -¥

() ()= () Exercise 6.2 Prove that M+ Y is invariant, i.e. St M+ Y M+ Y for all t > 0 .

Lemma 6.2. N (), Let be a set of stationary points of the dynamical system XSt ()N Ì possessing a global attractor A . Then M+ A .

Proof. N = {}= , > It is obvious that the set z : St zz t 0 lies in the attractor Î ()N of the system and thus it is bounded. Let z M+ . Then there exists a tra- g = {}(), Î ()= jectory z ut t T such that u 0 z and dist()u()t , N ® 0, t¥® - . 36 Basic Concepts of the Theory of Infinite-Dimensional Dynamical Systems

C = {}()t t £ - > h Therefore, the set Bs u : s is bounded when s 0 is large a ® ¥ enough. Hence, the set St Bs tends to the attractor of the system as t + . p Î ³ t However, zSt Bs for ts . Therefore, e r (), £ {}(), Î ® , ® ¥ dist zA sup dist St yA: yBs 0 t + . 1 This implies that zAÎ . The lemma is proved.

Exercise 6.3 Assume that the set N of stationary points is finite. Show that l ()N = () M+ È M+ zk , k = 1 () where zk are the stationary points of St (the set M+ zk is called an unstable manifold emanating from the stationary point zk ). ()N Thus, the global attractor A includes the unstable set M+ . It turns out that un- der certain conditions the attractor includes nothing else. We give the following defi- Ì > nition. Let YS be a positively invariant set of a semigroup t : StYY , t 0 . The continuous functional D()y defined on Y is called the Lyapunov function of the (), dynamical system XSt on Y if the following conditions hold: ÎD() a) for any yY the function St y is a nonincreasing function with re- spect to t ³ 0 ; > ÎD()= D() b) if for some t0 0 and yX the equation y St y holds, then = ³ 0 ySt y for all t 0 , i.e. yS is a stationary point of the semigroup t .

Theorem 6.1. (), Let a dynamical system XSt possess a compact attractor A. Assume D() = ()N also that the Lyapunov function y exists on AA. Then M+ , where N is the set of stationary points of the dynamical system.

Proof. Let yAÎg . Let us consider a trajectory passing through y (its existence fol- lows from Lemma 6.1). Let – g =g{}ut(): t Î T andt = {}ut(): t £ t . – – Since gt ÌgA , the closure []t is a compact set in X . This implies that the a -limit set ag()= [] g– Ç t t < 0 of the trajectory gag is nonempty. It is easy to verify that the set () is invariant: ag()=D ag() () ag() St . Let us show that the Lyapunov function y is constant on . Î ag() {}- ¥ Indeed, if u , then there exists a sequence tn tending to such that On the Structure of Global Attractor 37

lim ut()= u . ® -¥ n tn Consequently, D()u = lim D()ut(). n ® ¥ n By virtue of monotonicity of the function D()u along the trajectory we have D()u = sup {} D()u ()t : t < 0 . Therefore, the function D()u is constant on ag() . Hence, the invariance of the set ag() D()D= () > Îagag() () gives us that St u u , t 0 for all u . This means that lies in the set N of stationary points. Therewith (verify it yourself) limdist()ut(), ag() = 0 . t ® -¥ Î ()N Hence, y M+ . Theorem 6.1 is proved.

Exercise 6.4 Assume that the hypotheses of Theorem 6.1 hold. Then for any element yAÎw its -limit set w()y consists of stationary points of the system.

Thus, the global attractor coincides with the set of all full trajectories connecting the stationary points.

(), Exercise 6.5 Assume that the system XSt possesses a compact global attractor and there exists a Lyapunov function on X . Assume that the Lyapunov function is bounded below. Show that any semitrajec- tory of the system tends to the set N of stationary points of the sys- tem as t ® + ¥ , i.e. the global minimal attractor coincides with the set N .

In particular, this exercise confirms the fact realized by many investigators that the global attractor is a too wide object for description of actually observed limit regimes of a dynamical system.

Exercise 6.6 Assume that ()R, S is a dynamical system generated by the t \ logistic equation (see Example 1.1): x + a xx()-1 = 0, a > 0 . Show that Vx()= x3 ¤ 3 - x2 ¤ 2 is a Lyapunov function for this sys- tem.

Exercise 6.7 Show that the total energy \ \ Ex(), x = 1 x2 + 1 x4 - a x2 - bx 2 4 2 is a Lyapunov function for the dynamical system generated (see Example 1.2) by the Duffing equation \\ \ x ++e x x3 - ax =eb , > 0 . 38 Basic Concepts of the Theory of Infinite-Dimensional Dynamical Systems

C h If in the definition of a Lyapunov functional we omit the second requirement, then a a minor modification of the proof of Theorem 6.1 enables us to get the following as- p t sertion. e r Theorem 6.2. 1 (), Assume that a dynamical system XSt possesses a compact global at- tractor A and there exists a continuous function Y()y on X such that Y() Î L St y does not increase with respect to tyX for any . Let be a set of elements uAÎY such that ()Yut() =¥()u for all - <

Proof. ()L = In fact, the property M+ A was established in the proof of Theorem 6.1. As to the property A* ÌYL , it follows from the constancy of the function ()u on the ww -limit set ()x of any element xXÎ .

Exercise 6.8 Apply Theorem 6.2 to justify the results of Example 3.1 (see also Exercise 4.8).

N (), If the set of stationary points of a dynamical system XSt is finite, then Theo- rem 6.1 can be extended a little. This extension is described below in Exercises 6.9– (), 6.12. In these exercises it is assumed that the dynamical system XSt is continu- ous and possesses the following properties: (a) there exists a compact global attractor A ; (b) there exists a Lyapunov function D()x on A ; N =D{}, ¼ ()¹ (c) the set z1 zN of stationary points is finite, therewith zi ¹ D() ¹ zj for ij and the indexing of zj possesses the property D()<<< D() ¼ D() z1 z2 zN .(6.1) We denote j = () = ,,¼ , = Æ Aj È M+ zk , j 12 N ,A0 . k = 1

It can also be shown (see the book by A. V. Babin and M. I. Vishik [1]) that under some additional conditions on the evolutionary operator St the unstable manifolds () 1 M+ zj are surfaces of the class C , therewith the facts given in Exercises 6.9–6.12 remain true if strict inequalities are substituted by nonstrict ones in (6.1). It should be noted that a global attractor possessing the properties mentioned above is fre- quently called regular. Let us give without proof one more result on the attractor of a system with a fi- nite number of stationary points and a Lyapunov function. This result is important for applications. At first let us remind several definitions. Let S be an operator acting in a Ba- nach space XS . The operator is called Frechét differentiable at a point xXÎ provided that there exists a linear bounded operator S ¢()x : XX® such that Sy()- Sx()-gS¢()x ()yx- £ ()xy- xy- for all y from some vicinity of the point x, where gx()®x0 as ® 0 . Therewith, the operator SC is said to belong to the class 1+ a, 0 < 1 is finite-dimen- sional.

The proof of this theorem as well as other interesting results on the asymptotic be- haviour of a dynamical system possessing a Lyapunov function can be found in the book by A. V. Babin and M. I. Vishik [1]. To conclude this section, we consider a finite-dimensional example that shows how the Lyapunov function method can be used to prove the existence of periodic trajectories in the attractor.

Example 6.1 (on the theme by E. Hopf) Studying Galerkin approximations in a model suggested by E. Hopf for the de- scription of possible mechanisms of turbulence appearence, we obtain the fol- lowing system of ordinary differential equations \ ì u +++m uv2 w2 = 0, (6.4) ï \ í v + n vvu-b- w = 0, (6.5) ï \ î w ++n wwu-bv = 0. (6.6) Here mnb is a positive parameter, and are real parameters. It is clear that the Cauchy problem for (6.4)–(6.6) is solvable, at least locally for any initial condi- tion. Let us show that the dynamical system generated by equations (6.4)–(6.6) is dissipative. It will also be sufficient for the proof of global solvability. Let us introduce a new unknown function u* = u + m¤n2 - . Then equations (6.4)– (6.6) can be rewritten in the form

ì \ æöm ï u* +++mm u* v2 w2 =  - n , ï èø2 ï \ í v + 1 m vvu-b* - w = 0, ï 2 ï \ ï w ++1 m wwu-b* v = 0. î 2

These equations imply that

2 2 2 2 m 2 2 æöm 1 d ()mu* ++v w ++u*  ()mv + w =  - n u* 2 dt 2 èø2 on any interval of existence of solutions. Hence, 2 æö2 2 2 2 2 2 æöm d ()u* ++v w +mm ()u* ++v w £  - n . dt èø èø2 On the Structure of Global Attractor 41

Thus, u*()t 2 ++vt()2 wt()2 £ 2 æö2 2 2 æöm -m £ u*()0 ++v()0 w()0 e-m t +  - n ()1 -e t . èøèø2

Firstly, this equation enables us to prove the global solvability of problem (6.4)– (6.6) for any initial condition and, secondly, it means that the set ìüm 2 m 2 = (),, æö+  - n ++2 2 £ + æö - n B0 íýuvw: èøu v w 1 èø îþ2 2 ()3, is absorbing for the dynamical system R St generated by the Cauchy prob- lem for equations (6.4)–(6.6). Thus, Theorem 5.1 guarantees the existence of a global attractor A . It is a connected compact set in R3 .

()3, Exercise 6.13 Verify that B0 is a positively invariant set for R St .

In order to describe the structure of the global attractor A we introduce the polar coordinates vt()= rt()cos j()t ,wt()= rt()sin j()t on the plane of the variables {}vw; . As a result, equations (6.4)–(6.6) are trans- formed into the system \ ì u ++m ur2 = 0, (6.7) í \ î r + n rur- = 0, (6.8) j()= -j b + { = , therewith, t t 0 . System (6.7) and (6.8) has a stationary point u 0 r =}0 for all m>n0 and ÎnR . If < 0 , then one more stationary point {u = n, r =}-mn occurs in system (6.7) and (6.8). It corresponds to a periodic trajectory of the original problem (6.4)–(6.6).

Exercise 6.14 Show that the point ()00; is a stable node of system (6.7) and (6.8) when n >n0 and it is a saddle when < 0 .

Exercise 6.15 Show that the stationary point {}u ==n,mnr - is stable m (n 0 , then (6.7) and (6.8) imply that

1 d u2 + r2 + min ()mn, ()u2 + r2 £ 0 . 2 dt Therefore, - ()mn, ut()2 + rt()2 £ u()0 2 + r()0 2 e 2min t . 42 Basic Concepts of the Theory of Infinite-Dimensional Dynamical Systems

C n > ()3, h Hence, for 0 the global attractor A of the system R St consists of the single a stationary exponentially attracting point p t {}u ==0, v 0, w =0 . e r Exercise 6.16 Prove that for n = 0 the global attractor of problem (6.4)– 1 (6.6) consists of the single stationary point {}u = 0, v ==0, w 0 . Show that it is not exponentially attracting.

Now we consider the case n < 0 . Let us again refer to problem (6.7) and (6.8). It is clear that the line r = 0 is a stable manifold of the stationary point {}u ==0, r 0 . ()> () Moreover, it is obvious that if rt0 0 , then the value rt remains positive for all > tt0 . Therefore, the function Vu(), r = 1 ()u - n 2 ++1 r2 mn ln r (6.9) 2 2 is defined on all the trajectories, the initial point of which does not lie on the line {}r = 0 . Simple calculations show that

d ()mVut()(), rt() + ()ut()- n2 = 0 (6.10) dt and æö2 2 Vu(), r ³ V()nmn, - + 1 u - n + r - -mn ;(6.11) 2 èø therewith, V()nmn, - = ()mn12¤ ln()e¤ ()mn . Equation (6.10) implies that the function Vu(), r does not increase along the trajectories. Therefore, any semi- {}()(); (), Î {}, ; ¹ trajectory ut rt t R+ emanating from the point u0 r0 r0 0 of ()´ , the system RR+ St generated by equations (6.7) and (6.8) possesses the ()(), () £ (), ³ property Vut rt Vu0 r0 for t 0 . Therewith, equation (6.9) implies that this semitrajectory can not approach the line {}r = 0 at a distance less then {}[]¤ ()mn × (), = { = n, exp 1 Vu0 r0 . Hence, this semitrajectory tends to yu r =}-mn . Moreover, for any x Î R the set

In particular, the observations above mean that the global minimal attractor ()3, Amin of the dynamical system R St generated by equations (6.4)–(6.6) consists of the saddle point {}u ==0, v 0, w =0 and the stable limit cycle 2 2 Cn = {}u ==n,mn v + w - (6.13) for n < 0 . Therewith, equation (6.12) implies that the cycle Cn uniformly attracts all bounded sets B in R3 possessing the property dvº inf{}2 + w2 : ()uvw,, Î B > 0 ,(6.14) i.e. which lie at a positive distance from the line {}v ==0, w 0 .

§ 7 Stability Properties of Attractor and Reduction Principle

(), A positively invariant set MXS in the phase space of a dynamical system t is said to be stable (in Lyapunov’s sense) in X if its every vicinity O contains some O ¢ ()O ¢ Ì O ³ vicinity such that St for all t 0 . Therewith, M is said to be asymp- ® ® ¥ Î O ¢ totically stable if it is stable and St yM as t for every y . A set M is called uniformly asymptotically stable if it is stable and {}(), Î O ¢ = limsup distSt yM : y 0 . (7.1) t ® ¥ The following simple assertion takes place.

Theorem 7.1. Let A be the compact global attractor of a continuous dynamical sys- (), tem XSt . Assume that there exists its bounded vicinity U such that the (), ® ´ mapping tu St u is continuous on R+ U. Then A is a stable set.

Proof. O > Ì O Assume that is a vicinity of AT . Then there exists 0 such that St U for tT³ . Let us show that there exists a vicinity O ¢ of the attractor A such that O ¢ Ì O Î [], {} St for all t 0 T . Assume the contrary. Then there exist sequences un and {}t such that dist()u , A ® 0 , {}t Î[]0, T and S u ÏO . The set A being n n n tn n compact, we can choose a subsequence {}n such that u ® u Î A as t ® k nk nk ® Î [], (), ® t 0 T . Therefore, the continuity property of the function tu St u gives us that St u ® S u Î A . This contradicts the equation S u ÏO . Thus, nk nk t tn n O ¢ O ¢ Ì O Î [], there exists such that St for t 0 T . We can choose T such that ()O ¢ Ç Ì O ³ St U for all t 0 . Therefore, the attractor A is stable. Theorem 7.1 is proved.

It is clear that the stability of the global attractor implies its uniform asymptotic stability.

Exercise 7.1 Assume that M is a positively invariant set of a system (), Ï XSt . Prove that if there exists an element yM such that its aa-limit set ()y possesses the property a()y ÇÆM ¹ , then M is not stable. 46 Basic Concepts of the Theory of Infinite-Dimensional Dynamical Systems

C h In particular, the result of this exercise shows that the global minimal attractor can a appear to be an unstable set. p t e Exercise 7.2 Let us return to Example 3.1 (see also Exercises 4.8 and 6.8). r Show that: 1 (a) the global attractor A1 and the Milnor attractor A4 are stable;

(b) the global minimal attractor A3 and the Ilyashenko at- tractor A5 are unstable.

Now let us consider the question concerning the stability of the attractor with re- spect to perturbations of a dynamical system. Assume that we have a family of dy- (), l namical systems XSt with the same phase space X and with an evolutionary l l operator St depending on a parameter which varies in a complete metric space L . The following assertion was proved by L. V. Kapitansky and I. N. Kostin [6].

Theorem 7.2. (), l Assume that a dynamical system XSt possesses a compact global at- tractor Al for every lLÎ . Assume that the following conditions hold: (a) there exists a compact KXÌ such that Al ÌlLK for all Î ; l l (b) if l ® l , x Î A k and x ® x , then S k x ® S x for some k 0 k k 0 t k t0 0 > 0 t0 0 . l l Then the family of aattttttractorsractors A is upper semicontinuous at the point 0 , i.e. l l l l hA()k, A 0 º sup {}dist ()yA, 0 : yAÎ k ® 0 (7.2) l ® l as k 0 .

Proof. Assume that equation (7.2) does not hold. Then there exist a sequence l ® l l k ® l Î k (), 0 ³dd > 0 and a sequence xk A such that dist xk A for some 0 . But the sequence x lies in the compact K . Therefore, without loss of generality we can k l ® Î Î Ï 0 assume that xk x0 K for some x0 K and x0 A . Let us show that this re- sult leads to contradiction. Let g = {}u ()t :–¥ < where u0 x0 . Here t0 0 is a fixed number. Sequential application of condition (b) gives us that Stability Properties of Attractor and Reduction Principle 47

Theorem 7.2 is proved. ll® Exercise 7.3 Following L. V. Kapitansky and I. N. Kostin [6], for 0 ()l L l L define the upper limit A 0 ; of the attractors A along by the equality

Theorem 7.2 embraces only the upper semicontinuity of the family of attractors {}Al . In order to prove their continuity (in the Hausdorff metric defined by equation (5.4)), additional conditions should be imposed on the family of dynamical systems (), l XSt . For example, the following assertion proved by A. V. Babin and M. I. Vishik l l concerning the power estimate of the deviation of the attractors A and A 0 in the Hausdorff metric holds.

Theorem 7.3. (), l Assume that a dynamical system XSt possesses a global attractor Al for every lLÎ .

It should be noted that condition (7.3) in Theorem 7.3 is quite strong. It can be veri- fied only for a definite class of systems possessing the Lyapunov function (see Theo- rem 6.3). In the theory of dynamical systems an important role is also played by the no- tion of the Poisson stability. A trajectory g = {}ut(): -¥ <

Exercise 7.4 Show that any Poisson stable trajectory is contained in the global minimal attractor if the latter exists.

Exercise 7.5 A trajectory g is Poisson stable if and only if any point x of this trajectory is recurrent, i.e. for any vicinity O ' x there exists > Î O t 0 such that St x .

The following exercise testifies to the fact that not only periodic (and stationary) tra- jectories can be Poisson stable.

() Exercise 7.6 Let Cb R be a Banach space of continuous functions boun- ()(), ded on the real axis. Let us consider a dynamical system Cb R St with the evolutionary operator defined by the formula ()()=,()+ ()Î () St f x fx t fx Cb R . ()= w + w Show that the element f0 x sin 1 x sin 2 x is recurrent for w w w ¤ w any real 1 and 2 (in particular, when 1 2 is an irrational g = {}()+ -¥ <<¥ number). Therewith the trajectory f0 xt: t is Poisson stable.

In conclusion to this section we consider a theorem that is traditionally associated with the stability theory. Sometimes this theorem enables us to significantly decrease the dimension of the phase space, this fact being very important for the study of infi- nite-dimensional systems.

Theorem 7.4. (reduction principle). (), Assume that in a dissipative dynamical system XSt there exists a positively invariant locally compact set M possessing the property of uniform attraction, i.e. for any bounded set BXÌ the equation 50 Basic Concepts of the Theory of Infinite-Dimensional Dynamical Systems

C (), = h limsup dist St yM 0 (7.10) a t ® ¥ yBÎ p (), t holds. Let A be a global attractor of the dynamical system MSt . Then A e is also a global attractor of ()XS, . r is also a global attractor of t .

1 Proof. It is sufficient to verify that (), = limsup dist St yA 0 (7.11) t ® ¥ yBÎ for any bounded set BXÌ . Assume that there exists a set B such that (7.11) does {}Ì {}® ¥ not hold. Then there exist sequences yn B and tn : tn such that dist()S y , A ³ d (7.12) tn n d > (), for some 0 . Let B0 be a bounded absorbing set of XSt . We choose a moment t0 such that ìüd (), Î Ç £  sup íýdist St yA: yMB0 .(7.13) îþ0 2 (), This choice is possible because AMS is a global attractor of t . Equation (7.10) implies that

dist()S - y , M ® 0, t ® ¥ . tn t0 n n

The dissipativity property of ()XS, gives us that S - y Î B when n is large t tn t0 n 0 enough. Therefore, local compactness of the set M guarantees the existence of an Î Ç {} element zMB0 and a subsequence nk such that = zSlim t - t yn . k ® ¥ nk 0 k

This implies that St y ® St z . Therefore, equation (7.12) gives us that nk nk 0 dist()S zA, ³ d . By virtue of the fact that zMBÎ Ç this contradicts equation t0 0 (7.13). Theorem 7.4 is proved.

Example 7.1 We consider a system of ordinary differential equations ì \ y + y3 - y = yz2, y = y , ï t = 0 0 í \ (7.14) ï z + z ()1+ y2 ==0, z z . î t = 0 0 (), It is obvious that for any initial condition y0 z0 problem (7.14) is uniquely (), *(), solvable over some interval 0 t y0 z0 . If we multiply the first equation by yz and the second equation by and if we sum the results obtained, then we get that Stability Properties of Attractor and Reduction Principle 51

This implies that any solution to problem (7.14) can be extended to the whole ()2, semiaxis R+ and the dynamical system R St generated by equation (7.14) is dissipative. Obviously, the set My= {}(), 0 : y Î R is positively invariant. Therewith the second equation in (7.14) implies that

1 d z2 + z2 £ 0 ,.t > 0 2 dt ()2 £ 2 -2 t Hence, zt z0 e . Thus, the set M exponentially attracts all the bound- ed sets in R2 . Consequently, Theorem 7.4 gives us that the global attractor of (), ()2, the dynamical system MSt is also the attractor of the system R St . But on the set M system of equations (7.14) is reduced to the differential equation \ y + y3 - y = 0, y = y .(7.15) t = 0 0 Thus, the global attractors of the dynamical systems generated by equations (7.14) and (7.15) coincide. Therewith the study of dynamics on the plane is re- duced to the investigation of the properties of the one-dimensional dynamical system.

Exercise 7.7 Show that the global attractor A of the dynamical system ()2, R St generated by equations (7.14) has the form Ayz= {}(), :1- ££y 1, z = 0 . Figure the qualitative behaviour of the trajectories on the plane.

Show that these equations generate a dissipative dynamical system in R2 . Verify that the set Myz= {(), : zy= 2 , y Î}R is invariant and exponentially attracting. Using Theorem 7.4, prove that the glo- bal attractor A of problem (7.16) has the form Ayz= {}(), : zy= 2, -1££y 1 . Hint: Consider the variable wzy= - 2 instead of the variable z . 52 Basic Concepts of the Theory of Infinite-Dimensional Dynamical Systems

C h § 8 Finite Dimensionality a p of Invariant Sets t e r 1 Finite dimensionality is an important property of the global attractor which can be established in many situations interesting for applications. There are several ap- proaches to the proof of this property. The simplest of them seems to be the one based on Ladyzhenskaya’s theorem on the finite dimensionality of the invariant set. However, it should be kept in mind that the estimates of dimension based on La- dyzhenskaya’s theorem usually turn out to be too overstated. Stronger estimates can be obtained on the basis of the approaches developed in the books by A. V. Babin and M. I. Vishik, and by R. Temam (see the references at the end of the chapter). Let MX be a compact set in a metric space . Then its fractal dimension is defined by (), e lnnM  dimf M = lim , e ® 0 ln()1¤ e where nM(), e is the minimal number of closed balls of the radius e which cover the set M . Let us illustrate this definition with the following examples.

Example 8.1 Let Ml be a segment of the length . It is evident that

l - 1 ££nM(), e l + 1 . 2e 2 e Therefore, l - 2 e l + 2 e ln1 + ln ££lnnM(), e ln1 + ln . e 2 e 2

Hence, dimf M = 1 , i.e. the fractal dimension coincides with the value of the standard geometric dimension.

Example 8.2 Let M be the Cantor set obtained from the segment []01, by the sequentual removal of the centre thirds. First we remove all the points between 13¤ and 23¤ . Then the centre thirds ()19¤ , 29¤ and ()79¤ , 89¤ of the two remaining segments []013, ¤ and []23¤ , 1 are deleted. After that the centre parts ()127¤ , 227¤ , ()727¤ , 827¤ , ()19¤ 27, 20¤ 27 and ()25¤ 27, 26¤ 27 of the four remaining segments []019, ¤ , []29¤ , 13¤ , []23¤ , 79¤ and []89¤ , 1 , respec- tively, are deleted. If we continue this process to infinity, we obtain the Cantor set M . Let us calculate its fractal dimension. First of all it should be noted that Finite Dimensionality of Invariant Sets 53

¥ = MJÇ k , k = 0 = [], = [], ¤ È []¤ , J0 01, J1 013 23 1 , = [], ¤ È []¤ , ¤ È []¤ , ¤ È []¤ , J2 019 29 13 23 79 89 1 k and so on. Each set Jk can be considered as a union of 2 segments of the length 3-k . In particular, the cardinality of the covering of the set M with the segment of the length 3-k equals to 2k . Therefore, k ln2 ln2 dimf M ==lim . k ® ¥ ln()23× k ln3 Thus, the fractal dimension of the Cantor set is not an integer (if a set possesses this property, it is called fractal).

It should be noted that the fractal dimension is often referred to as the metric order of a compact. This notion was first introduced by L. S. Pontryagin and L. G. Shnirel- man in 1932. It can be shown that any compact set with the finite fractal dimension is homeomorphic to a subset of the space Rd when d > 0 is large enough. To obtain the estimates of the fractal dimension the following simple assertion is useful.

Lemma 8.1. The following equality holds: (), e lnNM  dimf M = lim , e ® 0 ln()1¤ e where NM(), e is the cardinality of the minimal covering of the com- pact M with closed sets diameter of which does not exceed 2 e (the dia- meter of a set XdX is defined by the value ()= sup {}xy- : xy, ÎX ).

Proof. It is evident that NM(), e £ nM(), e . Since any set of the diameter d lies in a ball of the radius dnM , we have that (), 2 e £ NM(), e . These two inequa- lities provide us with the assertion of the lemma.

All the sets are expected to be compact in Exercises 8.1–8.4 given below.

Í £ Exercise 8.1 Prove that if M1 M2 , then dimf M1 dimf M2 . ()È £ {}; Exercise 8.2 Verify that dimf M1 M2 max dimf M1 dimf M2 . ´ Exercise 8.3 Assume that M1 M2 is a direct product of two sets. Then ()´ £ + dimf M1 M2 dimf M1 dimf M2 . 54 Basic Concepts of the Theory of Infinite-Dimensional Dynamical Systems

C h Exercise 8.4 Let g be a Lipschitzian mapping of one metric space into a ()£ p another. Then dimf gM dimf M . t e r The notion of the dimension by Hausdorff is frequently used in the theory of dynami- cal systems along with the fractal dimension. This notion can be defined as follows. 1 Let MXd be a compact set in . For positive and e we introduce the value ()d m ()Md,,e = inf å rj , where the infimum is taken over all the coverings of the set M with the balls of the £me (),,e radius rj . It is evident that Md is a monotone function with respect toe . Therefore, there exists m ()Md, ==lim m()Md,,e sup m ()Md,,e . e ® 0 e > 0 The Hausdorff dimension of the set M is defined by the value

dimH M = inf {}d : m ()Md, = 0 .

Exercise 8.5 Show that the Hausdorff dimension does not exceed the frac- tal one.

Exercise 8.6 Show that the fractal dimension coincides with the Hausdorff one in Example 8.1, the same is true for Example 8.2. ¥ Exercise 8.7 Assume that Ma= {} Ì , where a monotonically n n = 1 R n tends to zero.

Exercise 8.10 Find the fractal and Hausdorff dimensions of the global mini- mal attractor of the dynamical system in R generated by the diffe- rential equation \ y + y sin1 = 0 . y

The facts presented in Exercises 8.7–8.9 show that the notions of the fractal and Hausdorff dimensions do not coincide. The result of Exercise 8.5 enables us to re- strict ourselves to the estimates of the fractal dimension when proving the finite di- mensionality of a set. Finite Dimensionality of Invariant Sets 55

The main assertion of this section is the following variant of Ladyzhenskaya’s theorem. It will be used below in the proof of the finite dimensionality of global at- tractors of a number of infinite-dimensional systems generated by partial differential equations.

Theorem 8.1. Assume that MHVis a compact set in a Hilbert space . Let be a contin- uous mapping in HVM such that ()É M. Assume that there exists a finite- dimensional projector PH in the space such that ()- £ - , Î PVv1 Vv2 lv1 v2 ,,,v1 v2 M , (8.1) ()- ()d- £ - , Î 1 P Vv1 Vv2 v1 v2 ,,,v1 v2 M , (8.2) where d < 1 . We also assume that l ³ 1 - d . Then the compact M possesses a finite fractal dimension and 9 l 2 -1 dim M £ dim P ××ln ln . (8.3) f 1- d 1+ d

We remind that a projector in a space HP is defined as a bounded operator with the property P2 = P . A projector PPH is said to be finite-dimensional if the image is a finite-dimensional subspace. The dimension of a projector P is defined as a num- ber dimP º dim PH . The following lemmata are used in the proof of Theorem 8.1.

Lemma 8.2. d Let BR be a ball of the radius R in R . Then d (), e ££(), e æö+ 2R NBR nBR èø1 e . (8.4) Proof. Estimate (8.4) is self-evident when e ³eR . Assume that < R . Let {}x ,,¼x x -ex > ¹ 1 l be a maximal set in BR with the property i j , ij . Îx By virtue of its maximality for every xBR there exists i such that -ex £ (), e £ x i . Hence, nBR l . It is clear that ()x Ì ()x ÇÆ()()x = ¹ Be¤ 2 i BR + e¤ 2 ,,Be¤ 2 i Be¤ 2 j ij. ()x x Here Br is a ball of the radius r centred at . Therefore, l ()= ()()x £ () lBVol e¤ 2 å Vol Be¤ 2 i Vol BR + e¤ 2 . i = 1 This implies the assertion of the lemma.

C h Lemma 8.3. a  p Let be a closed subset in H such that equations (8.1) and (8.2) hold t for all its elements. Then for any q >e0 and > 0 the following esti- e r mate holds: n 1 (), e ()+ d £ æö+ 4 l (), e NV q èø1 q N , (8.5) where nP= dim is the dimension of the projector P .

Proof. {}  Let i be a minimal covering of the set with its closed subsets the di- ameter of which does not exceed 2 e . Equation (8.1) implies that in PH there e  Ì exist balls Bi with radius 2 l such that PV i Bi . By virtue of Lemma 8.1 N {}i  there exists a covering Bij j = 1 of the set PV i with the balls of the diameter e £ ()+ ()¤ n 2 q , where Ni 14lq . Therefore, the collection ìü íýG ==B + ()1- P V  : i 12,,¼ ,N (), e , j =12,,¼ ,N îþij ij i i is a covering of the set V  . Here the sum of two sets AB and is defined by the equality AB+ = {}ab+ : aAÎ , bBÎ . It is evident that £ + ()-  diam Gij diamBij diam 1 P V i . ()-  £ de £ Equation (8.2) implies that diam1 P V i 2 . Therefore, diamGij £ 2 ()eq + d . Hence, estimate (8.5) is valid. Lemma 8.3 is proved.

Let us return to the proof of Theorem 8.1. Since MVMÌ , Lemma 8.3 gives us that n (), e ()+ d £ (), e × æö+ 4 l NM q NM èø1 q . It follows that nm (), ()+ d m £ (), × æö+ 4 l , = ,,¼ NMq NM 1 èø1 q m 12 . We choose qmm and = ()e such that d + q

Obviously, the choice of m ()e can be made to fulfil the condition lne m ()e £  + 1 . ln()q + d Thus, æö4 l -1 dim M £ n ln 1 +  ln1  . f èøq q + d

By taking q = 12¤ ()1- d we obtain estimate (8.3). Theorem 8.1 is proved.

Exercise 8.12 Assume that the hypotheses of Theorem 8.1 hold and l < 1- d . Prove that dimf M = 0 .

Of course, in the proof of Theorem 8.1 a principal role is played by equations (8.1) and (8.2). Roughly speaking, they mean that the mapping V squeezes sets along the space ()1- P HPH while it does not stretch them too much along . Negative invari- ance of MMV gives us that Ì kM for all k = 12,,¼ . Therefore, the set M should be initially squeezed. This property is expressed by the assertion of its finite dimen- sionality. As to positively invariant sets, their finite dimensionality is not guaranteed by conditions (8.1) and (8.2). However, as the next theorem states, they are attract- ed to finite-dimensional compacts at an exponential velocity.

Theorem 8.2. Let VM be a continuous mapping defined on a compact set in a Hil-Hil- bert space HVMM such that Ì . Assume that there exists a finite-dimensi- onal projector P such that equations (8.1) and (8.2) hold with 0 <

If the hypotheses of Theorem 8.2 hold, then the discrete dynamical system ()MV, k

possesses a finite-dimensional global attractor M0 . This attractor uniformly attracts all the trajectories of the system. Unfortunately, the speed of its convergence to the attractor cannot be estimated in general. This speed can appear to be small. However, Theorem 8.2 implies that the global attractor is contained in a finite-dimensional po- Existence and Properties of Attractors … 61 sitively invariant set possessing the property of uniform exponential attraction. From the applied point of view the most interesting corollary of this fact is that the dyna- mics of a system becomes finite-dimensional exponentially fast independent of the speed of convergence of the trajectories to the global attractor. Moreover, the re- duction principle (see Theorem 7.4) is applicable in this case. Thus, finite-dimen- sional invariant exponentially attracting sets can be used to describe the qualitative behaviour of infinite-dimensional systems. These sets are frequently referred to as inertial sets, or fractal exponential attractors. In some cases they turn out to be surfaces in the phase space. In contrast with the global attractor, the inertial set of a dynamical system can not be uniquely determined. The construction in the proof of Theorem 8.2 shows it.

§ 9 Existence and Properties of Attractors of a Class of Infinite-Dimensional Dissipative Systems

The considerations given in the previous sections are mainly of general character. They are related to a dissipative dynamical system of the generic structure. There- with, we inevitably make additional assumptions on the behaviour of trajectories of these systems (e.g., the asymptotic compactness, the existence of a Lyapunov func- tion, the squeezing property along a subspace, etc.). Thereby it is natural to ask what properties of the original objects of a particular dynamical system guarantee the fulfilment of the assumptions mentioned above. In this section we discuss this question in terms of the dynamical system generated by a differential equation of the form

d yAy+ ==By(), y y (9.1) dt t = 0 0 in a separable Hilbert space H , where A is a linear operator and B is a nonlinear mapping which is coordinated with A in some sense. Our main goal is to demon- strate the generic line of arguments as well as to describe those properties of the operators A and B which provide the applicability of general theorems proved in the previous sections. The main attention is paid to the questions of existence and fi- nite dimensionality of a global attractor. Nowadays the presented line of arguments (or a modification of it) is one of the main components of a great number of works on global attractors. It is assumed below that the following conditions are fulfilled. 62 Basic Concepts of the Theory of Infinite-Dimensional Dynamical Systems

It should be noted that although conditions (A)–(C) seem a little too lengthy, they are valid for a class of problems of the theory of nonlinear oscillations as well as for a number of systems generated by parabolic partial differential equations. The following assertion should be mainly interpreted as a principal result which testifies to the fact that the asymptotic behaviour of the system is determined by a finite set of parameters.

Theorem 9.1.

If conditions (A)–(C) are fulfilled, then the semigroup St possesses a compact global attractor A . The attractor has a finite fractal dimension which can be estimated as follows: A = ()+ ()+ ()e-1 dimf a1 1 ln Pn L1 L2 1 DR dimPn , (9.3) Existence and Properties of Attractors … 63

When proving the theorem, we mainly rely on decomposition (9.2) and the lemmata below.

Lemma 9.1. ³ = + Let Kn be a set of elements which for some t 0 have the form vu0 + ()- (), Î H £ 1 Pn Gt u, where u0 Pn , u0 c0 R with the constant c0 de- £ = ,,¼ termined by the condition Pn c0 for n 12 . Here the value Gt(), u is the same as in (9.2) with the element u Î H being such that £ ³ H St uR for all t 0 . Then the set Kn is precompact in for ³ nn0 .

Proof. Properties (B2) and (C2) imply that t C ()R L s()- ()£ -e ()t - t s()- ()t£ 2 2 A 1 Pn Gt, u L2 òe A 1 Pn BSt u d e 0

when St uR£ for t ³ 0 . Therefore, the set {}= ()- ()> v : v 1 Pn Gt, u , t 0 ,(9.5) £ ³ ()s ()- H where St uR for all t 0 , is bounded in the space DA 1 Pn with the norm As . . The symbol denotes the restriction of an operator on a subspace. However, property (B3) implies that -1()- - -1()- = lim Pm A 1 Pn A 1 Pn 0 . m ® ¥ -1 ()- H ()s ()- H Therefore, the operator A 1 Pn is compact. Hence, DA 1 Pn ()- H is compactly embedded into 1 Pn . It means that the set (9.5) is precom- ()- H pact in 1 Pn . This implies the precompactness of Kn . Lemma 9.2. There exists a compact set K in the space H such that -e ()tt- ()º {}()Î £ 0 hSt B , K sup dist St y , K : yB L2 Re (9.6) Ì H ³ º () for any bounded set B and tt0 t0 B .

Therefore, we can use Theorem 5.1 (see also Exercise 5.3) to guarantee the exis- A = [] tence of the global attractor lying in KKn . Let us use Theorem 8.1 to prove the finite dimensionality of the attractor. Veri- fication of the hypotheses of the theorem is based on the following assertion.

The following simple argument completes the proof of Theorem 9.1. Let us fix <

Exercise 9.2 Prove that the global attractor A of problem (9.1) is stable (Hint: verify that the hypotheses of Theorem 7.1 hold).

Properties (A)–(C) also enable us to prove that the system generated by equation H (9.1) possesses an inertial set. A compact set Aexp in the phase space is said to be an inertial set (or a fractal exponential attractor) if it is positively invariant ()Ì ()< ¥ St Aexp Aexp , its fractal dimension is finite dimf Aexp and it possesses the property -g ()tt- (), º {}()Î £ 0 hSt BAexp sup dist St y , Aexp : yB CB e (9.11) Ì H ³³() g for any bounded set B and for tt0 t0 B , where CB and are positive numbers. (The importance of this notion for the theory of infinite-dimensional dy- namical systems has been discussed at the end of Section 8).

Lemma 9.4. Assume that properties (A)–(C) hold. Then the dynamical system ()H , St generated by equation (9.1) possesses the following properties: 1) there exist a compact positively invariant set K and constants C , g > 0 such that -g ()tt- {}(), Î £ B sup dist St yK: yB Ce (9.12) H ³ > for any bounded set B in and for ttB 0 ; 66 Basic Concepts of the Theory of Infinite-Dimensional Dynamical Systems

C O D h 2) there exist a vicinity of the compact K and numbers 1 and a a > 0 such that p 1 t a t - £ D 1 - e St y1 St y2 1 e y1 y2 , (9.13) r ³ provided that for all t 0 the semitrajectories St yi lie in the clo- 1 sure []O of the set O ; {} 3) there exist a sequence of finite-dimensional projectors Pn in the H Dab > space , constants 2 , 2 , 0 , and a sequence of positive {}r ® ¥ numbers n tending to zero as n such that a t ()- ()- £ D -b t ()+ r 2 - 1 Pn St y1 St y2 2 e 1 n e y1 y2 (9.14) Î for any y1, y2 K .

Proof. Let K be a compact set from Lemma 9.2. Let * = g+ ()º K K È St K . t ³ 0 * Ì * = * = It is clear that St K K and equation (9.12) holds for KK with CL2 R ge= * {} and . Let us prove that K is a compact set. Let zn be a sequence of elements of K* = g+()K . Then z = S y for some t > 0 and y Î K . n tn n n n If there exists an infinitely increasing subsequence {}t , then equation (9.6) nk gives us that æö, = limdist èøSt yn K 0 . k ® ¥ nk k {} Ì * {} Therefore, the sequence zn possesses a limit point in KK . If tn is a bounded sequence, then by virtue of the compactness of K there exist a num- ber t > 0 , an element yKÎ and a sequence {}n such that y ® y and 0 k nk t ® t . Therewith nk - £ - + - St yn St y St ySt y St yn St y . nk k 0 n 0 nk k nk The first term in the right-hand side of this inequality evidently tends to zero. As for the second term, our argument is the same as in the proof of formula (9.8). We use the boundedness of the set g+()K (see property (A)) and proper- ties (B) and (C2) to obtain the estimate C t - £ K - Î St y1 St y2 Ce y1 y2 , y1, y2 K . (9.15) It follows that - = limSt yn St y 0 . k ® ¥ nk k nk Existence and Properties of Attractors … 67

Therefore, ®gÎ * = +() St yn St yK K . nk k 0 The closedness of the set K* can be established with the help of similar argu- ments. Thus, property (9.12) is proved for KK= * . Now we suppose that KS= K* , where t is chosen such that yR< for all yKÎ . It is obvious t0 0 that K is a compact positively invariant set. As it is proved above, it is easy to

find the estimate of form (9.15) for all y1 and y2 from an arbitrary bounded set B . Here an important role is played by the boundedness of the set g+()B (see ÎBH() = property (A)). Therefore, for any B there exists a constant C0 = ()* > CB, K , t0 0 such that S y - S y £ C y - y , y , y Î BKÈ * . t0 1 t0 2 0 1 2 1 2 Hence, for yBÎ we have that * * dist ()S y , K = dist ()S × S - y , S K £ C dist ()S - y, K t t0 tt0 t0 0 tt0 > for tt0 . This implies estimate (9.12) with the constant CK depending on and Bt . However, if we change the moment B in equation (9.12), we can pre- sume that, for example, C =ge1 . Therewith = . Thus, the first assertion of the lemma is proved. Since the set Kz lies in the ball of dissipativity {}ÎH : zR£ , estimates (9.13) and (9.14) follow from Lemma 9.3. Moreover, D ==a () D =a =e + () 1 L1, 1 DR, 2 L2 , 2 DR , bge==r = s ()× ()-1 , n C0 rn C3 R DR .(9.16) Thus, Lemma 9.4 is proved.

Lemma 9.4 along with the theorem given below enables us to verify the existence of an inertial set for the dynamical system generated by equation (9.1).

Theorem 9.2. HH() Let the phase space of a dynamical system , St be a Hilbert space. Assume that in H there exists a compact positively invariant set K possessing properties (9.12)–(9.14).

Lemma 9.5. () Let K , St be a dynamical system, its phase space being a compact in H (), Î a Hilbert space . Assume that for all y1 y2 K equations (9.13) and (9.14) are valid. Then for any n > ln2 there exists an inertial set n () Aexp of the system K , St such that ()n = {}(), n Î £ -n t hSt K , Aexp sup dist St yAexp : yK Cn e . (9.20) n Moreover, estimate (9.18) holds for the value dimf Aexp .

Proof. We use Theorem 8.2 with MK= , VS=d , and = 1 e-n , where t and t0 2 0 n are chosen to fulfil -b t d a t D e 0 == 1 e-n and re 2 0 £ 1 . 2 2 4 n =d= 1 -n In this case conditions (8.1) and (8.2) are valid for VSt with e and a t 0 2 = D 1 0 lPn 1 e . Therefore, there exists a bounded closed positively invariant set Aq with dq<<12¤ such that (see (8.6) and (8.15)) m m sup{}qdist ()V y , Aq : yKÎ £ , m = 1,, 2 ¼ (9.21) and -1 æö4 l dim A £ ln 1 +  ln1 × dim P (9.22) f q èøqd- 2q n Assume that q ==2 d e-n and consider the set n = {}££ Aexp È St Aq :0 0 t0 . Here n = ln1 > ln2 . It is easy to see that q n £ + n dimf Aexp 1 dimf Aexp . Therefore, equations (9.20) and (9.18) follow from (9.21) and (9.20) after some simple calculations.

Lemma 9.6. HH() Assume that in the phase space of a dynamical system , St Ì there exist compact sets KK and 0 such that (a) K0 K ; (b) properties Existence and Properties of Attractors … 69

(9.12) and (9.13) are valid for KK ; and (c) the set 0 possesses the pro- perty -g t ()£ 0 hSt K , K0 Ce , (9.23) where hXY(), = sup {}dist ()xY, : xXÎ . Then for any bounded set B Ì H ³ and ttB the following inequality holds ìügg ()£ - 0 hSt B , K0 CB exp íýgg++a t . (9.24) îþ0 1

= n If we now use Lemma 9.6 with K0 Aexp and estimate (9.20), we get equation (9.17). This completes the proof of Theorem 9.2.

Thus, by virtue of Lemma 9.4 and Theorem 9.2 the dynamical system ()H , S gene- n t rated by equation (9.1) possesses an inertial set Aexp for which equations (9.17)– (9.19) hold with relations (9.16). It should be noted that a slightly different approach to the construction of iner- tial sets is developed in the book by A. Eden, C. Foias, B. Nicolaenko, and R. Temam (see the list of references). This book contains further developments and applica- tions of the theory of inertial sets. 70 Basic Concepts of the Theory of Infinite-Dimensional Dynamical Systems

C h To conclude this section, we outline the results on the behaviour of the projec- a H tion onto the finite-dimensional subspace Pn of the trajectories of the system p ()H t , St generated by equation (9.1). e Assume that an element y belongs to the global attractor A of a dynamical r 0 ()H, g= {}() Î system St .

The following assertion is valid under the hypotheses of Theorem 9.1.

Theorem 9.3. ³ ³ There exists N0 n0 such that for all NN0 the following assertions are valid: () () 1) for any two trajectories y1 t and y2 t lying in the attractor of the ()= () system generated by equation (9.1) the equality PN y1 t PN y2 t Î ()º () for all t R implies that y1 t y2 t ; () () 2) for any two solutions u1 t and u2 t of the system (9.1) the equa- tion ()()- () = limPN u1 t u2 t 0 (9.27) t ® -¥ ()- () ® ® ¥ implies that u1 t u2 t 0 as t .

In this chapter we study well-posedness and the asymptotic behaviour of solu- tions to a class of abstract nonlinear parabolic equations. A typical representative of this class is the nonlinear heat equation d ¶ u ¶2 u  = n å  + fx(), u ¶ t ¶ x2 i = 1 i considered in a bounded domain W of Rd with appropriate boundary conditions on the border ¶W . However, the class also contains a number of nonlinear partial dif- ferential equations arising in Mechanics and Physics that are interesting from the applied point of view. The main feature of this class of equations lies in the fact that the corresponding dynamical systems possess a compact absorbing set. The first three sections of this chapter are devoted to the questions of existence and uniqueness of solutions and a brief description of examples. They are indepen- dent of the results of Chapter 1. In the other sections containing the discussion of asymptotic properties of solutions we use general results on the existence and pro- perties of global attractors proved in Chapter 1. In Sections 6 and 7 we present two quite simple infinite-dimensional systems for which the asymptotic behaviour of the trajectories can be explicitly described. In Section 8 we consider a class of systems generated by infinite-dimensional retarded equations. The list of references at the end of the chapter consists only of the books re- commended for further reading.

§ 1 Positive Operators with Discrete Spectrum

This section contains some auxiliary facts that play an important role in the subse- quent considerations related to the study of the asymptotic properties of solutions to abstract semilinear parabolic equations. Assume that H is a separable Hilbert space with the inner product ().., and the norm . . Let ADA be a selfadjoint positive linear operator with the domain () . An operator A is said to have a discrete spectrum if in the space H there exists {} an orthonormal basis ek of the eigenvectors: ()d, = = l , = ,,¼ ek ej kj,Aek k ek , kj 12 , (1.1) such that

C 2 h Exercise 1.1 Let HL= ()01, and let A be an operator defined by the a = - ² () p equation Au u with the domain DA which consists of conti- t nuously differentiable functions ux() such that (a) u()0 ==u()1 0 , e 2 r (b) u¢()x is absolutely continuous and (c) u ² Î L ()01, . Show 2 that A is a positive operator with discrete spectrum. Find its eigen- vectors and eigenvalues.

The above-mentioned structure of the operator A enables us to define an operator fA() for a wide class of functions f ()l defined on the positive semiaxis. It can be done by supposing that ¥ ¥ ìü ()() = = Î 2 []()l 2 < ¥ DfA íýhcå k ek H : å ck f k , îþ k = 1 k = 1 ¥ () = ()l Î ()() fAhcå k f k ek ,.(1.3)hDfA k = 1 In particular, one can define operators Aa with a ÎabR . For = - < 0 these ope- rators are bounded. However, in this case it is also convenient to introduce the line- als DA()a if we regard DA()-b as a completion of the space H with respect to the norm A-b . .

-b Exercise 1.2 Show that the space -b =bDA() with > 0 can be identi- fied with the space of formal series åck ek such that ¥ 2 l-2 b < ¥ å ck k . k = 1

Exercise 1.3 Show that for any b Î R the operator Ab can be defined on every space DA()a as a bounded mapping from DA()a into DA()ab- such that b + b b b Ab DA()a = DA()ab- , A 1 2 = A 1 × A 2 . (1.4)

a Exercise 1.4 Show that for all a Î R the space a º DA() is a sepa- a a rable Hilbert space with the inner product ()uv, a = ()A uA, v a and the norm u a = A u .  Exercise 1.5 The operator A with the domain 1 + s is a positive operator with discrete spectrum in each space s .

Exercise 1.6 Prove the continuity of the embedding of the space a into b for ab> , i.e. verify that a Ì b and u b £ Cua .

Exercise 1.7 Prove that a is dense in b for any ab> . Positive Operators with Discrete Spectrum 79

Exercise 1.8 Let f Îss for > 0 . Show that the linear functional Fg()º º ()fg, can be continuously extended from the space H to -s and ()fg, £ f s × g -s for any f Î s and g Î -s .

Exercise 1.9 Show that any continuous linear functional F on s has the form: Ff()= ()fg, , where g Î -s . Thus, -s is the space of continuous linear functionals on s .

The collection of Hilbert spaces with the properties mentioned in Exercises 1.7–1.9 is frequently called a scale of Hilbert spaces. The following assertion on the com- pactness of embedding is valid for the scale of spaces {}s .

Theorem 1.1.

Let s > s . TheThenn the space s is compactly embedded into s , i.e. 1 2 1 2 every sequence bounded in s is compact in s . 1 2 Proof. It is well known that every bounded set in a separable Hilbert space is weakly compact, i.e. it contains a weakly convergent sequence. Therefore, it is sufficient to prove that any sequence weakly tending to zero in s converges to zero with re- 1 spect to the norm of the space s . We remind that a sequence {}f in  weakly 2 n s converges to an element f Î s if for all g Î s (), = (), lim fn g s fgs . n ® ¥ Let the sequence {}f be weakly convergent to zero in s and let n 1 £ = ,,¼ fn s C ,n 12 .

The following properties of the exponential operator e-tA play an important part in the further considerations.

The following assertion provides a simple sufficient condition of the global solvability of problem (2.1).

The proof of this theorem is based on the following lemma (see the book by Henry [3], Chapter 7).

Lemma 2.1.

Proof of Theorem 2.3. Let ut() be a solution to problem (2.1) on the maximal half-interval of its exis- tence [ss,)+ T . Assume that T < ¥ . Condition (2.14) gives us that (), ££(), + ()+ Bu t B 0 t Muq M0 T Muq for all u Î q and t Î []0, T .

Therefore, Lemma 2.1 implies that the value ut()q is bounded on [ss,)+ T which is impossible (see Exercise 2.1). Thus, the solution exists for any half-interval [ss,)+ T. For the proof of estimate (2.15) we note that, as above, inequalities (2.3) ()= ()- () and (1.15) for the function wt u1 t u2 t give us that t q () £ () + æöq + lq ()t t wt q ws q ò èøt - t 1 Mw qd . s If we apply Lemma 2.1, we find that () £ ()ql,, () ££+ wt q C 1 M ws forsts1 .

Let us consider one more case in which we can guarantee the global solvability of problem (2.1). Assume that condition (2.2) holds for q = 12¤ and 92 Long-Time Behaviour of Solutions to a Class of Semilinear Parabolic Equations

Theorem 2.4. Let (2.2) be valid with q = 12¤ and let decomposition (2.19) take place. Assume that the functional Fu() is bounded below on V = 12¤ . Then prob- lem (2.1) has a unique mild solution ut()Î CssT([], + ; DA())12 on an arbitrary segment []ss, + T.

Secondly, by virtue of the continuity of the functional W on =  ® ¥ V 12¤ Theorem 2.2 enables us to pass to the limit m on an arbitrary seg- ment []ss, + T and prove the global solvability of limit problem (2.1).

Thus, if Bu(), t º Bu() and the hypotheses of Theorem 2.3 or 2.4 hold, then equa- () , tion (2.1) generates a dynamical system q St with the evolutionary operator St = () () which is defined by the equality St u0 ut , where ut is the solution to problem (2.1). The semigroup property of St follows from the assertion on the uniqueness of solution.

Exercise 2.10 Show that Theorem 2.4 holds even if we replace the assump- tion of semiboundedness of Fu() by the condition Fu()³ ³ -ba A12 u 2 - for some a 0 .

§3 Examples

Here we consider several examples of an application of theorems of Section 2. Our presentation is brief here and is organized in several cycles of exercises. More de- tailed considerations as well as other examples can be found in the books by Henry, Babin and Vishik, and Temam from the list of references to Chapter 2 (see also Sec- tions 6 and 7 of this chapter). We first remind some definitions and notations. Let W be a domain in Rd ()d ³ 1 . The Sobolev space Hm()W of the order mm ()= 012,,,¼ is defined by the formula Hm()W = {}fLÎ 2()W : D j fLÎ 2()W , jm£ , = (),,¼ , = ,,,¼ = ++¼ where jj1 j2 jd , jk 012 , jj1 jd , j j j D j f = ¶ 1 ¶ 2 ¼¶ d fx(),.xx= (),,¼ x x1 x2 xd 1 d The space Hm()W is a separable Hilbert space with the inner product 94 Long-Time Behaviour of Solutions to a Class of Semilinear Parabolic Equations

It is well-known that the operator A =¶W-D with the Dirichlet boundary condition on is a positive ()= 2()W Ç 1()W operator with discrete spectrum. Its domain is DA H H0 . More- ()12 = 1()W over, DA H0 . We also note that d ¶ 2 12 2 ==(), æöu Î ()12 = 1()W A u Au u å òèø¶ dx , uDA H0 . xj j = 1 W Therefore, equation (3.3) for Bu(), t gives us the estimate æö12 Bu(), t - Bu(), t £ K 1 + 1 A12 u , 1 2 èøl 1 l -D where 1 is the first eigenvalue of the operator with the Dirichlet boundary condition on ¶W . Therefore, we can apply Theorem 2.3 with q = 12¤ to prob- lem (3.1). This theorem guarantees the existence and uniqueness of a mild solu- (), 1()W tion to problem (3.1) in the space C R+ H0 . Examples 95

Exercise 3.1 Assume that ft(),,, x u p º ft(),, x u is a continuous func- tion of its arguments satisfying the global Lipschitz condition with respect to the variable u . Prove the global theorem on the existence of mild solutions to problem (3.1) in the space HL= 2()W .

Example 3.2 Let us consider problem (3.1) in the case of one spatial variable:

ì ¶ = n¶2 - (), + (),,,¶ > , Î (), ï t u x ugxu ft x u x u , t 0 x 01 í (3.4) ï u ==u 0, u =u . î x = 0 x = 1 t = 0 0 Assume that gx(), u is a continuously differentiable function with respect to ¢ (), £ () () the variable ug and u xu hu , where hu is a function bounded on every compact set of the real axis. We also assume that the function ftxup(),,, is continuous and possesses property (3.2). For any element uDAÎ=()12 = 1 (), H0 01 the following estimates hold: () £ ¢ £ ¢ max ux u 2 andu 2 u 2 , []01, L ()01, L ()01, L ()01,  = ¶ where u x u . Therefore, it is easy to find that the inequality (), - (), £ ()r 12 ()- Bu1 t Bu2 t M A u1 u2 (3.5) is valid for Bu(), t = -gx(), ux()+ ft(),, x ux(), u¢()x , 12 º ¢r£ = provided A uj uj . Here . is the norm in the space H = L2()01, and M ()r = sup {}h ()x : xr< + K 2 . Equation (3.5) and Theo- 1()W rem 2.1 guarantee the local solvability of problem (3.4) in the space H0 . Moreover, if the function y  ()xy, = ògx()x, x d 0 is bounded below, then we can use Theorem 2.4 to obtain the assertion on the existence of mild solutions to problem (3.4) on an arbitrary segment []0, T .

It should be noted that the reasoning in Example 3.2 is also valid for several spatial variables. However, in order to ensure the fulfilment of the estimate of the form (3.5) one should impose additional conditions on the growth of the function hu() . For example, we can require that the equation ()£ + p hu C1 C2 u be fulfilled, where p £ 2¤ ()d - 2 if d > 2 and pd is an arbitrary number if = 2 . In this case the inequality of the form (3.5) follows from the Hölder inequality and 96 Long-Time Behaviour of Solutions to a Class of Semilinear Parabolic Equations

Exercises 3.3–3.6 below answer the question on the solvability of problem (3.8).

Exercise 3.6 Use equations (3.9) and (3.10) to prove the global existence of the Galerkin approximate solutions to problem (3.8) and to obtain the uniform estimate of the form ¶ () £ ()¶ , Î [], x um t C x u0 T ,(3.11)t 0 T for any T > 0 .

Thus, Theorem 2.2 guarantees the global existence and uniqueness of weak solu-  = 1(), tions to problem (3.8) in 12¤ H0 0 l .

§ 4 Existence Conditions and Properties of Global Attractor

In this section we study the asymptotic properties of the dynamical system genera- ted by the autonomous equation u d + Au = Bu(),,u = u (4.1) dt t = 0 0 where, as before, A is a positive operator with discrete spectrum and Bu() is a nonlinear mapping from  q into H such that ()- ()£ ()r q()- Bu1 Bu2 M A u1 u2 (4.2) , Î  = ()q q £ r £ q < for all u1 u2 q DA possessing the property A uj , 0 1 . We assume that problem (4.1) has a unique mild (in  q ) solution on R+ for any Î  u0 q . The theorems that guarantee the fulfilment of this requirement and also some examples are given in Sections 2 and 3 of this chapter. It should be also noted that in this section we use some results of Chapter 1 for the proof of main assertions. Further triple numeration is used in the references to the assertions and formulae of Chapter 1 (first digit is the chapter number). () , Let q St be a dynamical system with the evolutionary operator St defined = () () by the formula Stu0 ut , where ut is a mild solution to problem (4.1). () , As shown in Chapter 1, for the system q St to possess a compact global attrac- tor, it should be dissipative. It turns out that the condition of dissipativity is not only necessary, but also sufficient in the class of systems considered.

Lemma 4.1. () , = {}q £ Let q St be dissipative and let B0 u : A uR0 be its absorbing a ball. Then the set Ba = {}u : A uR£ a is absorbing for all aqÎ (), 1 , where aq- aa R = ()aq- R +  sup {}Bu(): u Î  , AquR£ .(4.3) a 0 1- a q 0

Proof. Using equation (2.3) and estimate (1.17), we have t + 1 a aq- æöa Aaut()aq+ 1 £ ()- Aqut() +  But()() dt , ò èøt + 1- t t ()=  £ where ut Stu0 . Let B be a bounded set in q . Then St y q R0 for all ³ Î ttB and yB . Therefore, the estimate ()() £ {}() Î ³ But sup Bu : uB0 , ttB ()= a ()+ £ ³ holds for ut St y . Hence, A ut 1 Ra for all ttB . This implies the assertion of the lemma. 102 Long-Time Behaviour of Solutions to a Class of Semilinear Parabolic Equations

C h Theorem 4.1. a () , p Assume that the dynamical system q St generated by problem (4.1) t is dissipative. Then it is compact and possesses a connected compact global e r attractor A. This attractor is a bounded set in a for qa£ < 1 and has 2 a finite fractal dimensiondimension.. Proof. By virtue of Theorem 1.1 the space a is compactly embedded into  q for aq> () , . Therefore, Lemma 4.1 implies that the dynamical system q St is com- () , pact. Hence, Theorem 1.5.1 gives us that q St possesses a connected compact a global attractor A . Evidently, A uR£ a for all u ÎA , where Ra is defined by equality (4.3). Thus, we should only establish the finite dimensionality of the at- tractor. Let us apply the method used in the proof of Theorem 1.9.1 and based on

Theorem 1.8.1. Let St u1 and St u2 be semitrajectories of the dynamical system () , £ ³ = , q St such that St uj q R for all t 0 , j 12 . Then equations (2.3) and (1.17) give us that t - £ - + ()qq ()- t -q - St u1 St u2 q u1 u2 q MR ò t St u1 St u2 qdt . 0 Î  £ Using Lemma 2.1, we find that for all uj q such that St uj q R the following estimate holds: - £ - ££ St u1 St u2 q Cu1 u2 q for0 t 1 , where the constant C depends on q and R . Therefore, - £ - £££t t + St u1 St u2 q CSt u1 St u2 q for 0 t 1

for the considered u1 and u2 . Consequently, - £ - £ []t + 1 - St u1 St u2 q CS[]t u1 S[]t u2 q C u1 u2 q , where []t is an integer part of the number t . Thus, the estimate of the form - £ at - St u1 St u2 q Ce u1 u2 q (4.4) is valid, where the constants Ca and depend on q and R . Similarly, Lemma 1.1 gives

If we substitute equation (4.4) in the right-hand side of inequality (4.5), then we obtain that Existence Conditions and Properties of Global Attractor 103

-l t ()- £ ()N+1 + ()at () - QN St u1 St u2 q e CM R e JN t u1 u2 q , where t q æöq q -l ()t - t J ()t =  + l e N +1 dt . N ò èøt - t N +1 0 xl= ()- t ()£ After the change of variable N +1 t it is easy to find that JN t £ l-q1 + C0 N + 1 . Therefore,

Equations (4.4) and (4.6) which are valid for any R > 0 enable us to prove the exis- () , tence of a fractal exponential attractor of the dynamical system q St in the same way as in Section 9 of Chapter 1.

Theorem 4.2. () , Assume that the dynamical system q St generated by problem (4.1) is dissipative. Then it possesses a fractal exponential attractor ((inertialinertial set).

Proof. It is sufficient to verify that the hypotheses of Theorem 1.9.2 (see (1.9.12)– () , (1.9.14)) hold for q St . Let us show that = = {}a £ KSÈ t Ba , Ba u : A uRa ³ tt0 can be taken for the compact K in (1.9.12)–(1.9.14). Here a is a number from the interval ()q, 1 and Ra is defined by formula (4.3). We choose the parameter = () Ì ³ t0 t0 Ba such that St KBa for tt0 . Since K is a bounded invariant set, , Î equation (4.4) is valid for any u1 u2 K with some constants Ca and . It is also easy to verify that Kk is a compact. Indeed, let {}Ì K . Then k = S y , there- n n tn n ® ® Î ® < ¥ with we can assume that kn w , yn yBa and either tn t* or ® ¥ tn . In the first case with the help of (4.4) we have 104 Long-Time Behaviour of Solutions to a Class of Semilinear Parabolic Equations

C at h S y - S y £ Ce n y - y + S yS- y . a tn n t* q n q tn t* q p t Therefore, k = S y ® S yKÎ . In the second case e n tn n t* r = Î w()ÌÌ() wSlim t yn Ba St Ba K . 2 n ® ¥ n 0 Here w()Ba is the omega-limit set for the semitrajectories emanating from Ba . Thus, K is a compact invariant absorbing set. In particular this means that condition (1.9.12) is fulfilled, therewith we can take any number for g > 0 . Conditions (1.9.13) and (1.9.14) follow from equations (4.4) and (4.6). Consequently, it is sufficient to apply Theorem 1.9.2 to conclude the proof of Theorem 4.2.

() , Thus, the dissipativity of the dynamical system q St generated by problem (4.1) guarantees the existence of a finite-dimensional global attractor and an inertial set. Under some additional conditions concerning Bu() the requirement of dissipativity can be slightly weakened. We give the following definition. Let aq£ . The dynami- () ,  * > cal system q St is said to be a -dissipative if there exists Ra 0 such that  = () for any set B bounded in a there exists t0 t0 B such that a º £ * Î Ç  ³ A St ySt y a Ra for allyB q andtt0 .

Lemma 4.2. Assume that Bu() satisfies the global Lipschitz condition ()- ()£ q()- Bu1 Bu2 MA u1 u2 . (4.7) () , Let the dynamical system q St generated by mild solutions to prob-  aqÎ( -], q () , lem (4.1) be a -dissipative for some 1 . Then q St is a compact dynamical system, i.e. it possesses an absorbing set which is compact in  q .

Proof. () , By virtue of Lemma 4.1 it is sufficient to verify that the system q St is dissipative (i.e.  q -dissipative). If we use expression (2.3) and equation (1.17), then we obtain ts+ æöqa- qa- æöq q Aqut()+ s £  Aa ut() +  Bu()t()t d èøs ò èøts+ - t t ()= ()£ ()+ q for positive ts and . Here utSt u0 .

Hence, we can apply Lemma 2.1 to obtain Aqut()+ s £ C ()qa,,M ()1 + Aa ut() saq- ,.0 ££s 1 £ * ³ () Î Ç  Therefore, if St u0 a Ra for tt0 B and u0 B q , then the latter in- equality gives us that £ ()qa,, ()+ * ³ + () St u0 q C M 1 Ra fort 1 t0 B , () , i.e. q St is a dissipative system. Lemma 4.2 is proved.

Exercise 4.1 Show that the assertion of Lemma 4.2 holds if instead of (4.7) ()= ()+ () () we suppose that Bu B1 u B2 u , where B1 u possesses () property (4.7) and B2 u is such that {}¥() a £ * < sup B2 u : A uRa .

The following assertion contains a sufficient condition of dissipativity of the dynami- cal system generated by problem (4.1).

Theorem 4.3. Assume that condition (4.2) is fulfilled with q = 12¤ and Bu()= = - ¢()  F u is a potential operator from 12¤ into H (the prime stands for the Frechét derivative)derivative).. Let Fu()³ - a, ()bF ¢()u , u -gFu()³ -dA12 u 2 - (4.8) Îabgd for all u 12¤ , where , , , and are real parameters, therewith b >g<  0 and 1 . Then the dynamical system is dissipative in 12¤ .

Proof. In view of Theorem 2.4 conditions (4.8) guarantee the existence of the evolu- tionary operator St . Let us verify the dissipativity. As in the proof of Theorem 2.4 we {}() consider the Galerkin approximations um t . It is evident that 1 d u ()t 2 ++A12 u ()t 2 ()F ¢()u , u = 0 2 dt m m m m and æö\ d 1 A12 u ()t 2 + Fu()()t + u ()t 2 = 0 . dt èø2 m m m If we add these equations and use (4.8), then we obtain that ìü d íý1 u 2 ++1 A12 u 2 Fu()++()1 - g A12 u 2 b Fu()£ d. dt îþ2 m 2 m m m m 106 Long-Time Behaviour of Solutions to a Class of Semilinear Parabolic Equations

C h Let a 1 2 1  2 p Vu()=  u +++ A12u Fu() a. t 2 2 e r Therefore, it is clear that 2 d Vu()w()t + Vu()()t £ C dt m m with some positive constants w and Cm that do not depend on . This (cf.

Exercise 4.2 Show that the assertion of Theorem 4.3 holds if (4.2) is ful- filled with q = 12¤ and ()= - ¢()+ () Bu F u B0 u , () () where Fu possesses properties (4.8) and B0 u satisfies the esti- ()£ + e 12 e > mate B0 u Ce A u for 0 small enough.

Let us look at the examples of Section 3 again. We assume that the function ft(),,, x u p º fx(),, u p (4.10) in Example 3.1 possesses property (3.2) and

(),,()Ñ () () £ ()l - d 2 () + ò fx ux ux uxdx 1 òu x dx C (4.11) W W Îl1()W -D for all uH0 , where 1 is the first eigenvalue of the operator with the Dirichlet boundary condition on ¶W . Here d and C are positive constants.

§ 5 Systems with Lyapunov Function

In this section we consider problem (4.1) on the assumption that condition (4.2) holds with q = 12¤ and Bu() is a potential operator, i.e. there exists a functional ()  = ()12 ¢() Fu on 12¤ DA such that its Frechét derivative F u possesses the pro- perty Bu()= -F ¢()u ,.uDAÎ ()12 (5.1) Below we also assume that the conditions Fu()³ - a,(5.2)()bF ¢()u , u -gFu()³ -dA12 u 2 - are fulfilled for all uDAÎad()12 , where ,bÎ R , >g0 , and < 1 . On the one hand, these conditions ensure the existence and uniqueness of mild (in DA()12 ) solutions to problem (4.1) (see Theorem 2.4). On the other hand, they guarantee the existence of a finite-dimensional global attractor A for the dynamical system () , 12¤ St generated by problem (4.1) (see Theorem 4.3). Conditions (5.1) and (5.2) enable us to obtain additional information on the structure of attractor.

Theorem 5.1. Assume that conditions (5.1), (5.2), and (4.2) hold with q = 12¤ . Then A(), the global attractor of the dynamical system 12¤ St generated by Systems with Lyapunov Function 109

 = () problem (4.1) is a bounded set in 1 DA and it coincides with the un- stable manifold emanating from the set of fixed points of the system, i.e.

A = M+()N , (5.3) where N = {}zDAÎ (): Az= B() z (for the definition of M+()N see Secti- on 6 of Chapter 1).

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

Lemma 5.1. ()= Assume that a semitrajectory ut St u0 possesses the property a A ut() £ Ra for all t ³ 0 , where 12¤a<<1 . Then 12 a - 12¤ A ()ut()- us() £ CR()a ts- (5.4) for all ts, ³ 0 .

Proof. For the sake of definiteness we assume that ts> ³ 0 . Equation (2.3) im- plies that t -()- -()- t ut()- us()= ()e tsA - I us()+ òe t A Bu()t()t d . s Since t -()- e tsA - I = -òAe-()t - t Adt , s equation (1.17) gives us that t 12 ()()- () £ ()- t a - 32¤ t a () + A ut us c0 ò t d A us s t + ()- t -12 t ()()t c1 t d max Bu . ò t ³ 0 s This implies estimate (5.4).

Lemma 5.2. > = {}£ There exists R1 0 such that the set B1 u : Au R1 is absorbing () , for the dynamical system 12¤ St .

Proof. () , By virtue of Theorem 4.3 the system 12¤ St is dissipative. Therefore, it a follows from Lemma 4.1 that Ba = {}u : A uR£ a is an absorbing set,where 110 Long-Time Behaviour of Solutions to a Class of Semilinear Parabolic Equations

C ¤a<< h Ra is defined by (4.3), 12 1 . Thus, to prove the lemma it is sufficient to a a consider semitrajectories ut() possessing the property A ut() £ Ra , t ³ 0 . p t Let us present the solution ut() in the form e r t -()ts- A -()t - t A 2 ut()= e us()++òe Bu()()t -tBut()() d s

Au() t + 1 £ CR()a ,,t ³ 0 a provided that A ut() £ Ra for t ³ 0 . Therefore, the assertion of Lemma 5.2 follows from Lemma 4.1.

Proof of Theorem 5.1. The boundedness of the attractor A in DA() follows from Lemma 5.2. Let us () prove (5.3). We consider the Galerkin approximation um t of solutions to problem (4.1): du ()t m  + Au ()t = P Bu()()t ,.u ()0 = P u dt m m m m m 0 {},,,¼ Here Pm is the orthoprojector onto the span of e1 e2 em . Let Vu()= 1 ()Au, u + Fu(),.(5.5)u Î  = DA()12 2 12¤ It is clear that \ d Vu()()t ==()Au ()t + F ¢()u ()t , u ()t - P []Au ()t - Bu()()t 2 . dt m m m m m m m This implies that t ()() - ()() = -£[]()t - ()()t 2 t Vum t Vum s ò Pm Aum Bum d s

t £ - ()()t - ()()t 2 t ò PN Aum Bum d s ³ £ for ts and for any Nm , where PN is the orthoprojector onto the span of {},,¼ e1 eN . With the help of Theorem 2.2 and due to the continuity of the func- Systems with Lyapunov Function 111 tional Vu() we can pass to the limit m ® ¥ in the latter equation. As a result, we obtain the estimate t ()() + ()()t - ()()t 2 t £ ()() ³ Vut ò PN Au Bu d Vus ,ts , (5.6) s for any solution ut() to problem (4.1) and for any N ³ 1 . If the semitrajectory ()= A ® ¥ ut St u0 lies in the attractor , then we can pass to the limit N in (5.6) and obtain the equation t Vut()() + ò Au()t - Bu()()t 2dt £ Vus()() (5.7) s for any ts³³0 and ut()Î A . Equation (5.7) implies that the functional Vu() defined by equality (5.5) is the Lyapunov function of the dynamical system () , A 12¤ St on the attractor . Therefore, Theorem 1.6.1 implies equation (5.3). Theorem 5.1 is proved.

Exercise 5.1 Using (5.6) show that any solution ut() to problem (4.1) with Î  u0 12¤ possesses the property t ò Au()t 2dt < ¥ ,.t > 0 0 Prove the validity of inequality (5.7) for any solution ut() to prob- lem (4.1).

Exercise 5.2 Using the results of Exercises 5.1 and 1.6.5 show that if the hypotheses of Theorem 5.1 hold, then a global minimal attractor A () , min of the system 12¤ St has the form A = {}Î () - ()= min wDA: Aw B w 0 .

Exercise 5.3 Prove that the assertions of Theorems 4.3 and 5.1 hold if we consider the equation u d + Au = Bu()+ h ,(5.8)u = u dt t = 0 0 instead of problem (4.1). Here hH is an arbitrary element from and Bu() possesses properties (5.1), (5.2) and (4.2) with q= 12¤ ()= ()- (), (Hint: Vh u Vu hu ).

Exercise 5.4 Let St be an evolutionary operator of problem (5.8). Show > ³ > that for any R 0 there exist numbers aR 0 and bR 0 such that a t 12 ()- £ R 12 ()- A St u1 St u2 bR e A u1 u2 , 12 £ = , ()££() provided A uj R , j 12 (Hint: Vh St uj Vh uj CR ). 112 Long-Time Behaviour of Solutions to a Class of Semilinear Parabolic Equations

C h Theorem 5.1 and the reasonings of Section 6 of Chapter 1 reduce the question on the a structure of global attractor to the problem of studying the properties of stationary p t points of the dynamical system under consideration. Under some additional condi- e tions on the operator Bu() it can be proved in general that the number of fixed r points is finite and all of them are hyperbolic. This enables us to use the results of 2 Section 6 of Chapter 1 to specify the attractor structure. For some reasons (they will be clear later) it is convenient to deal with the fixed points of the dynamical system generated by problem (5.8). Thus we consider the equation Lu()º Au- B() u = h ,,uDAÎ () (5.9) where as before ABu is a positive operator with discrete spectrum, () is a nonline- ar mapping possessing properties (5.1), (5.2) and (4.2) with q = 12¤ , and h is an element of H .

Lemma 5.3. For any hHÎ problem (5.9) is solvable. If MH is a bounded set in , then the set L-1()M of solutions to equation (5.9) is bounded in DA() for hMÎ . If MHL is compact in , then -1()M is compact in DA() .

Proof. Let us consider a continuous functional

Wu()= 1 ()Au, u + Fu()- ()hu, (5.10) 2  = ()12 ()³ - a Î  () on 12¤ DA . Since Fu for all u 12¤ , the functional Wu possesses the property

Wu()³³1 A12 u 2 - a - A-12 hA12 u 2 1 ³  A12 u 2 - a - A-12 h 2 . (5.11) 4 In particular, this means that Wu() is bounded below. Let us consider the func- ()  tional Wu on the subspace Pm 12¤ (Pm is the orthoprojector onto the span ,,,¼ of elements e1 e2 em , as before). By virtue of (5.11) there exists a mini-  mum point um of this functional in Pm 12¤ which obviously satisfies the equa- tion - ()= Aum Pm Bum Pm h .(5.12) Equation (5.11) also implies that 1  A12 u 2 ££Wu()a++A-12 h 2 4 m m £ {}() Î ++a -12 2 inf Wu: uPmH A h . Systems with Lyapunov Function 113

Hence, 12 ££()++ a -12 2 ()+ -12 2 A um F 0 A h C 1 A h with a constant Cm independent of . Thus, equations (5.12) and (4.2) give us that ££()+ ()++()12 12 Aum Bum h B 0 hMAum A um . £ £ () Therefore, if hR , then Aum CR . This estimate enables us to extract a weakly convergent (in DA() ) subsequence {}u and to pass to the limit as mk k ® ¥ in (5.12) with the help of Theorem 1.1. Thus, the solvability of equation (5.9) is proved. It is obvious that every limit (in DA() ) point u of the sequence {} um possesses the property £ £ Au CR ifhR . (5.13) This means that the complete preimage L-1()M of any bounded set MH in is bounded in DA() . Now we prove that the mapping L is proper, i.e. the pre- -1() {} image L M is compact for a compact Mu . Let n be a sequence from -1() {}() L M . Then the sequence Lun lies in the compact M and therefore there exist an element hMÎ and a subsequence {}n such that Lu()- h ® 0 k nk as k ® ¥ . By virtue of (5.13) we can also assume that {}Au is a weakly con- nk vergent sequence in DA() . If we use the equation

Aun - Bu()- h ® 0 ,,k ® ¥ k nk Theorem 1.1, and property (4.2) with q = 12¤ , then we can easily prove that the sequence {}u strongly converges in DA() to a solution u to the equation nk Lu()= h . Lemma 5.3 is proved.

Lemma 5.4. In addition to (5.1), (5.2), and (4.2) with q = 12¤ we assume that the () Î  mapping B . is Frechét differentiable, i.e. for any u 12¤ there ¢()  exists a linear bounded operator B u from 12¤ into H such that Bu()+ v - Bu()- B ¢()u v = oA()12 v (5.14) Î  12 £ - ¢ () for every v 12¤ , such that A v 1 . Then the operator A B u Î  = ()12 is a Fredholm operator for any u 12¤ DA .

We remind that a densely defined closed linear operator GH in is said to be Fred- holm (of index zero) if (a) its image is closed; and (b)dim Ker G = dim Ker G* < ¥ .

Proof of Lemma 5.4. It is clear that the operator GABº - ¢()u has the structure 114 Long-Time Behaviour of Solutions to a Class of Semilinear Parabolic Equations

C 12 12 -12 12 h GACA==- A ()IA- C A , a -  p where CHCB is a bounded operator in ()= ¢()u A 12 . By virtue of Theorem t = -12 e 1.1 the operator KA C is compact. This implies the closedness of the r image of G . Moreover, it is obvious that 2 dim Ker G = dim Ker ()IK- and dim Ker G* = dim Ker ()IK- * . Therefore, the Fredholm alternative for the compact operator gives us that dim Ker G* = dim Ker G < ¥ .

Let us introduce the notion of a regular value of the operator L seen as an ele- ment hHÎ possessing the property that for every uLÎ -1 hvº {}: Lv()= h the operator L¢()u = AB- ¢()u is invertible on H . Lemmata 5.3 and 5.4 enable us to use the Sard-Smale theorem (for the statement and the proof see, e.g., the book by A. V. Babin and M. I. Vishik [1]) and state that the set R of regular values of the mapping Lu()= Au- B() u is an open everywhere dense set in H . The following assertion is valid for regular values of the operator L .

Lemma 5.5. Let hL be a regular value of the operator . Then the set of solutions to equation (5.9) is finite.

Proof. By virtue of Lemma 5.3 the set N = {}v : Lv()= h is compact. Since h Î R , the operator L¢()u = AB- ¢()u is invertible on Hu for ÎN . It is also evident that L¢()u has a domain DA() . Therefore, by virtue of the uniform boundedness principle AL¢()u -1 is a bounded operator for u ÎN . Hence, it follows from (5.14) that Av()- w £ AL¢()v -1 × L¢()v ()vw- =

==AL¢()v -1 Bv()- Bw()- B ¢()v ()vw- oA()12 ()vw-

for any vw and in N . This implies that for every v Î N there exists a vicinity that does not contain other points of the set NN . Therefore, the compact set has no condensation points. Hence, N consists of a finite number of elements. Lemma 5.5 is proved.

In order to prove the hyperbolicity (for the definition see Section 6 of Chapter 1) of fixed points we should first consider linearization of problem (5.8) at these points. Î () Assume that the hypotheses of Lemma 5.4 hold and v0 DA is a stationary solu- tion. We consider the problem Systems with Lyapunov Function 115

u d + ()AB- ¢()v u = 0 ,.(5.15)u = u dt 0 t = 0 0  = ()12 Its solution can be regarded as a continuous function in 12¤ DA which satis- fies the equation t ()= -tA + -()t - t A ¢()()tt ut e u0 òe B v0 u d . 0 Î ()12 If u0 DA , then we can apply Theorem 2.3 on the existence and uniqueness of solution. Let Tt stand for the evolutionary operator of problem (5.15).  Exercise 5.5 Prove that Tt is a compact operator in every space a , 0 £ a < 1, t > 0 .

Exercise 5.6 Prove that for any r > 0 and t > 0 the set of points of the {l spectrum of the operator Tt that are lying outside the disk : lr£} is finite and the corresponding eigensubspace is finite-di- mensional. ¢() Exercise 5.7 Assume that B v0 is a symmetric operator in H . Prove that the spectrum of the operator Tt is real.

The next assertion contains the conditions wherein the evolutionary operator St be- longs to the class C1 + a , a > 0, on the set of stationary points.

Theorem 5.2. Assume that conditions (5.1), (5.2), and (4.2) are fulfilled with q =12¤ . ()  > Let Bu possess a Frechét derivative in 12¤ such that for any R 0 + a Bu()+ v - Bu()- B ¢()u v £ CA12 v 1 ,,,a > 0 , (5.16) provided that A12 vR£ , where the constant CCuR= (), depends on u and RS only. Then the evolutionary operator t of problem (5.8) has a ()=[]()¢, Frechét derivative at every stationary point v0 . Moreover, St v0 u = Tt u , where Tt is the evolutionary operator of linear problem (5.15).

Proof. It is evident that t ìü -()t - t A S []v + u - v - T u = e íýBS()t []v + u - Bv()- B ¢()v Tt u dt . t 0 0 t ò îþ0 0 0 0 Therefore, using (1.17) and (5.16) we have 116 Long-Time Behaviour of Solutions to a Class of Semilinear Parabolic Equations

Exercise 5.8 Assume that the constant CR in (5.16) depends on only, 12 £ 12 £ Î 1 + a provided that A uR and A vR . Prove that St C for any 0 <

The reasoning above leads to the following result on the properties of the set of fixed points of problem (5.8).

Theorem 5.3. Assume that conditions (5.1), (5.2) and (4.2) are fulfilled with q = 12¤ ()  and the operator Bu possesses a Frechét derivative in 12¤ such that equation (5.16) holds with the constant CCR= () depending only on R for A12 uR£ and A12 vR£ . Then there exists an open dense (in H ) set R Î R () , such that for h the set of fixed points of the system 12¤ St gen- erated by problem (5.8) is finite. If in addition we assume that B ¢()z is a symmetric operator for zDAÎ () , then fixed points are hyperbolichyperbolic..

In particular, this theorem means that if h Î R , then the global attractor of the dy- namical system generated by equation (5.8) possesses the properties given in Exer- cises 1.6.9–1.6.12. Moreover, it is possible to apply Theorem 1.6.3 as well as the other results related to finiteness and hyperbolicity of the set of fixed points (see, e.g., the book by A. V. Babin and M. I. Vishik [1]). Systems with Lyapunov Function 117

Example 5.1 Let us consider a dynamical system generated by the nonlinear heat equation

ì ¶u ¶2 u ï  - n  + gx(), ux()= hx(),, 0 < 0, í ¶t ¶x2 (5.17) ï u ==u 0, u =u ()x , î x = 0 x = 1 t = 0 0 1(), (), in H0 01 . Assume that gx u is twice continuously differentiable with re- spect to its variables and the conditions y y ògx()x, x d ³ -a , yg()b x, y -gògx()x, x d ³ - 0 0 are fulfilled with some positive constants ab,g , and .

Exercise 5.9 Prove that the dynamical system generated by equation (5.17) possesses a global attractor A = M+ ()N , where N is the set of stationary solutions to problem (5.17).

Exercise 5.10 Prove that there exists a dense open set R in L2()01, such that for every hx()Î R the set N of fixed points of the dynamical system generated by problem (5.17) is finite and all the points are hyperbolic.

It should be noted that if a property of a dynamical system holds for the parameters from an open and dense set in the corresponding space, then it is frequently said that this property is a generic property. However, it should be kept in mind that the generic property is not the one that holds almost always. For example one can build an open and dense set R in []01, , the Lebesgue measure of which is arbitrarily small ()£ e . To do that we should take ¥ ìü R = Î (), -e< × - k - 2 È íýx 01: xrk 2 , k = 1îþ {} [], where rk is a sequence of all the rational numbers of the segment 01 . There- fore, it should be remembered that generic properties are quite frequently encoun- tered and stay stable during small perturbations of the properties of a system. 118 Long-Time Behaviour of Solutions to a Class of Semilinear Parabolic Equations

The following assertion shows that the asymptotic properties of equation (6.7) completely determine the dynamics of the system generated by problem (6.1).

In order to prove the global exis- tence theorem we consider the Galerkin approximations of problem (7.1)–(7.4).

Simplified Model of Appearance of Turbulence in Fluid 137

Lemmata 7.1 and 7.2 enable us to prove the following assertion on the existence of the global attractor.

Theorem 7.1. Let ab, Î H and let condition (7.14) hold. Then the dynamical system (), H St generated by the mild solutions to problem (7.1)–(7.4) possesses a global attractor Am . This attractor is a compact connected set. It lies in the finite-dimensional subspace N = Å {},, HN å Lin e3 k e3 k + 1 e3 k + 1 , k = 0 {} where the vectors en are defined by equalities (7.8) and the parameter N < is defined as the smallest number possessing the property qN a < m p ()+ 2 2 N 1 . Here qN is the orthoprojector onto the subspace generated by the elements {}cosnx: n ³ N +1 in H .

To prove the theorem it is sufficient to note that the dynamical system is compact (see Lemma 4.1). Therefore, we can use Theorem 1.5.1. In particular, it should be A H noted that belonging of the attractor m to the subspace N means that dimf A m £ 3 ()N +1 , where N is an arbitrary number possessing the property < m p ()+ 2 qN a 2 N 1 . Below we describe the structure of the attractor and evalu- ate its dimension exactly.

According to Lemma 7.2 the subspace HN is a uniformly exponentially attracting and positively invariant set. Therefore, by virtue of Theorem 1.7.4 it is sufficient to study the structure of the global attractor of the finite-dimensional dynamical sys- (), tem HN St . To do that it is sufficient to study the qualitative behaviour of the tra- L ££ jectory in each invariant subspace k , 0 kN (see Exercise 7.6). This behaviour is completely described by equations (7.11)–(7.13) which get trans- mm= 2 + d formed into system (1.6.4)–(1.6.6) studied before if we take k k 0 , nm=b2 - = k ak , and bk . Therefore, the results contained in Section 6 of Chapter 1 lead us to the following conclusion.

Theorem 7.2. Let the hypotheses of Theorem 7.1 hold. Then the global minimal attrac- A ()m (), tor min of the dynamical system H St generated by mild solutions to A()m = {}È S problem (7.1)–(7.4) has the form min 0 m , where ìücoskx S = íý()u ; r cosj ; r sinj  . m È È k k k p £ j < pîþ kJÎ m ()a 0 2 = m 2 - = ()mm- 2 2 12¤ = () Here uk k ak , rk kak k , the values ak Ck a are the 138 Long-Time Behaviour of Solutions to a Class of Semilinear Parabolic Equations

It should be noted that appearance of a limit invariant torus of high dimension pos- sesssing the structure described in Theorem 7.2 is usually assosiated with the Land- au-Hopf picture of turbulence appearance in fluids. Assume that the parameter m gradually decreases. Then for some fixed choice of the function ax() the following picture is sequentially observed. If m is large enough, then there exists only one at- tracting fixed point in the system. While m decreases and passes some critical value m 1 , this fixed point loses its stability and an attracting limit cycle arises in the sys- tem. A subsequent decrease of m leads to the appearance of a two-dimensional mm<

§8§ 8 On Retarded Semilinear Parabolic Equations

In this section we show how the above-mentioned ideas can be used in the study of the asymptotic properties of dynamical systems generated by the retarded perturba- tions of problem (2.1). It should be noted that systems corresponding to ordinary re- tarded differential equations are quite well-studied (see, e. g., the book by J. Hale [4]). However, there are only occasional journal publications on the retarded partial dif- ferential equations. The exposition in this section is quite brief. We give the reader an opportunity to restore the missing details independently. As before, let A be a positive operator with discrete spectrum in a separable Hilbert space HCab and let (),,q be the space of strongly continuous functions q on the segment []ab, with the values in q =qDA() , ³ 0 . Further we also use the notation Cq = Cr()- , 0 ; q , where r > 0 is a fixed number (with the meaning of the delay time). It is clear that Cq is a Banach space with the norm

Let BC be a (nonlinear) mapping of the space q into H possessing the property Bv()- Bv()£ MR()v - v ,0 £ q < 1 , (8.1) 1 2 1 2 Cq for any v , v ÎC such that v £ R , where R > 0 is an arbitrary number and MR() 1 2 q j Cq is a nondecreasing function. In the space H we consider a differential equation u d + Au = Bu(),tt³ , (8.2) dt t 0 where ut denotes the element from Cq determined with the help of the function ut() by the equality ()s =s()+ s Î []- , ut ut ,r 0 . We equip equation (8.2) with the initial condition u ()s ==ut()+ s v ()s , sÎ []-r, 0 , (8.3) t0 0 where vC is an element from q . The simplest example of problem (8.2) and (8.3) is the Cauchy problem for the nonlinear retarded diffusion equation: ¶ ì u - D = ()(), - ()()- , Î W > ï ¶ u f1 ut x f2 ut r x , x , tt0 , í t (8.4) ï ==()s ()s u ¶W 0, u s Î []- , v . î t0 rt0 () () Here rf is a positive parameter, 1 u and f2 u are the given scalar functions. As in the non-retarded case (see Section 2), we give the following definition. ()Î ()- , + ;   A function ut Ct0 r t0 T q is called a mild (in q ) solution [ ,)+ () to problem (8.2) and (8.3) on the half-interval t0 t0 T if (8.3) holds and ut satisfies the integral equation t -()tt- A -()tt- A ()= 0 ()+ 0 ()t ut e v 0 òe But d .(8.5)

t0 The following analogue of Theorem 2.1 on the local solvability of problem (8.2) and (8.3) holds.

Theorem 8.1.

Assume that (8.1) holds. Then for any initial condition vCÎ q there existsT > 0 such that problem (8.2) and (8.3) has a unique mild solution [ ,)+ on the half-interval t0 t0 T .

Proof. As in Section 2, we use the fixed point method. For the sake of simplicity we = Î consider the case t0 0 (for arbitrary t0 R the reasoning is similar). In the space Cq ()0, T º C ()0, T ; q we consider a ball 140 Long-Time Behaviour of Solutions to a Class of Semilinear Parabolic Equations

We consider the mapping KC from q()0, T into itself defined by the formula t []()= ()+ -()t - t A ()t Kw t v t òe Bwt d . 0 Here we assume that w()s =sv ()s for Î [-r,)0 . Using the estimate (see Exer- cise 1.23) q q -sA £ æöq > A e èøes ,,s 0 (8.6) (for q =q0 we suppose q = 1 ) we have that t æöq q Aq()Kw ()t - Kw ()t £  Bw()-tBw()d .(8.7) 1 2 òèøet()- t 1, t 2, t 0 If w Î B r , then max Aqwt() £ r + Aq v()0 .

Bw(), t - Bw(), t £ M ()r + v w - w 1 2 Cq 1 2 Cq ()0, T for t Î []0, T . Therefore, (8.7) implies that æöq q Kw - Kw £ 1   T 1- q M ()r + v w - w , 1 2 Cq ()0, T 1 - q èøe Cq 1 2 Cq ()0, T Î B = , if wj r , j 12 .

These two inequalities enable us to choose TT= ()qr,,v > 0 r Cq such that K is a contractive mapping of Br into itself. Consequently, there exists a unique fixed point wt()Î Cq ()0, T of the mapping K . The structure of the ope- rator Kw implies that ()+ 0 ==[]+Kw ()0 v ()0 . Therefore, the function

ì wt(), t Î []0, T , ut()= í î vt(), trÎ []- , 0 , lies in Cr()- , T ; q and is a mild solution to problem (8.2), (8.3) on the segment []0, T . Thus, Theorem 8.1 is proved.

In many aspects the theory of retarded equations of the type (8.2) is similar to the corresponding reasonings related to the problem without delay (see (2.1)). The exer- cises below partially confirm that.

Exercise 8.1 Prove the assertions similar to the ones in Exercises 2.1–2.5 and in Theorem 2.2.

Exercise 8.2 Assume that the constant MR() in (8.1) does not depend onR . Prove that problem (8.2) and (8.3) has a unique mild solution [ ,)¥ ()s Î on t0 , provided v Cq .

This implies (), the dissipativity of the dynamical system CSt . In order to prove its compactness we note that the reasoning similar to the one in the proof of Lemma 4.1 enables us to prove the existence of the absorbing set Bq which is a bounded subset of the q space Cq = Cr()- , 0 ; DA() for 12¤q<<1 .

If an infinite-dimensional dynamical system possesses a global attractor of finite dimension (see the definitions in Chapter 1), then there is, at least theoretically, a possibility to reduce the study of its asymptotic regimes to the investigation of pro- perties of a finite-dimensional system. However, as the structure of attractor cannot be described in details for the most interesting cases, the constructive investigation of this finite-dimensional system cannot be carried out. In this respect some ideas related to the method of integral manifolds and to the reduction principle are very useful. They have led to appearance and intensive use of the concept of inertial ma- nifold of an infinite-dimensional dynamical system (see [1]–[8] and the references therein). This manifold is a finite-dimensional invariant surface, it contains a global attractor and attracts trajectories exponentially fast. Moreover, there is a possibility to reduce the study of limit regimes of the original infinite-dimensional system to solving of a similar problem for a class of ordinary differential equations. In this chapter we present one of the approaches to the construction of inertial manifolds (IM) for an evolutionary equation of the type: u d + Au = Bu(), t,.u = u (0.1) dt t = 0 0 Here ut() is a function of the real variable t with the values in a separable Hilbert space H . We pay the main attention to the case when A is a positive linear operator with discrete spectrum and Bu(), t is a nonlinear mapping of H subordinated to A in some sense. The approach used here for the construction of inertial manifolds is based on a variant of the Lyapunov-Perron method presented in the paper [2]. Other approaches can be found in [1], [3]–[7], [9], and [10]. However, it should be noted that all the methods for the construction of IM known at present time require a quite l - l strong condition on the spectrum of the operator A : the difference N + 1 N of two neighbouring eigenvalues of the operator A should grow sufficiently fast asN ® ¥ .

Here ut u0 is a mild solution to problem (1.1). From the point of view of applications the existence of an inertial manifold (IM) ()- means that a regular separation of fast (in the subspace IPN H ) and slow (in the subspace PN H ) motions is possible. Moreover, the subspace of slow motions turns out to be finite-dimensional. It should be noted in advance that such separation is not unique. However, if the global attractor exists, then every IM contains it. When constructing IM we usually use the methods developed in the theory of integral manifolds for central and central-unstable cases (see [11], [12]). If the inertial manifold exists, then it continuously depends on t , i.e. limAq()#()#ps, - ()pt, = 0 ts® Î Î () for any pPN H and s R .

If we rewrite the solution ut() in the form ut()= pt()+ qt() , where ()= () ()= () = - pt PN ut, qt QN ut , and QN IPN , then equation (1.1) can be re- written as a system of two equations ì ï d pt()+ Ap() t = P Bpt()()+ qt() , ï dt N ï í d ()+ ()= ()()+ () ï qt Aq t QN Bpt qt , ï dt ï p = p º P u , q = q º Q u . î ts= 0 N 0 ts= 0 N 0 (), Î By virtue of the invariance property of IM the condition p0 q0 Ms implies that ()(), () Î = # (), ()= #()(), pt qt Mt , i.e. the equality q0 p0 s implies that qt pt t . Therefore, if we know the function # ()pt, that gives IM, then the solution ut() lying in Mt can be found in two stages: at first we solve the problem

d pt()+ Ap() t = P Bpt()()+ #()pt(), t ,,(1.10)p = p dt N ts= 0 and then we take ut()= pt()+ #()pt(), t . Thus, the qualitative behaviour of solu- tions ut() lying in IM is completely determined by the properties of differential

equation (1.10) in the finite-dimensional space PN H . Equation (1.10) is said to be the inertial form (IF) of problem (1.1). In the autonomous case (Bu(), t º Bu() ) one can use the attraction property for IM and the reduction principle (see Theorem 7.4 of Chapter 1) in order to state that the finite-dimensional IF completely deter- mines the asymptotic behaviour of the dynamical system generated by problem (1.1).

Exercise 1.2 Let #()pt, give the inertial manifold for problem (1.1). Show that IF (1.10) is uniquely solvable on the whole real axis, i.e. ()Î ()-¥¥, ; there exists a unique function pt C PN H such that equation (1.10) holds.

Exercise 1.3 Let pt() be a solution to IF (1.10) defined for all t Î R . Prove that ut()= pt()+ #()pt(), t is a mild solution to problem (1.1) de- fined on the whole time axis and such that u = p + #()p , t . ts= 0 0 Exercise 1.4 Use the results of Exercises 1.2 and 1.3 to show that if IM {} Î Mt exists, then it is strictly invariant, i.e. for any u Mt and < Î = () st there exists u0 Mt such that uut is a solution to prob- lem (1.1). Basic Equation and Concept of Inertial Manifold 153

In the sections to follow the construction of IM is based on a version of the Lyapunov- Perron method presented in the paper by Chow-Lu [2]. This method is based on the following simple fact.

Lemma 1.1. Let f ()t be a continuous function on R with the values in H such that () £ Î QN ft C ,.t R Then for the mild solution ut() (on the whole axis) to equation

d uAu+ = ft() (1.11) dt  to be bounded in the subspace QN q it is necessary and sufficient that t t () = -()ts- A ++-()t - t A ()tt -()t - t A ()tt ut e peò PN f d ò e QN f d (1.12) s -¥ Î for t R , where pP is an element from N Hs and is an arbitrary real number.

We note that the solution to problem (1.11) on the whole axis is a function ut()Î Î C ()R, H satisfying the equation t -()- -()- t ut()= e tsA us+ òe t A f ()tt d s for any s Î R .

Proof. It is easy to prove (do it yourself) that equation (1.12) gives a mild solution to (1.11) with the required property of boundedness. Vice versa, let ut() be () a solution to equation (1.11) such that QN ut q is bounded. Then the func- ()= () tion qt QN ut is a bounded solution to equation d qt()+ Aq() t = Q ft(). dt N Consequently, Lemma 2.1.2 implies that t ()= -()t - t A ()tt qt ò e QN f d . -¥ Therefore, in order to prove (1.12) it is sufficient to use the constant variation formula for a solution to the finite-dimensional equation dp  + Ap = P ft(),.pt()= P ut() dt N N Thus, Lemma 1.1 is proved. 154 Inertial Manifolds

C #(), h Lemma 1.1 enables us to obtain an equation to determine the function pt . a (), Indeed, let us assume that Bu t is bounded and there exists Mt with the func- p #(), q#(), £ Î Î t tion pt possessing the property A pt C for all pPN H and t R . e Then the solution to problem (1.1) lying in has the form r Mt 3 ut()= pt()+ #()pt(), t .

It is bounded in the subspace QNH and therefore it satisfies the equation of the form ut()= e-()ts- A p + t t ++-()t - t A ()t()tt , -()t - t A ()t()tt , ()Î òe PN Bu d ò e QN Bu d , t R .

It is proved below that under some conditions (i) integral equation (1.13) is uniquely Î#(), solvable for any pPNH and (ii) the function ps defined by equality (1.14) gives IM. In the construction of IM with the help of the Lyapunov-Perron method an im- portant role is also played by the results given in the following exercises.

§ 2 Integral Equation for Determination of Inertial Manifold

In this section we study the solvability and the properties of solutions to a class of in- tegral equations which contains equation (1.13) as a limit case. Broader treatment of the equation of the type (1.13) is useful in connection with some problems of the ap- proximation theory for IM. Î < £ ¥ º ()- , For s R and 0 L we define the space Cs Cgq, sLs as the set of continuous functions vt() on the segment []sL- , s with the values in DA()q and such that º {}-g ()st- q () < ¥ v s sup e A ut . tsLÎ[]- , s Here g is a positive number. In this space we consider the integral equation ()= sL, []() - ££ vt Bp v t ,,sL ts (2.1) where s sL, []()= -()ts- A - -()t - t A ()t()tt , + Bp v t e peò PB v d t t + ò e-()t - t A QB()t v()tt , d . sL-

C q h M ()l1 + k + q a (), + (), £ N 1  +  q1 st q2 st . p l - l - 2M lq 2 t N +1 N q N e r Hence, equation (2.3) implies (2.9). Therefore, estimate (2.10) is valid, provi- 3 ded that the hypotheses of the lemma hold. Moreover, similar reasoning enables us to show that sL, [] £ ++q Bp v s D1 A pqvs , (2.11)

where D1 is defined by formula (2.6). In particular, estimates (2.10) and (2.11) sL, mean that when sL , , and p are fixed, the operator Bp maps Cs into itself (), and is contractive. Therefore, there exists a unique fixed point vs tp . Evi- dently it possesses properties (2.4) and (2.5). Lemma 2.1 is proved.

Therefore, when we change the vari- xl= ()-t able in integration N +1 s with the help of equation (2.5) we obtain (2.13). Similarly, using (2.4) and (1.8) one can prove property (2.15). Î [], + () Let us prove assertion (c). We fix t0 ss L and assume that wt is a [], + ()= () Î [], ()= function on the segment ss L such that wt ut for tst0 and wt = () Î[]- , () vs t for tsLs . Here vs t is the solution to integral equation (2.1). Using equations (1.4) and (2.1) we obtain that t -()- t wt()==e-()ts- A ()p + #L()ps, + òe t A Bw()t()tt , d s t t -()- -()- t -()- t = e tsA pe++ò t A PB()t w()t , td ò e t A QB()t w()tt , d (2.17) s sL- ££ Î []- , for stt0 .

Let us estimate the value (2.19). If we reason in the same way as e in the proof of Lemma 2.1, then we obtain that r -()ltt- + L ìüg ()st- + L 3 Aq b ()t , st; £ e 0 N +1 íýq* ()st, -L + q ()st, -L e 0 v , L 0 îþ1 0 1 0 s s (), where q1 st is defined by formula (2.7) and t q æöæöq q -l ()t - t q* ()st, = M  + l e N +1 t .(2.20) 1 ò èøèøt - t N +1 d sL- Therefore, simple calculations give us that

Let v ()t be the solution to integral equa- 2 t0 = = () tion (2.1) for st0 and pPut0 .

§ 3 Existence and Properties of Inertial Manifolds

In particular, assertion (c) of Theorem 2.1 shows that if the spectral gap condition l - l ³ 2M ()()l+ q + lq << N +1 N q 1 k N +1 N ,,(3.1)0 q 1 is fulfilled, then the collection of surfaces = {}+ #(), Î Î Ms p ps: pPH,,s R (3.2) is invariant, i.e. (), Ì¥- < £ < ¥ Ut sMs Mt ,.st (3.3) Here #()#ps, = ¥()ps, is defined by formula (2.12) for L = ¥ and Ut(), s is the evolutionary operator corresponding to problem (1.1). It is defined by the for- (), = () () mula Ut su0 ut , where ut is a mild solution to problem (1.1). In this section we show that collection (3.2) possesses the property of exponen- {} tial uniform attraction. Hence, Mt is an inertial manifold for problem (1.1). More- over, Theorem 3.1 below states that {}M is an exponentially asymptotically t ()= (), ()= complete IM, i.e. for any solution ut Ut su0 there exists a solution u t = (), () ()Î , ³ Ut su0 lying in the manifold u t Mt ts such that -h ()- Aq()ut()- u ()t £ Ce ts,,.h > 0 ts>

In this case the solution u ()t is said to be an induced trajectory for ut() on the manifold Mt . In particular, the existence of induced trajectories means that the so- lution to original infinite-dimensional problem (1.1) can be naturally associated with the solution to the system of ordinary differential equations (1.10). 162 Inertial Manifolds

Let ut be a mild solution to problem (1.1), ()= (), *()= (), * () ut Ut su0 . We construct the induced trajectory u t Ut su0 for ut *()= ()+ () () + º ( ,,+¥ in the form u t ut wt , where wt lies in the space Cs Cs, g s DA())q of continuous functions on the semiaxis [s,)+¥ such that º {}g ()ts- q () < ¥ w s, + sup e A wt ,(3.5) ts³ gl= + ()l¤ q where N 2 Mq N .

Thus, in order to prove inequality (3.4) it is sufficient to prove the solvability of inte- + gral equation (3.7) in the space Cs and to obtain the estimate of the solution. The preparatory steps for doing this are hidden in the following exercises. Existence and Properties of Inertial Manifolds 163

In order to complete the proof of Theorem 3.1 we must prove that the function u*()t = ut()+ wt() {}, ³ () is a mild solution to problem (1.1) lying in Mt t s (here wt is a solution to integral equation (3.7) ). We can do that by using the result of Exercise 1.2, the in- {} variance of the collection Mt , and the fact that equality (3.8) is equivalent to the *()Î equation u s Ms . Theorem 3.1 is completely proved.

The construction presented in the proof of Theorem 3.1 shows that in order to build the induced trajectory for a solution ut() with the exponential order of decrease g given, it is necessary to have the information on the behaviour of the solution ut() for all values ts³ . In this connection the following simple fact on the exponential closeness of the solution ut() to its projection Pu() t + #()Pu() t , t onto the mani- fold appears to be useful sometimes.

Therefore, if the hypotheses of Theorem 3.1 hold, then a bounded solution to prob- lq lem (1.1) gets into the exponentially small (with respect to N and L ) vicinity of {}L -¥ <<¥ the manifold Ms : s at an exponential velocity. {}L According to (2.12) in order to build an approximation Ms of the inertial {} manifold Ms we should solve integral equation (2.1) for L large enough.

Theorems represented above can also be used in the case when the original system is dissipative and estimates (1.2) and (1.3) are not assumed to be uniform with respect to uDAÎ ()q . The dissipativity property enables us to restrict ourselves to the con- sideration of the trajectories lying in a vicinity of the absorbing set when we study the asymptotic behaviour of solutions to problem (0.1). In this case it is convenient to modify the original problem. Assume that the mapping Bu(), t is continuous with respect to its arguments and possesses the properties (), £ (), - (), £ q()- Bu t Cr ,(3.26)Bu1 t Bu2 t Cr A u1 u2 r > = {}q £ r for any 0 and for all uu , 1 , and u2 lying in the ball Br v : A v .

Let us now assume that Bu(), t satisfies condition (3.26) and the problem u d + Au = Bu(), t,,u = u (3.29) dt t = 0 0 has a unique mild solution on any segment []ss, + T and possesses the following > > dissipativity property: there exists R0 0 such that for any R 0 the relation Continuous Dependence of Inertial Manifold on Problem Parameters 171

Thus, if the appropriate spectral gap condition for problem (3.29) is fulfilled, then there exists a finite-dimensional surface which is a locally invariant exponentially at- tracting set.

In conclusion of this section we note that the version of the Lyapunov-Perron me- thod represented here can also be used for the construction (see [13]) of inertial manifolds for retarded semilinear parabolic equations similar to the ones considered in Section 8 of Chapter 2. In this case both the smallness of retardation and the fulfil- ment of the spectral gap condition of the form (3.1) are required.

Exercise 5.5 Study the question on the existence of an inertial manifold for problem (5.6) in which the Dirichlet boundary condition is replaced by the Neumann boundary condition (5.5). Examples and Discussion 179

It should be noted that l = 2d ()+ () ® ¥ = W n Cd n 1 o 1 ,,n d dim , l where n are the eigenvalues of the linear part of the equation of the type ¶u  = n Dufxuu+ (),,Ñ , t ,,,x Î W t > 0 ¶t in a multidimensional bounded domain W . Therefore, we can not expect that Theo- rem 3.1 is directly applicable in this case. In this connection we point out the paper [3] in which the existence of IM for the nonlinear heat equation is proved in a boun- ded domain W Ì Rd ()d £ 3 that satisfies the so-called “principle of spatial ave- raging” (the class of these domains contains two- and three-dimensional cubes). It is evident that the most severe constraint that essentially restricts an applica- tion of Theorem 3.1 is spectral gap condition (3.1). In some cases it is possible to weaken or modify it a little. In this connection we mention papers [6] and [7] in which spectral gap condition (3.1) is given with the parameters q = 2 and k = 0 for 0 £ q < 1 . Besides it is not necessary to assume that the spectrum of the opera- tor AA is discrete. It is sufficient just to require that the selfadjoint operator pos- sess a gap in the positive part of the spectrum such that for its edges the spectral condition holds. We can also assume the operator A to be sectorial rather than self- adjoint (for example, see [6]). Unfortunately, we cannot get rid of the spectral conditions in the construction of the inertial manifold. One of the approaches to overcome this difficulty runs as follows: let us consider the regularization of problem (0.1) of the form u d  ++Au e Am u = Bu(), t,.(5.10)u = u dt t = 0 0

Here e > 0 and the number m > 0 is chosen such that the operator A = A + e Am possesses spectral gap condition (3.1). Therewith IM for problem (5.10) should be naturally called an approximate IM for system (0.1). Other approaches to the con- struction of the approximate IM are presented below.

It should also be noted that in spite of the arising difficulties the number of equations of mathematical physics for which it is possible to prove the existence of IM is large enough. Among these equations we can name the Cahn-Hillard equations in the do- main W = ()0, L d , d =WdimW £ 2 , the Ginzburg-Landau equations (= ()0, L d , d £ 2 ), the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation, some equations of the theory of oscilla- tions (d = 1 ), a number of reaction-diffusion equations, the Swift-Hohenberg equa- tion, and a non-local version of the Burgers equation. The corresponding references and an extended list of equations can be found in survey [8]. In conclusion of this section we give one more interesting application of the theorem on the existence of an inertial manifold. 180 Inertial Manifolds

C h Example 5.3 a p Let us consider the system of reaction-diffusion equations t ¶ ¶ e u = n D + (), Ñ u = ¶ ufuu,,(5.11)¶ 0 r t n ¶W 3 W Ì d = (),,¼ (), x in a bounded domain R . Here uu1 um and the function fu satisfies the global Lipschitz condition:  fu(), x - fv(), h £ Lu{}- v2 + xh- 2 12,(5.12) where uv, ÎxhRm , , ÎRmd , and L > 0 . We also assume that f ()00, £ L . Problem (5.11) can be rewritten in the form (0.1) in the space HL= []2 ()W m if we suppose Au = -n Duu+ ,.Bu()= ufuu+ (), Ñ It is clear that the operator A is positive in its natural domain and it has a dis- crete spectrum. Equation (5.12) implies that the relation ìü12 Bu()- Bv() £ Luíý- v2 + Ñ()uv- 2 + uv- £ îþ æöìüìü12 £ ç÷1 + Lmaxíý1 ; 1 íýuv- 2 + n Ñ()uv- 2 èøîþn îþ

is valid for Bu . Thus, Bu()- Bv() £ MA12 ()uv- , where ìü M = 1 + Lmaxíý1 ; 1 . îþn

Therefore, problem (5.11) generates an evolutionary semigroup St (see Chap- ()12 ter 2) in the space DA . An important property of St is the following: the subspace L which consists of constant vectors is invariant with respect to this semigroup. The dimension of this subspace is equal to m . The action of the semigroup in this subspace is generated by a system of ordinary differential equations u d  = fu(), 0 ,.ut()Î L (5.13) dt

The subspace L consists of the eigenvectors of the operator A corresponding to the l =l=mnm + eigenvalue 1 1 . The next eigenvalue has the form 2 1 1 , where 1 is the first nonzero eigenvalue of the Laplace operator with the Neumann boundary condition on ¶W . Therefore, spectral gap equation (3.1) can be rewritten in the form æöìü p nm ³ 2 ç÷+ ; 1 æöæö+  nm + + 1 1 Lmaxíý1 èøèø1 1 1 1 (5.15) q èøîþn 2 =q= ¤ <<- n > for Nm and 12 , where 0 q 22 . It is clear that there exists 0 0 nn³ such that equation (5.15) holds for all 0 . Therefore, we can apply Theorem 3.1 to find that if n is large enough, then there exists IM of the type ìü M = íýp + #()p : p Î#L, : L ® H L . îþ The invariance of the subspace L and estimate (5.14) enable us to use Theorem 3.2 and to state that LMÌ# . This easily implies that ()p º 0 , i.e. ML= . Thus, Theorem 3.1 gives us that for any solution ut() to problem (5.11) there exists a so- lution u ()t to the system of ordinary differential equations (5.13) such that

§6§ 6Approximate Inertial Manifolds for Semilinear Parabolic Equations

Even in the cases when the existence of IM can be proved, the question concerning the effective use of the inertial form ¶ + = ()+ #(), , t pAp PB p pt t (6.1) is not simple. The fact is that it is not practically possible to find a more or less ex- plicit solution to the integral equation for #()pt, even in the finite-dimensional case. In this connection we face the problem of approximate or asymptotic construc- tion of an invariant (inertial) manifold. Various aspects of this problem related to fi- nite-dimensional systems are presented in the book by Ya. Baris and O. Lykova [14]. For infinite-dimensional systems the problem of construction of an approxi- mate IM can be interpreted as a problem of reduction, i.e. as a problem of construc- tive description of finite-dimensional projectors P and functions #(). , t : PH ® ® ()1 - P H such that an equation of form (6.1) “inherits” (of course, this needs to be specified) all the peculiarities of the long-time behaviour of the original system (0.1). It is clear that the manifolds arising in this case have to be close in some sense to the real IM (in fact, the dynamics on IM reproduces all the essential features of the qualitative behaviour of the original system). Under such a formulation a prob- lem of construction of IM acquires secondary importance, so one can directly con- struct a sequence of approximate IMs. Usually (see the references in survey [8]) the problem of the construction of an approximate IM can be formulated as follows: find a surface of the form = {}+ #(), Î Mt p pt: pPH,(6.2) which attracts all the trajectories of the system in its small vicinity. The character of l-1 closeness is determined by the parameter N +1 related to the decomposition Approximate Inertial Manifolds for Semilinear Parabolic Equations 183

()0 0 In this case Mt is a finite-dimensional subspace in whereas inertial form (6.1) turns into the standard Galerkin approximation of problem (0.1) corresponding to ()1 this subspace. One can find the simplest non-trivial approximation Mt using for- mula (6.2) and assuming that #()#, = (), º -1()- (), pt 1 pt A 1 P Bp t.(6.4) ()1 The consideration of system (0.1) on Mt leads to the second equation of equa- tions (6.3) being replaced by the equality A q = ()1 - P Bp(), t . The results of the computer simulation (see the references in survey [8]) show that the use of just the first approximation to IM has a number of advantages in comparison with the tradi- tional Galerkin method (some peculiarities of the qualitative behaviour of the system can be observed for a smaller number of modes).

There exist several methods of the construction of an approximate IM. We present the approach based on Lemma 2.1 which enables us to construct an approximate IM of the exponential order, i.e. the surfaces in the phase space H such that their expo- l nentially small (with respect to the parameter N +1 ) vicinities uniformly attract all the trajectories of the system. For the first time this approach was used in paper [15] for a class of stochastic equations in the Hilbert space. Here we give its deterministic version. Let us consider the integral equation (see(2.1)) ()= sL, []() - ££ vt Bp v t , sL ts =rrl-q and assume that L N +1 , where the parameter possesses the property æöqq -()- q qMº  l 1 r1- q + r < 1 .(6.5) èø1 - q 1 In this case equations (2.2) hold. Hence, Lemma 2.1 enables us to construct a collec- {}L = rl-q tion of manifolds Ms for L N +1 with the help of the formula L = {}+ #L(), Î Ms p ps: pPH,(6.6) where s -()- t #L()ps, = ò e s A QB()t v()tt , d º Qv() s, p .(6.7) sL- ()= (), = rl-q Here vt vt p is a solution to integral equation (2.1) and L N +1 . 184 Inertial Manifolds

It follows from (6.16) that under the condition sL+ ¤ 2 ££tsL+ the equation ()£ a ()+ b (), ¤ dt NL, ds N LL2 (6.17) holds with L -l  -q+ q a L a = e N + 1 2 + a M ()l1+ k 1 +  e 2 .

This implies (6.9) and (6.11) if we take N +1 in the equa- b (), ¤ tion for N LL2 . Thus, Theorem 6.1 is proved.

In particular, it should be noted that relations (6.9) and (6.11) also mean that a solu- tion to problem (0.1) possessing the property (6.10) reaches the layer of the thick- e = {}-l1- q {}L ness N c1 exp c2 N +1 adjacent to the surface Mt given by equation (6.6) for t large enough. Moreover, it is clear that if problem (0.1) is autonomous ()Bu, t º Bu and if it possesses a global attractor, then the attractor lies in this layer. In the autonomous case ML does not depend on t (see Exercise 6.1). These observations give us some information about the position of the attractor in the phase space. Sometimes they enable us to establish the so-called localization theo- rems for the global attractor.

In particular, the result of this exercise means that assumption (6.10) holds for any > (), £ RR0 and for t* large enough under the condition Bu t M . In the general case equation (6.10) is a variant of the dissipativity property.

#L(), Therefore, the function n ps generates a collection of approximate inertial l manifolds of the exponential (with respect to N +1 ) order for n large enough.

We use Theorem 6.1 and the asymptotic formula l ~ 2d ® ¥ N c0 N ,,N for the eigenvalues of the operator -WD in Ì Rd to obtain that in the Sobolev 1()W space H0 for any N there exists a finite-dimensional Lipschitzian surface MN of the dimension N such that ()(), £ {}-s 1d ()- + {}-s 1d dist 1()W ut MN C1exp 1 N tt* C2 exp 2 N H0 ³ 1()W () for tt* and for any mild (in H0 ) solution ut to problem (6.20).

Exercise 6.5 Use Theorem 6.1 to construct approximate inertial manifolds for (a) the nonlocal Burgers equation, (b) the Cahn-Hilliard equa- tion, and (c) the system of reaction-diffusion equations (see Sec- tions 3 and 4 of Chapter 2).

In conclusion of the section we note (see [8], [9]) that in the autonomous case the ap- proximate IM can also be built using the equation áñ#¢()p ; - Ap + PB() p + #()p + A#()p = QB() p + #()p .(6.22) Here pPHÎ , QIP=#¢- , ()p is the Frechét derivative and áñ #¢()p , w is its value at the point pw on the element . At least formally, equation (6.22) can be ob- tained if we substitute the pair {}pt(); #()pt() into equation (6.3). The second of l-1 equations (6.3) implicitly contains a small parameter N +1 . Therefore, using (6.22) {}# we can suggest an iteration process of calculation of the sequence m giving the approximate IM:

A# ()p = QB() p+ #n ()()p + k 1 k ¢ + áñ#n ()()p ; Ap- PB() p + #n ()k ()p ,,(6.23)k ³ 1 2 k 3 n () where the integers i k are such that ££n () - n()= ¥ = ,, 0 i k k 1 ,,.lim i k i 123 k ® ¥ One should also choose the zeroth approximation and concretely define the form of n () #()ºn()= - = ,, the values i k (for example, we can take 0 v 0 and i k k 1 , i 12 3 ). When constructing a sequence of approximate IMs one has to solve only a linear stationary problem on each step. From the point of view of concrete calculations this gives certain advantages in comparison with the construction used in Theorem 6.1. However, these manifolds have the power order of approximation only (for detailed discussion of this construction and for proofs see [9]).

§ 7 Inertial Manifold for Second Order in Time Equations

The approach to the construction of IM given in Sections 2–4 is essentially based on the fact that the system has form (0.1) with a selfadjoint positive operator A . How- ever, there exists a wide class of problems which cannot be reduced to this form. From the point of view of applications the important representatives of this class are second order in time systems arising in the theory of nonlinear oscillations:

We assume that m A is a selfadjoint positive operator with discrete spectrum (k and ek are the cor- responding eigenvalues and eigenelements) and the mapping Bu(), t possesses the properties of the type (1.2) and (1.3) for 0 ££q 12¤ , i.e. Bu(), t is a continuous mapping from DA()q ´ R into H such that (), £ B 0 t M0 , (), - (), £ q()- Bu1 t Bu2 t M1 A u1 u2 ,(7.2) ££q ¤ , Î ())q º  where 0 12 and u1 u2 D q .

The simplest example of a system of the form (7.1) is the following nonlinear wave equation with dissipation:

These exercises show that although problem (7.1) can be represented in the form (7.5) which is formally identical to (0.1) we cannot use Theorem 3.1 here. Neverthe- less, after a small modification the reasoning of Sections 2–4 enables us to prove the existence of IM for problem (7.1). Such a modification based on an idea from [16] is given below. First of all we prove the solvability of problem (7.1). Let us first consider the li- near problem

In particular, the exercises above show that for ht()º 0 problem (7.8) generates a linear evolutionary semigroup e-t A in the space 0 = DA()12 ´ H by the formula -t A (); = ()(); \ () e u0 u1 ut u t ,(7.15) where ut() is a mild solution to problem (7.8) for ht()º 0 .

Let us analyse condition (7.39). Equation (7.31) implies that (7.39) holds if m - m e2 ³ m N +1 N ³ 4 mq - 12¤ 2 N +1 ,.(7.41)M1 N +1 e2 - m q 2 N However, if we assume that

This enables us to formulate the assertion on the existence of IM as follows.

Equation (7.44) implies that there exists k0 such that the intervals []m , m + m ³ 2 Nk()+1 2 Nk()+1 Nk(),,kk0 [e ,)+¥ cover some semiaxis 0 . Indeed, otherwise there would appear a subse- {}() quence Nkj such that m ()< 2 ()m ()+ + - m ()+ Nkj Nkj 1 1 Nkj 1 ee³ But that is impossible due to (7.44). Consequently, for any 0 there exists NN= e such that equations (7.42), (7.43) as well as (7.39) hold. ¶ Exercise 7.18 Consider problem (7.3) with the function fx()=,, t u ,u ¶x = fx(),, t u possessing the property (),, - (),, £ - fx t u1 fx t u2 Lu1 u2 . Use Theorem 7.1 to find a domain in the plane of the parameters ()e, L for which one can guarantee the existence of an inertial ma- nifold. 200 Inertial Manifolds

C h § 8 Approximate Inertial Manifolds a p for Second Order in Time Equations t e r 3 As seen from the results of Section 7, in order to guarantee the existence of IM for aproblem of the type 2u u d ++g d  Au = Bu() , dt2 dt (8.1) u u ==u , d u , t = 0 0 t 1 d t = 0 we have to require that the parameter g = 2 e > 0 be large enough and the spectral gap condition (see (7.41)) be valid for the operator A . Therefore, as in the case with parabolic equations there arises a problem of construction of an approximate inertial manifold without any assumptions on the behaviour of the spectrum of the operator A and the parameter g > 0 which characterizes the resistance force. Unfortunately, the approach presented in Section 6 is not applicable to the equation of the type (8.1) without any additional assumptions on g . First of all, it is connected with the fact that the regularizing effect which takes place in the case of parabolic equations does not hold for second order equations of the type (8.1) (in the parabolic case the solution at the moment t > 0 is smoother than its initial con- dition). In this section (see also [17]) we suggest an iteration scheme that enables us to construct an approximate IM as a solution to a class of linear problems. For the sake of simplicity, we restrict ourselves to the case of autonomous equations (Bu, t º º)Bu. The suggested scheme is based on the equation in functional derivatives such that the function giving the original true IM should satisfy it. This approach was developed for the parabolic equation in [9] (see also [8]). Unfortunately, this ap- proach has two defects. First, approximate IMs have the power order (not the expo- nential one as in Section 6) and, second, we cannot prove the convergence of approximate IMs to the exact one when the latter exists.

Thus, in a separable Hilbert space H we consider a differential equation of the type (8.1) where g is a positive number, A is a positive selfadjoint operator with discrete spectrum and B (). is a nonlinear mapping from the domain DA()12 of the operator A12 into Hm such that for some integer ³ 2 the function Bu() lies in Cm as a mapping from DA()12 into H and for every r > 0 the following estimates hold:

In fact, the classes LmR, are studied in [18]. This paper contains necessary and sufficient conditions which guarantee that a solution belongs to a class LmR, . It should be noted that in [18] the nonlinear wave equation of the type ¶2 ++g¶ - D ()= () Î W > t u t uugu fx, x , t 0 , (8.5) u ==0, u u ()x , ¶ u =u ()x , ¶W t = 0 0 t t = 0 1 serves as the main example. Here g > 0 , fx()Î C¥ ()W and the conditions set on the function gs() from C¥ ()R are such that we can take gu()= sinu or gu()= = u2 p +1 , where p = 012,,,¼ for d = dim W £ 2 and p = 01, for d = 3 .

In this example the classes LmR, are nonempty for all m . Other examples will be given in Chapter 4. = We fix an integer NPP and assume N to be the projector in H onto the sub- space generated by the first N eigenvectors of the operator A . Let QIP= - . If we apply the projectors PQ and to equation (8.1), then we obtain the following sys- tem of two equations for pt()= PU() t and qt()= Qu() t : ¶2 ++g¶ = ()+ t p t pAp PB p q , (8.6) ¶2 ++g¶ = ()+ t q t qAq QB p q . The reasoning below is formal. Its goal is to obtain an iteration scheme for the deter- mination of an approximate IM.

Theorem 8.1 and equation (8.4) imply the following lemma.

§ 9 Idea of Nonlinear Galerkin Method

Approximate inertial manifolds have proved to be applicable to the computational study of the asymptotic behaviour of infinite-dimensional dissipative dynamical sys- tems (for example, see the discussion and the references in [8]). Their usage leads to the appearance of the so-called nonlinear Galerkin method [20] based on the re- placement of the original problem by its approximate inertial form. In this section we discuss the main features of this method using the following example of a second or- der in time equation of type (8.1): 2u u u d ++g d  Au = Bu(),,u = u d  = u .(9.1) 2 dt t = 0 0 t 1 dt d t = 0 If all conditions on A and B(). given in the previous section are fulfilled, then {}; Theorem 8.2 is valid. It guarantees the existence of a family of mappings hk lk from PH´ PH into QH possessing the properties: º (), r º (), r = , 1) there exist constants Mj Mj n and Lj Lj n , j 12 , such that (), \ £ 12 (), \ £ Ahn p0 p0 M1 ,e,(9.2)A ln p0 p0 M2

For n = 0 equation (9.9) transforms into the standard Galerkin approximation of problem (9.1) (due to (9.7)). If n > 0 , then we obtain a class of numerical methods which can be naturally called the non- linear Galerkin methods. However, we cannot use equation (9.9) in the computa- (), \ tional study directly. The point is that, first, in the calculation of hn pp we have to solve a linear equation in the infinite-dimensional space QH and, second, we can lose the dissipativity property. Therefore, we need additional regularization. It can (), \ (), \ be done as follows. Assume that fn pp stands for one of the functions hn pp (), \ or ln pp .

l £ ln + 1 parameters NM , , and n are compatible such that M +1 N +1 , then the error of the corresponding nonlinear Galerkin method has the same order of smallness as in the standard Galerkin method which uses M basis functions. However, if we use the nonlinear method, we have to solve a number of linear algebraic systems of the order MN- and the Cauchy problem for system (9.11) which consists of N equations.

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 theo- ry of oscillations of distributed parameter systems. The main object is the following second order in time equation in a separable Hilbert space H : 2 d +++g d 2 æö12¤ 2 += () u uAuMAèøu Au Lu pt , (0.1) dt2 dt u u = u , d = u , (0.2) t = 0 0 t 1 d t = 0 where AHMs is a positive operator with discrete spectrum in , () is a real function (its properties are described below), LHpt is a linear operator in , () 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 dy- namics of a plate can be described by the following quasilinear partial differential equation: æö ¶2 +++g¶ D2 ç÷G - Ñ 2 D +r¶ = (), t u t u u u dx u x u px t , (0.3) èøò 1 W ÎW(), ÌÌ2 > xx1 x2 R , t 0 with boundary and initial conditions of the form ==D = () ¶ = () u ¶W u ¶W 0 , u = u0 x , tu u1 x . (0.4) t 0 t = 0 Here DWg is the Laplace operator in the domain ; >r0 , ³G0 , and are con- (), () () stants; and px 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 pres- sure on the plate is taken into account according to Ilyushin’s “piston” theory (see, r¶ r e. g., [3]) and is described by the term x1u . The parameter is determined by the velocity of the flow. The function ux(), t measures the plate deflection at the point xt and the moment . The boundary conditions imply that the edges of the plate are hinged. The function px(), 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 solu- tion and to prove the existence of a global attractor for a nonlinear evolutionary se- cond 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 218 The Problem on Nonlinear Oscillations of a Plate in a Supersonic Gas Flow

C h aerodynamical loads. The modern look on the flutter instability of a plate is the fol- a lowing: there arises the Andronov-Hopf bifurcation leading to the appearance of p t a stable limit cycle in the system. However, there are experimental and numerical e data that enable us to conjecture that an increase in flow velocity may result in the r complication of the dynamics and appearance of chaotic fluctuations [4]. Therefore, 4 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 s generated by a positive ope- rator AH with discrete spectrum acting in a separable Hilbert space . We remind  (see Section 2.1) that the space s is defined by the equation ìü¥ ¥  º ()s = 2 l2 s < ¥ s DA íýv : å ck ek : å ck k , îþ k = 1 k = 1 {} where ek is the orthonormal basis of the eigenelements of the operator AH in , l ££l ¼ 1 2 are the corresponding eigenvalues and s is a real parameter =  = <  (fors 0 we have s H and for s 0 the space s should be treated as a class  of formal series). The norm in s is given by the equality ¥ ¥ 2 = l2 s = v s å ck k forvcå k ek . k = 1 k = 1 2 (), ;  Further we use the notation L 0 T s for the set of measurable functions [],  on the segment 0 T with the values in the space s such that the norm æöT 12¤ ç÷ v = vt()2 dt 2(), ;  ç÷ò s L 0 T s èø0 is finite. The notation Lp()0, T ; X has a similar meaning for 1 ££p ¥ . We remind that a function ut 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 se- quence of functions N ()= c () uN t å uNk, Nk, t k = 1 Î [], c () for almost all t 0 T , where uNk, are elements of H and Nk, t are the cha- racteristic functions of the pairwise disjoint Lebesgue measurable sets ANk, . One Spaces 219 can prove (see, e.g., the book by K. Yosida [5]) that for separable Hilbert spaces un- der consideration a function ut() is measurable if and only if the scalar function ()(), Î () ut h H is measurable for every hH . Furthermore, a function ut is said to be Bochner integrable over []0, T if T ut()- u ()t 2 t ® 0 ,,N ® ¥ ò N H d 0 {}() where uN t is a sequence of simple functions defined above. The integral of the function ut over a measurable set S Ì []0, T is defined by the equation T () = c ()t ()t t ut dt lim S uN d , ò N ® ¥ ò S 0 c ()t where S 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 Le- besgue integration theory remain true.

Exercise 1.1 Let ut() be a function on []0, T with the values in a sepa- rable Hilbert space H . If there exists a sequence of measurable func- () ()® () () tions un t such that un t ut almost everywhere, then ut is also measurable.

(1.1) 4 k = 1 0 (), ;  [], Below we also use the space C 0 T s of strongly continuous functions on 0 T  with the values in s and the norm v (), ;  = max vt() . C 0 T s t Î []0, T s

()  Exercise 1.5 Let ut be a function with the values in s integrable over []0, T . Show that the function t vt()= ò u()t dt 0 (), ;  () lies in C 0 T s . Moreover, vt is an absolutely continuous  e >d> function with the values in s , i.e. for any 0 there exists 0 []a , b Ì [], such that for any collection of disjoint segments k k 0 T the condition å ()b - a < d implies that k k k v()b - v()a < e . å k k s k

Exercise 1.6 Show that for any absolutely continuous function vt() on [],  () 0 T with the values in s there exists a function ut with the  [], values in s such that it is integrable over 0 T and t vt()= v()0 + ò u()t dt ,.t Î []0, T 0 (Hint: use the one-dimensional variant of this assertion).

The space ìü\ W = íývt(): vt()Î L2()0, T ;  , v()t Î L2 ()0, T ; H (1.2) T îþ1 with the norm æö\ 12¤ v = v 2 + v 2 W èø2 (), ;  L2()0, T ; H T L 0 T 1 \ plays an important role below. Hereinafter the derivative v()t = dv¤ dt stands for a function integrable over []0, T and such that Spaces 221

t \ vt()= hv+ ò ()t dt 0 almost everywhere for some hHÎ (see Exercises 1.5 and 1.6). Evidently, the space (), ; () WT is continuously embedded into C 0 T H , i.e. every function ut from WT lies in C ()0, T ; H and () £ max ut CuW , t Î []0, T T where C is a constant. This fact is strengthened in the series of exercises given be- low.

§ 2 Auxiliary Linear Problem

In this section we study the properties of a solution to the following linear problem:

() Here A is a positive operator with discrete spectrum. The vectors ht , u0 , u1 as well as the scalar function bt() 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 ht()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 func- ()Î ()= tion ut WT such that u 0 u0 and the equation T T \ \ - ò ()u()t + gut(), v ()t dt +ò ()Au() t + bt()ut(), Av() t dt = 0 0 T = ()+ g , ()+ ()(), () u1 u0 v 0 ò ht vt dt (2.3) 0 ()Î ()= \ holds for any function vt WT such that vT 0 . As above, u stands for the derivative of ut with respect to .

This solution possesses the properties () Î (), ;  \ ()Î (), ;  ut C 0 T 1 , u t C 0 T 0 (2.5) and satisfies the energy equation t t 1 æö\ \ \  u()t 2 + Au() t 2 ++g u()t 2 dt b()t ()tAu()t , u()t d = 2 èøò ò 0 0 t 1 æö\ =  u 2 + Au 2 + ()th()t , u()t d .

C h Proof. a We use the compactness method to prove this theorem. At first we construct ap- p t proximate solutions to problem (2.1) and (2.2). The approximate Galerkin solution e {} r (to this problem) of the order me with respect to the basis k is considered to be the function 4 m ()= () um t å gk t ek (2.7) k = 1 satisfying the equations ()\\ ++g \ 2 +() - (), = um um A um bt Aum ht ej 0 , (2.8) ()(), = (), ()\ (), = (), = ,,¼ , um 0 ej u0 ej ,,.(2.9)um 0 ej u1 ej j 12 m ()Î 1 (), \ () Here gk t C 0 T and gk t is absolutely continuous. Due to the orthogonality {} of the basis ek equations (2.8) and (2.9) can be rewritten as a system of ordinary differential equations: \\ ++g \ l2 - ()l = ()º ()(), gk gk k gk bt k gk hk t ht ek e, ()= (), \ ()= (), = ,,¼ , gk 0 u0 ek ,,gk 0 u1 ek k 12 m .

Lemma 2.1 Assume that g > 0 , a ³ 0 , bt() is continuous, and ct() is a measu- rable bounded function. Then the Cauchy problem ì \\ \ ï g ++g g aa()- bt() g = ct(), t Î []0, T , í (2.10) \ ï g()0 = g , g ()0 = g î 0 1 is uniquely solvable on any segment []0, T .

Moreover, if bt()Î C1()0, T , ct()º 0 and for all 0 t t Î []0, T the conditions g2 \ æö - 1 a +  ££bt() 1 a ,,b()t + g a - bt() ³ 0 (2.12) 2 a 2 èø4 hold, then the following estimate is valid: \ æög g ()t 2 + a2 gt()2 £ 3 ()g2 + a2 g2 exp - t . (2.13) 1 0 èø2 Auxiliary Linear Problem 225

Proof. Problem (2.10) is solvable at least locally, i.e. there exists t such that a so- lution exists on the half-interval [0,)t . Let us prove estimate (2.11) for the in- \ terval of existence of solution. To do that, we multiply equation (2.10) byg()t . As a result, we obtain that \ \ \ 1 d ()gg\2 + a2 g2 + g2 = ab() t gg+ ct()g . 2 dt We integrate this equality and use the equations \ \ \ \ abt()gg £ 1 max bt()æög2 + a2 g2 ,,cg £ g g2 + 1 c2 2 t èø 4g to obtain that t t \ 2 2 2 1 \ 2 2 g()t + a2 gt() £ g ++a2 g  c2()t d t +b ()tg()t + a2 g()t d . 1 0 2g ò 0 ò 0 0 This and Gronwall’s lemma give us (2.11). In particular, estimate (2.11) enables us to prove that the solution gt() 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 \ ()2 + 2 ()2 £ (); , << < g t a gt CT g0 g1 ,.0 ttT \\ Therefore, (2.10) gives us that the derivative g()t is bounded on [)0, t . Hence, the values t t \ ()= + \\ ()t t ()= + \ ()t t g t g0 òg d , gt g0 òg d 0 0 are continuous up to the point t . If we now apply the local theorem on exis- tence to system (2.10) with the initial conditions at the point t that are equal to \ gt() and g()t , then we obtain that the solution can be extended through t . This contradiction implies that the solution gt() exists on an arbitrary segment []0, T . Let us prove estimate (2.13). To do that, we consider the function

Moreover, it follows from ()= () (2.17) that u 0 u0 . Therefore, the function ut is a weak solution to problem (2.1) and (2.2). In order to prove the uniqueness of weak solutions we consider the function ì ï s ï - u()t t, ts< , ()= ò d vs t í (2.18) ï t ï î 0, stT££, for s Î []0, T .

Exercise 2.5 Let ut() be a weak solution to problem (2.1) and (2.2). Prove 2 ()Î (), ;  that A ut C 0 T -1 and t \ ()+ g () = + g - ()t2 ()t + ()t ()t - ()t u t ut u1 u0 ò A u b Au h d . 0  Here we treat the equality as an equality of elements in -1 . (Hint: use the results of Exercises 2.1 and 2.1.3).

Exercise 2.6 Let ut() be a weak solution to problem (2.1) and (2.2) con- structed in Theorem 2.1. Then the function u\ ()t is absolutely conti-  nuous as a vector-function with the values in -1 while the derivati- \\ () ¥ (), ;  ve u t belongs to the space L 0 T -1 . Moreover, the function ut() satisfies equation (2.1) if we treat it as an equality of elements  Î [], in -1 for almost all t 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 mo- ment t0 which is not equal to zero.

Now we consider the case ht()º 0 and construct the evolutionary operator of prob- lem (2.1) and (2.2). To do that, let us consider the family of spaces H =s ´  ³ s 1 + s s ,.0 H = () Î  Î  Every space s is a set of pairs yu; v such that u 1 + s and v s . We define the inner product in Hs by the formula (), = (), + (), y1 y2 u1 u2 + s v1 v2 s . Hs 1

Exercise 2.7 Prove that Hs is compactly embedded into Hs for s > s . 1 1 H (); In the space 0 we define the evolutionary operator Ut t0 of problem (2.1) and (2.2) for ht()º 0 by the equation (); = ()(); \ () Ut t0 yutu t , (2.21) where ut() is a solution to (2.1) and (2.2) at the moment t with initial conditions = (); that are equal to yu0 u1 at the moment t0 . The following assertion plays an important role in the study of asymptotic be- haviour of solutions to problem (0.1) and (0.2). 230 The Problem on Nonlinear Oscillations of a Plate in a Supersonic Gas Flow

Proof. Semigroup property a) follows from the uniqueness of a weak solution. The boundedness property of the operator Ut(); t follows from (2.22). Let us prove relations (2.22) and (2.23). It is sufficient to consider the case t = 0 . According to the definition of the evolutionary operator we have that (); = ()(); \ () = () Ut 0 yutu t ,,yu0 ; u1 where ut() is the weak solution to problem (2.1) and (2.2) for ht()º 0 . Due to (2.17) it can be represented as a convergent series of the form ¥ ()= () ut å gk t ek . k = 1 Moreover, Lemma 2.1 implies that b t \ ()2 + l2 ()2 £ ()\ ()2 + l2 ()2 0 gk t k gk t gk 0 k gk 0 e .

Exercise 2.9 Use the result of Exercise 2.2 to show that Theorem 2.1 and Theorem 2.2 (a, b) with another constant in (2.22) also remain true for g < 0 . Use this fact to prove that if the hypotheses of Theorems 2.1 and 2.2 hold on the whole time axis, then problem (2.1) and (2.2) is solvable in the class of functions W = ();  Ç 1();  C R 1 C R 0 with g ³ 0 .

Exercise 2.10 Show that the evolutionary operator Ut(), t has a bounded inverse operator in every space Hs for s ³ 0 .

C h § 4 Smoothness of Solutions a p t e r In the study of smoothness properties of solutions constructed in Section 3 we use 4 some ideas presented in paper [9]. The main result of this section is the following as- sertion.

Theorem 4.1 Let the hypotheses of Theorem 3.1 hold. We assume that Mz()Î Î l +1 () () l (), ;  ³ C R+ and the load pt lies in C 0 T 0 for some l 1 . Then for a weak solution ut() to problem (0.1) and (0.2) to possess the properties ()k ()Î (), ;  = ,,,¼ ,- u t C 0 T 2 , k 012 l 1 , (4.1) ()l ()Î (), ;  ()l + 1 ()Î (), ;  u t C 0 T 1 , u t C 0 T 0 , it is necessary and sufficient that the following compatibility conditions are fulfilled: ()k ()Î  = ,,,¼ ,- ()l ()Î  u 0 2 ,,;k 012 l 1 ;;.u 0 1 . (4.2) Here u()j ()t is a strong derivative of the function ut() with respect to t of the order ju and the values ()k ()0 are recurrently defined by the initial

conditions u0 and u1 with the help of equation (0.1): ()0 ()= ()1 ()= u 0 u0 ,,,u 0 u1 , ì u()k ()0 = -í gu()k - 1 ()0 +++A2u()k - 2 ()0 Lu()k - 2 ()0 î k - 2 ü + d æöæö12¤ ()2 ()- () k - 2 èøMAèøut Au t pt ý , (4.3) dt t = 0þ where k = 23,,¼ .

Proof. It is evident that if a solution ut() 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 condi- Î  Î  tions have the form: u0 2 , u1 1 . As in the proof of Theorem 3.1 we consider the Galerkin approximation m ()= () um t å gk t ek k = 1 of the order m for a solution to problem (0.1) and (0.2).

Further arguments are based on the following assertion.

Lemma 4.1 Let ut() be a weak solution to the linear problem ì \\ \ ï u()t ++ gu()t A2 ut() +bt()Au = ht() , í (4.16) ï u()0 = u , î 0 where bt() is a scalar continuously differentiable function, ht()Î Î 1 (), ;  Î  Î  C 0 T 0 and u0 2 , u1 1 .

Proof. () Let um t be the Galerkin approximation of the order m of a solution to () problem (4.16) (see (2.7)).

Theorem 5.2 Let the hypotheses of Theorem 5.1 hold and assume that for some s > 0 s s p Î s ,,,LD() A Ì DA(), A Lu£ C Au . (5.10)

Due to the compactness of the embedding of Hs in H for s > 0 , this theorem and ()H, Lemma 1.4.1 imply that the dynamical system St is asymptotically compact.

Proof. ()H, > Since the system St is dissipative, there exists R 0 such that for all Î ³ = () yB and tt0 t0 B \ u()t 2 + Au() t 2 £ R2 , (5.12) where ut() is a weak solution to problem (0.1) and (0.2) with the initial conditions = (); Î () yu0 u1 B . We consider ut as a solution to linear problem (2.1) and (2.2) with bt()= MA()12¤ ut()2 and ht()= - Lu() t + p . It is easy to verify that bt() is a continuously differentiable function and \ ()+ () £ ³ bt b t CR ,.tt0 Moreover, equation (2.27) implies that = (), ()+ (), ; St yUtt0 yt0 Gt t0 y , (5.13) where t (), ; = - (), t ()t; ()t - Gtt0 y ò Ut 0 Lu p d .

The continuity of St y with recpect to the both variables ()ty; in the space H (see Exercise 3.8) and attraction property (5.17) imply that Ks is a closed set in H . Let us prove that Ks is bounded in Hs . First we note that H £ Ks is bounded in . Indeed, by virtue of the dissipativity we have that St yR Î ³ º () for all yBs and tts tBs . Since St y is continuous with respect to the vari- ables ()ty; , its maximum is attained on the compact []0, ts ´ Bs . Thus, there exists > £ Î = R 0 such that yR for all yKs . Let us return to equality (5.16) for t0 0 Î H and y0 Bs . It is evident that the norm of the right-hand side in the space s is bounded by the constant CC= ()s, R .

Dissipativity and Asymptotic Compactness 251

Let us consider the dissipativity properties of smooth solutions (see Section 4) to problem (0.1) and (0.2).

Theorem 5.3 l + 1 Let the hypotheses of Theorem 5.1 hold.

We use induction to prove the theorem. The proof is based on the following asser- tion.

Lemma 5.2 Assume that the hypotheses of Theorem 5.3 hold for l = 1 . Then the dy- ()H , namical system 1 St generated by problem (0.1) and (0.2) in the H =  ´  space 1 2 1 is dissipative.

Proof. ()(); \ () = Let ut u t St y0 be a semitrajectory of the dynamical system ()H , S and let y = ()u ; u Î H =  ´  . If the hypotheses of the lem- 1 t 0 0 1 \ 1 2 1 ma hold, then the function wt()= u()t is a weak solution to problem (4.15) ob- tained 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 wt() . We rewrite it in the differential form: \ \ d Ft()g; wt(), w()t +Yw()t 2 = ()ut(), wt() , (5.20) dt where \ æö\ æö Ft(); w, w = 1 w 2 ++Aw 2 MA12¤ ut()2 × A12¤ w 2 (5.21) 2 èøèø and \ Y()ut(), wt() =+-()Lw() t , w()t

In order to complete the proof of Theorem 5.3, we should note first that Lemma 5.2 coincides with the assertion of the theorem for l = 1 and second we should use the fact that the derivatives u()k ()t are weak solutions to the problem obtained by dif- ferentiation of the original equation. The main steps of the reasoning are given in the following exercises.

§ 6 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 pt()º p enable us to apply the gene- ral 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 ()H, the dynamical system St generated by problem (0.1) and (0.2) pos- sesses a global attractor A of a finite fractal dimension. This attractor is HH=  ´  a connected compact set in and is bounded in the space s 1+ s s , 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 dimen- sionality 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 pHÎ . {}³ = , Then for any pair of semitrajectories St yj : t 0 , j 12, posses- £ ³ sing the property St yj R for all t 0 the estimate - £ ()- ³ St y1 St y2 H exp a0 t y1 y2 H ,,t 0 (6.1)

Proof. () () If u1 t and u2 t are solutions to problem (0.1) and (0.2) with the initial = (); = (); ()= conditions y1 u01 u11 and y2 u02 u12 , then the function vt = ()- () u1 t u2 t satisfies the equation \\ ++g \ 2 =  (),, v v A v u1 u2 t , (6.2) where  (),,= æö12¤ ()2 ()- æö12¤ ()2 ()- () u1 u2 t MAèøu2 t Au2 t MAèøu1 t Au1 t Lv t . It is evident that the estimate  (),, £ × ()()- () u1 u2 t CR Au1 t u2 t \ holds, provided that y ()t 2 = u ()t 2 + u ()t 2 £ R2 Therefore, (2.20) i H i i 1 . implies that t - 2 £ - 2 + - 2 t St y1 St y2 H y1 y2 H a1 ò St y1 St y2 H d . 0 Gronwall’s lemma gives us equation (6.1).

Lemma 6.2

Assume that the hypotheses of Theorem 6.1 hold. Let Ks be the compact positively invariant set constructed in Theorem 5.2. Then for any , Î y1 y2 Ks the inequality g - t æöLs a t Q ()S y - S y £ a e 4 ç÷1 +  e 3 y - y (6.3) N t 1 t 2 H 2 ls 1 2 H èøN +1 = - ³ is valid, where QN 1 PN , NN0 , the orthoprojector PN and the number N0 are defined as in (5.14), Ls and ai are positive constants which depend on the parameters of the problem.

Proof. It is evident that = ()(); \ () QN St yi qN ui t qN ui t , { where qN is the orthoprojector onto the closure of the span of elements ek : =}+ ,,+¼  = ()= ()()- () kN1 N 2 in 0 H . Moreover, the function wN t qN u1 t u2 t is a solution to the equation

³ Let us choose t0 and NN0 such that ìüg d -s a exp íý- t =  ,,.Ls l + exp{}a t £d 1 < 1 2 îþ4 0 2 N 1 3 0 Then Lemmata 6.1 and 6.2 enable us to state that - £ - S y S y ly y H t0 1 t0 2 H 1 2 and ()- £ d - Q S y S y y y H , N t0 1 t0 2 H 1 2 a t = 0 0 A where le and the elements y1 and y2 lie in the global attractor . Hence, we can use Theorem 1.8.1 with M = A , VS= , and PP= . Therefore, the fractal t0 N dimension of the attractor A is finite. Thus, Theorem 6.1 is proved. Global Attractor and Inertial Sets 257

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 ()H, dynamical system 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 Ì H a compact positively invariant set exp of the finite fractal dimen- sion such that

ìü-n ()tt- (), A Î £ B sup íýdistH St y exp : yB Ce îþ H ³ n for any bounded set B in and ttB . Here C and are positive num- A H bers. The inertial set exp is bounded in the space s .

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 ob- serving 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-dimen- sional 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.

Exercise 6.1 Prove that the global attractor of the dynamical system gene- rated 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 re- tarded 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

\\ ++g \ 2 +æö12 2 + +()= u u A uMAèøu Au Lu q ut p , \ u = u , u = u , u = j ()t . t = 0 0 t = 0 1 trÎ ()- , 0 258 The Problem on Nonlinear Oscillations of a Plate in a Supersonic Gas Flow

C h Here A , ML , and are the same as in Theorems 6.1 and 6.2, the symbol ut denotes a the function on []-r, 0 which is given by the equality u ()s =sÎut()+ s for p t t Î []-r, 0 , the parameter rq is a delay value, and (). is a linear mapping from e L2()-r, 0 ;  into H possessing the property r 1 + a 4 0 a ()2 £ 1 + a ()s 2 s A qv c0 ò A v d -r a Îa[], a for c0 small enough and for all 0 0 , where 0 is a positive number. Such a formulation of the problem corresponds to the case when we use the model of the linearized potential gas flow (see [11–14]) to take into account the aerodynamic pressure in problem (0.3) and (0.4).

The following assertion gives the time smoothness of trajectories lying in the attrac- tor of problem (0.1) and (0.2).

Theorem 6.3 Assume that conditions (3.2) and (5.2) are fulfilled and the linear ope- rator L possesses the property As Lu£ C As + 12¤ u , uDAÎ () (6.6) s Î [- ¤ ,)¤ Î  for all 12 12 . Let p 12¤ .

Moreover, if Mz()Î C ()R+ for some \ l ³ 1 , then the trajectories yut= ()(), u()t lying in the global attractor A ()H, g> of the system St generated by problem (0.1) and (0.2) for 0 pos- sess the property ()k + 1 ()2 ++()k ()2 2 ()k -1 ()2 £ 2 u t Au t A u t Rl (6.7) -¥ <<¥ = ,,¼ , for all t , k 12 l , where Rl is a constant depending on the problem parameters onlyonly..

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 l + 1 \ us assume that Mz()Î C ()R+ , l ³ 1 . Let yt()= ()ut(), u()t be a trajectory in A -¥ <<¥ ()= () , t . We consider a function um t pm ut , where pm is the ortho- {},,¼  projector onto the span of the basis vectors e1 em in 0 for m large enough. ()Î 2 ();  It is clear that um t C R 2 and satisfies the equation \\ ++g \ 2 +æö12¤ ()2 + = um um A um MAèøut Aum pm Lu pm p .(6.8)

Equation (6.6) for s = -12¤ implies that pm Lu is a continuously differentiable function. It is also evident that MA()12¤ ut()2 Î C1()R . Therefore, we differenti- ate equation (6.8) with respect to t to obtain the equation Global Attractor and Inertial Sets 259

§ 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 Lya- punov function (see Section 1.6). These conditions require that L º 0 and assume the stationarity of the transverse load pt() . For the Berger system (0.3) and (0.4) these hypotheses correspond to r = 0 and px(), t º px() , 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 pt()º p in (0.1). Assume that the hypotheses of Theorem 3.1 hold. Then energy equality (3.6) implies that

Y()= ()- (), = (); Let us prove that the functional y Ey pu0 with yu0 u1 is a Lyapunov function (for definition see Section 1.6) of the dynamical system ()H, Y() H St .

Theorem 7.1

Assume that g > 0 , L º 0 , and p Îss for some > 0 . We also assume that the function Mz() satisfies conditions (3.2) and (5.2). Then the global AH(), attractor of the dynamical system St generated by problem (0.1) and (0.2) has the form

Exercise 7.4 Assume that the hypotheses of Theorem 7.1 hold. Show that if the set ìü D = íýyu= (); u Î H : Y()y º Ey()- ()pu, £ c (7.4) c îþ0 1 0 is not empty, then it is a closed positively invariant set of the dyna- ()H, mical system St generated by weak solutions to problem (0.1) and (0.2).

Exercise 7.5 Assume that the hypotheses of Theorem 7.1 hold and the set D c defined by equality (7.4) is not empty. Show that the dynamical ()D , A = ()N system c St possesses a compact global attractor c M+ c , N where c is the set of fixed points of St satisfying the condition Y()z £ c .

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 corre- sponding 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 263

Lemma 7.1. Assume that conditions (3.2) and (5.2) are fulfilled. Then the problem

Proof. We follow the line of arguments given in the proof of Lemma 2.5.3. Let us consider the continuous functional ìü ()= 1 (), + M æö12¤ 2 - (), Wu íýAu Au èøA u pu (7.6) 2 îþ z  = () M ()= ()xx () on 1 DA , where z ò M d is a primitive of the function Mz .

Let us consider it on the subspace  {},,¼ pm 1 , where pm is the orthoprojector onto Lin e1 em as before. Since ()® +¥ ® ¥ Wu as Au , there exists a minimum point um on the subspace  pm 1 . This minimum point evidently satisfies the equation

2 + æö12¤ 2 = A um MAèøum Aum pm p . (7.8) Equation (7.7) gives us that ìü 2 () Î  -1 2 Au £ c ++c inf íýWu: upm 1 c A p m 1 2 îþ3 with the constants being independent of m . Therefore, it follows from (7.8) 2 £ £ that A um CR , provided pR . This estimate enables us to pass to the limit in (7.8) and to prove that if s = 0 , then equation (7.5) is solvable for any p Î s . Equation (7.5) implies that 2 + s £ £ A um CR forp s R , i.e. L-1()B is bounded in DA()2 + s if B is bounded. In order to prove that the mapping L is proper we should reason as in the proof of Lemma 2.5.3. We give the reader an opportunity to follow these reasonings individually, as an exercise. Lemma 7.1 is proved. 264 The Problem on Nonlinear Oscillations of a Plate in a Supersonic Gas Flow

C h Lemma 7.2 a Î  L ¢ [] p Let u 1 . Then the operator u defined by the formula t æö æö e L ¢ []u wA= 2 w ++2 M ¢ A12¤ u 2 ()Au, w Au M A12¤ u 2 Aw (7.9) r èø èø 4 with the domain D()L ¢[]u = DA()2 is selfadjoint and dim Ker L ¢[]u < < ¥ .

Ker L ¢[]= Ker + -2 æöL ¢[]- 2 u IAèøu A .

However, due to (7.10) the operator A-2 ()L ¢[]u - A2 is compact. Therefore, dim Ker L ¢[]u < ¥ . Lemma 7.2 is proved.

Exercise 7.9 Show that the set of solutions to equation (7.5) is finite for p ÎRs (Hint: see the proof of Lemma 2.5.5). Conditions of Regularity of Attractor 265

Let us consider the linearization of problem (0.1) and (0.2) on a solution uDAÎ ()2 to problem (7.5): \\ \ w ++g w L ¢[]u w = 0 , \ (7.11) w = w , w = w . t = 0 0 t = 0 1 Here L ¢[]u is given by formula (7.9).

Exercise 7.10 Prove that problem (7.11) has a unique weak solution on any [], Î  Î  ()Î segment 0 T if w0 1 , w1 0 , and the function Mz 2 Î C ()R+ possesses property (3.2).

Thus, problem (7.11) defines a strongly continuous linear evolutionary semigroup [] H= ´  Tt u in the space 1 0 by the formula [](); = ()(); \ () Tt u w0 w1 wt w t ,(7.12) where wt() is a weak solution to problem (7.11).

{} Exercise 7.11 Let fk be the orthonormal basis of eigenelements of the L ¢[] m operator u and let k be the corresponding eigenvalues. Then each subspace H = {}(); , (); Ì H k Lin fk 0 0 fk [] is invariant with respect to Tt u . The eigenvalues of the restriction [] H of the operator Tt u onto the subspace k have the form ìüg g2 -æö ±  - m exp íýèøk t . îþ2 4

Thus, Lemma 7.3 is proved.

Exercise 7.12 Use the arguments given in the proof of Lemma 7.3 to verify 2 that under condition (3.2) for Mz()Î C ()R+ the evolutionary H 1 operator St of problem (0.1) and (0.2) in belongs to the class C and ¢ []- ¢ [] £ - St y1 St y2 LH(), H Cy1 y2 H > Î H for any t 0 and yj .

The results presented above enable us to prove the following assertion (see Chap- ter V of the book by A. V. Babin and M. I. Vishik [10]).

Theorem 7.2 Assume that the hypotheses of Theorem 7.1 hold. Then there exists an R  ()H, open dense set s in s such that the dynamical system St possesses a regular global attractor A for every p Î Rs , i. e. N A = () ÈM+ zj , j = 1 () where M+ zj is the unstable manifold of the evolutionary operator St ema- () nating from the fixed point zj . Moreover, each set M+ zj is a finite-dimen- sional surface of the class C1 . 268 The Problem on Nonlinear Oscillations of a Plate in a Supersonic Gas Flow

C ()º h In the case of a zero transverse load p 0 Theorem 7.2 is not applicable in gene- a ral. However, this case can be studied by using the structure of the problem. For exam- p t ple, we can guarantee finiteness of the set of fixed points if we assume (see Exer- e cise 7.1) that the equation Mc()l2 l + = 0 , first, is solvable with respect to c r k k l only for a finite number of the eigenvalues k and, second, possesses not more than 4 a finite number of solutions for every k . The solutions to equation (7.5) are either 2 u º 0 , or uc= ek , where c and k satisfy Mc()ll + = 0 . The eigen- 0 0 0 0 0 k0 k0 values of the operator L ¢[]u have the form m = l2 + ()l º k k M 0 k if u 0 and

m = l l - l + 2 d l c2 M ¢()c2 l ifuc= e . k k k k0 kk0 k0 0 0 k0 0 k0 Therefore, the result of Exercise 7.11 implies that the fixed points are hyperbolic m if all the numbers k are nonzero, i.e. if M ()0 ¹ - l,;,;k =l12,,¼ ¹ l kk¹ Mc()2 l ¹ 0 k k k0 0 0 k0 for all c and k such that Mc()l2 l + = 0 . In particular, if Mz()= - G+ z , 0 0 0 k0 k0 then for any real G there exists a finite number of fixed points (see Exercise 7.2) Gl¹ and all of them are hyperbolic, provided that k for all k and the eigenvalues l l < G j satisfying the condition j are simple. Moreover, we can prove that for l <

§ 8 On Singular Limit in the Problem of Oscillations of a Plate

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 pa- rameter 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 269

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 mg” . Formally, this assumption leads to a quasistatic statement of problem (8.1) and (8.2):

\ 2 æö12¤ 2 g u ++A uMAèøu Au + Lu = p, t > 0, (8.3) u = u . (8.4) t = 0 0 Here we prove that the global attractor of problem (8.1) and (8.2) is close to the glo- bal 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.

Exercise 8.1 Assume that conditions (3.2) and (3.3) are fulfilled and Î  = p 0 H . Show that problem (8.3) and (8.4) has a unique mild  = () [], (in 1 DA ) solution on any segment 0 T , i.e. there exists ()Î (), ;  a unique function ut C 0 T 1 such that ()= -A2t - ut e u0

C h Proof. a First we prove that the system () , S is dissipative. To do that we consider p 1 t () t the Galerkin approximations (8.5) and (8.6). We multiply (8.5) by um t scalarwise e r and find that 1 æö 4  d u ()t 2 ++Au ()t 2 MA12¤ u ()t 2 A12¤ u ()t 2 + 2 dt m m èøm m + ()(), () = (), () Lum t um t pum t .

() , We note that the dissipativity also implies that the dynamical system 1 St pos- sesses a fractal exponential attractor (see Theorem 2.4.2).

Exercise 8.3 Assume that the hypotheses of Theorem 8.1 hold and L º 0 . Show that for generic pHÎ the attractor of the dynamical system () , 1 St 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.

2 We assume that Mz()Î C ()R+ and conditions (3.2), (5.2), (5.3), and (5.10) are ()H , m fulfilled. Let us consider the dynamical system 1 St generated by problem H =  ´  º ()2 ´ () (8.1) and (8.2) in the space 1 2 1 DA DA . Lemma 5.2 and Exer- ()H , m A cise 5.5 imply that 1 St possesses a compact global attractor 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 2 Assume that Mz()Î C ()R+ and conditions (3.2), (5.2), (5.3), and (5.10) concerning Mz(), Lp, and are fulfilled... Then the equation * limsup {}distH ()y, A : y ÎAm = 0 (8.10) m ® 0 A ()H , m is valid, where m is a global attractor of the dynamical system 1 St generated by problem (8.1) and (8.2), ìü A* = (); ÎA = - 2 - æö12¤ 2 - + íýz0 z1 : z0 , z1 A z0 MAèøz0 Az0 Lz0 p . îþ A Here is a global attractor of problem (8.3) and (8.4) in 1 and distH ()yA, is the distance between the element y and the set A in the H=g´  = space 1 0 .

Lemma 8.2 Let ut() be a solution to problem (8.1) and (8.2) such that Au() t £ R for all t ³ 0 . Then the estimate t 1 \ 2 -b ()- t æö\ 2 2 -b  u()t e t dt £ m u()0 + Au()0 e t + CR(), b 2 ò èø 0 is valid for t ³b0 , where is a positive constant such that bm£ 12¤ .

We integrate this equation from 0 to t to obtain the assertion of the lemma.

It is easy to find that there exists a constant CR such that ()£ BR u CR and ()- ()£ ()- BR u1 BR u2 CR Au1 u2 .

()H, Therefore, we can apply Theorem 3.7.2 to the dynamical system St generated by equation (9.6). This theorem guarantees the existence of an inertial manifold of

()H, the system St if the hypotheses of Theorem 9.1 hold. However, inside the dissi- pativity 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.

Exercise 9.1 Show that the hypotheses of Theorem 9.1 hold for the prob- lem on oscillations of an infinite panel in a supersonic flow of gas: ì æöp ï ¶2 +++g¶ ¶4 ç÷G¶- (), 2 ¶2 +r¶ = () Î(), p , > ï t u t u x u ç÷ò xux t dx x u xu gx, x 0 t 0, í èø ï 0 ï ==¶2 =  ¶ =  u = , = p x u = , = p 0 , u = u0 x , t u u1 x . î x 0 x x 0 x t 0 t = 0 Here Gr and are real parameters and gx()Î L2()0, p .

It is evident that the most essential assumption of Theorem 9.1 that restricts its ap- plication 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 Assume that in equation (0.1) we have L º 0 and pt()ºÎg ÎLin {}e ,,¼ e for some N . We also assume that conditions (3.2) and 1 N0 0 ³ ³ (5.2) are fulfilled.

C h Proof. a Since p gg= for NN³ , where p is the orthoprojector onto the span of p N 0 N {},,¼ H t e1 eN , the uniqueness theorem implies the invariance of N . Let us prove e 0 ()(), \ () r attraction property (9.8). It is sufficient to consider a trajectory ut u t lying in the ball of dissipativity {}y : y £ R . Evidently the function vt()= ()1 - p ut() 4 H N satisfies the equation ì \\ ++g \ 2 +æö12¤ ()2 = ï v v A vMAèøut Av 0 , í (9.9) \ ï v = ()1 - p u , v = ()1 - p u . î t = 0 N 0 t = 0 N 1 It is also clear that the conditions æö æö MA12¤ ut()2 £ b ()R and d MA12¤ ut()2 £ b ()R èø0 dt èø1 hold in the ball of dissipativity. This fact enables us to use Theorem 2.2 with bt()= = MA()12¤ ut()2 . In particular, equation (2.23) guarantees the existence of a num- ³g() () ber N1 N0 which depends on , b0 R , and b1 R and such that g - t () = ()- () £ ()- () 4 > yt H 1 PN yt H 31PN y 0 e ,,t 0 ³ H ()= ()(), \() for all NN1 , where PN is the orthoprojector onto N and yt vt v t . This implies estimate (9.8). Theorem 9.2 is proved.

Exercise 9.2 Assume that the hypotheses of Theorem 9.2 hold. Show that

for any semitrajectory St y there exists an induced trajectory in H ÎH N , i.e. there exists y N such that g - ()tt- - £ 4 0 St ySt y H CR e ³ = () for tt0 and for some t0 t0 y H .

Exercise 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 mani- folds 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. On Inertial and Approximate Inertial Manifolds 279

The results presented in previous chapters show that in many cases the asymp- totic behaviour of infinite-dimensional dissipative systems can be described by a fi- nite-dimensional global attractor. However, a detailed study of the structure of attractor has been carried out only for a very limited number of problems. In this re- gard it is of importance to search for minimal (or close to minimal) sets of natural parameters of the problem that uniquely determine the long-time behaviour of a sys- tem. This problem was first discussed by Foias and Prodi [1] and by Ladyzhenskaya [2] for the 2D Navier-Stokes equations. They have proved that the long-time beha- viour of solutions is completely determined by the dynamics of the first N Fourier modes if N is sufficiently large. Later on, similar results have been obtained for other parameters and equations. The concepts of determining nodes and deter- mining local volume averages have been introduced. A general approach to the prob- lem on the existence of a finite number of determining parameters has been discussed (see survey [3]). In this chapter we develop a general theory of determining functionals. This theory enables us, first, to cover all the results mentioned above from a unified point of view and, second, to suggest rather simple conditions under which a set of func- tionals on the phase space uniquely determines the asymptotic behaviour of the sys- tem by its values on the trajectories. The approach presented here relies on the concept of completeness defect of a set of functionals and involves some ideas and results from the approximation theory of infinite-dimensional spaces.

§ 1 Concept of a Set of Determining Functionals

Let us consider a nonautonomous differential equation in a real reflexive Banach space H of the type u d ==Fu(), t, t > 0, u u .(1.1) dt t = 0 0 W º {}³ Let be a class of solutions to (1.1) defined on the semiaxis R+ t : t 0 such ()ÎW > that for any ut there exists a point of time t0 0 such that ()Î (), ¥ ; Ç 2 (), ¥, ut Ct0 + H Lloc t0 + V ,(1.2) where VH is a reflexive Banach space which is continuously embedded into . Here- inafter Cab(), ; X is the space of strongly continuous functions on []ab, with the 2 (), ; . . values in XL and loc ab X has a similar meaning. The symbols H and V . £ . stand for the norms in the spaces H and V , H V . 286 Theory of Functionals that Uniquely Determine Long-Time Dynamics

C h The following definition is based on the property established in [1] for the Fou- a rier modes of solutions to the 2D Navier-Stokes system with periodic boundary con- p t ditions. e Let L = {}l : j = 1,,¼ N be a set of continuous linear functionals on V . r j Then L is said to be a set of asymptotically ()VH,,W -determining func- 5 tionals (or elements) for problem (1.1) if for any two solutions uv, ÎW the con- dition t + 1 ()()t - ()()t 2 t = = ,,¼ limlj u lj v d 0 forj 1 N (1.3) t ® ¥ ò t implies that ()- () = limut vt H 0 .(1.4) t ® ¥ Thus, if L is a set of asymptotically determining functionals for problem (1.1), the asymptotic behaviour of a solution ut() is completely determined by the behaviour {}()() = ,,¼ , of a finite number of scalar values lj ut : j 12 N . Further, if no ambi- guity results, we will sometimes omit the spaces V , H , and W in the description of determining functionals.

Exercise 1.1 Show that condition (1.3) is equivalent to t + 1 2 lim []NL ()u()t - v()t dt = 0 , t ® ¥ ò t

where NL ()u is a seminorm in H defined by the equation

NL ()u = max lu(). l ÎL

Exercise 1.2 Let u1 and u2 be stationary (time-independent) solutions to W L = {}= ,,¼ problem (1.1) lying in the class . Let lj : j 1 N be a set of asymptotically determining functionals. Show that condition ()= () = ,,¼ , = lj u1 lj u2 for all j 12 N implies that u1 u2 .

The following theorem forms the basis for all assertions known to date on the exis- tence of finite sets of asymptotically determining functionals.

Theorem 1.1. L = {}= ,,¼ Let lj : j 1 N be a family of continuous linear functionals V (), ´ on V . SSuuupposeppose that there exists a continuous function ut on H R+ with the values in R+ which possesses the following properties: a) there exist positive numbers as and such that V ()a, ³ × s Î , Î ut u for all uHtR+ ; (1.5) Concept of a Set of Determining Functionals 287

b) for any two solutions ut(), vt()Î W to problem (1.1) there exist (i) >y() a point of time t0 0 , (ii) a function t that is locally integrable [ , ¥) over the half-interval t0 and such that ta+ + gy = lim yt()d t > 0 (1.6) t ® ¥ ò t and ta+ + Gy = lim max {}0, -yt()dt < ¥ (1.7) t ® ¥ ò t for some a > 0 , and (iii) a positive constant C such that for all ³³ tst0 we have t V ()ytut()-vt(), t + ò ()×tV ()u()t - v()()tt , d £ s t £ V ()()- (), + × ()()t - ()()t 2 t us vs s Clmax j u lj v d . (1.8) ò j = 1,,¼ N s Then L is a set of asymptotically ()VH,,W -determining functionals for problem (1.1).

It is evident that the proof of this theorem follows from a version of Gronwall's lemma stated below.

Lemma 1.1. Let y()t and gt() be two functions that are locally integrable over [ , ¥) () some half-interval t0 . Assume that (1.6) and (1.7) hold and gt is nonnegative and possesses the property ta+ limg()t d t= 0 ,.a > 0 (1.9) t ® ¥ ò t Suppose that wt() is a nonnegative continuous function satisfying the inequality t t wt()+ ò yt()×tw()t d £ ws()+ ò g()t d t (1.10) s s ³³ ()® ® ¥ for all tst0 . Then wt 0 as t .

It should be noted that this version of Gronwall's lemma has been used by many au- thors (see the references in the survey [3]). 288 Theory of Functionals that Uniquely Determine Long-Time Dynamics

C h Proof. a Let us first show that equation (1.10) implies the inequality p t ìüt t ìüt e ïï ïï r wt() £ ws()exp íý- ys()sd + g()t exp íý- ys()sd dt (1.11) ïïò ò ïïò 5 îþs s îþt for all tst³³ . It follows from (1.10) that the function wt() is absolutely 0 \ continuous on any finite interval and therefore possesses a derivative w()t al- most everywhere. Therewith, equation (1.10) gives us \ w()t + y()t wt() £ gt() (1.12) for almost all t . Multiplying this inequality by

ìüt ïï et()= expíý ys()sd , ïïò îþs we find that

In cases when problem (1.1) is the Cauchy problem for a quasilinear partial differen- tial equation, we usually take some norm of the phase space as the function V ()ut, when we try to prove the existence of a finite set of asymptotically determining func- tionals. For example, the next assertion which follows from Theorem 1.1 is often used for parabolic problems.

Corollary 1.1. Let VH and be reflexive Banach spaces such that V is continuously and densely embedded into H . Assume that for any two solutions (), ()Î W u1 t u2 t to problem (1.1) we have t u ()t - u ()t 2 + yt()u ()t - u ()t 2 t £ 1 2 V ò 1 2 V d s t 2 £ u ()s - u ()s + Ku- u 2 t (1.17) 1 2 V ò 1 2 H d s ³³ y() for tst0 , where K is a constant and the function t depends on () () u1 t and u2 t in general and possesses properties (1.6) and (1.7). L = {}= ,,¼ Assume that the family lj : j 1 N on V possesses the pro- perty £ × ()+ e v H Clmax j v L v V (1.18) j = 1 ¼ N

for any vVÎ , where C and eL are positive constants depending onLL . Then is a set of asymptotically determining functionals for problem (1.1), provided ta+ 2 1 1 + -1 -1 eL

Proof. Using the obvious inequality æö ()ab+ 2 £d()1 + d a2 + 1 + 1 b2 ,,> 0 èød we find from equation (1.18) that 2 £ ()e+ d 2 2 + × ()2 v H 1 L v V Cd max lj v (1.20) j = 1 ¼ N for any d > 0 . Therefore, equation (1.17) implies that t æö u ()t - u ()t 2 + yt()- ()1 + d K e2 u ()t - u ()t 2 t £ 1 2 V ò èøL 1 2 V d s t £ u ()s - u ()s 2 + C []N ()u ()t - u ()t 2 t , 1 2 V ò L 1 2 d s N ()= () d > where L v max lj v . Consequently, if for some 0 the function j = 1 ¼ N 2 y()t = y()t - ()1 + d KeL possesses properties (1.6) and (1.7) with some constants gG and > 0 , then Theorem 1.1 is applicable. A simple verification shows that it is sufficient to re- quire that equation (1.19) be fulfilled. Thus, Corollary 1.1 is proved.

Another variant of Corollary 1.1 useful for applications can be formulated as follows.

Corollary 1.2. Let VH and be reflexive Banach spaces such that V is continuously embedded into Hut . Assume that for any two solutions (), vt()ÎW to > ³³ problem (1.1) there exists a moment t0 0 such that for all tst0 the equation t ()- ()2 +£n ()t - ()t 2 t ut vt H ò u v V d s t £ ()- ()2 + ft()×t()t - ()t 2 us vs H ò u v H d (1.21) s holds.

Let L = {}l : j = 1,,¼ N be a family of continuous linear func- p j t tionals on V possessing the property e r £ × ()+ e × w H CL max lj w L w V j = 1,,¼ N 5 for any wVÎ . Here CL and eL are positive constants. Then L is a set of asymptotically ()VH,,W -determining functionals for problem (1.1),

provided that eL < n¤ R .

Proof. Equation (1.20) implies that 2 ³ ()+ d -1 ××e-2 2 - × ()2 w V 1 L w H CL, d max lj w j = 1,,¼ N for any d > 0 . Therefore, (1.21) implies that t ()- ()2 + yt()×t()t - ()t 2 £ ut vt H ò u v H d s t £ ()- ()2 + n × ()()t - ()t 2 t us vs H CL, d max lj u v d , ò j = 1,,¼ N s -1 -2 where y()t = n()1 + d eL - f()t . Using (1.22) and applying Theorem 1.1 with V ()ut, = u 2 , we complete the proof of Corollary 1.2.

Other approaches of introduction of the concept of determining functionals are also possible. The definition below is an extension to a more general situation of the pro- perty proved by O.A. Ladyzhenskaya [2] for trajectories lying in the global attractor of the 2D Navier-Stokes equations. Let W be a class of solutions to problem (1.1) on the real axis R such that W Ì 2 ()-¥, ¥ ; L = {}= ,,¼ Lloc + V . A family lj : j 1 N of continuous linear functionals on VV is said to be a set of (), W -determining functionals (or elements) for problem (1.1) if for any two solutions uv, Î W the condition ()() = ()() = ,,¼ Î lj ut lj vt forj 1 N and almost alltR (1.23) implies that ut()º vt() .

It is easy to establish the following analogue of Theorem 1.1.

Theorem 1.2. L = {}= ,,¼ Let lj : j 1 N be a family of continuous linear functionals on V . Let W be a class of solutions to problem (1.1) on the real axis R such that Concept of a Set of Determining Functionals 293

W Ì ()¥, ¥ ; Ç 2 ()¥, ¥ ; C – + H Lloc – + V . (1.24) Assume that there exists a continuous function V ()ut, on H ´ R with the values in R which possesses the following properties: a) there exist positive numbers as and such that s V ()aut, ³ × u for alluHÎ ,t Î R ; (1.25) b) for any ut(), vt()Î W sup V ()ut()- vt(), t < ¥ ; (1.26) t Î R c) for any two solutions ut(), vt()Î W to problem (1.1) there exist (i) a function y()t locally integrable over the axis R with the properties ta+ - gy º limyt()d t> 0 (1.27) t ® -¥ ò t and ta+ - Gy º lim max {}0, -yt()dt < ¥ (1.28) t ® -¥ ò t for some a > 0 , and (ii) a positive constant C such that equation (1.8) holds for all ts³ . Then L is a set of ()V, W -determining func- tionals for problem (1.1).

Proof. It follows from (1.23), (1.8), and (1.11) that the function wt()= V ()ut()-vt(), t satisfies the inequality

ìüt ïï wt() £ ws()× exp íý- yt()d t (1.29) ïïò îþs for all ts³ . Using properties (1.27) and (1.28) it is easy to find that there exist * > > numbers s , a0 0 , and b0 0 such that

Using Theorem 1.2 with V ()ut, = u 2 as above, we obtain the following assertion. 294 Theory of Functionals that Uniquely Determine Long-Time Dynamics

Then L is a set of asymptotically ()V, W -determining functionals for problem (1.1).

We now give one more general result on the finiteness of the number of determining functionals. This result does not use Lemma 1.1 and requires only the convergence of functionals on a certain sequence of moments of time. Concept of a Set of Determining Functionals 295

Theorem 1.3. Let VH and be reflexive Banach spaces such that V is continuously embedded into H . Assume that W is a class of solutions to problem (1.1) possessing property (1.2). AssumAssumumee that there exist constants CK, ³ 0 , ba>> << () 0 , and 0 q 1 such that for any pair of solutions u1 t and () W u2 t from we have u ()t - u ()t £ Cu()s - u ()s ,,,sts££+ b , (1.33) 1 2 V 1 2 V and u ()t - u ()t £ Ku()t - u ()t + qu()s - u ()s , s +a ££ts+b (1.34) 1 2 V 1 2 H 1 2 V for s large enough.

It should be noted that relations like (1.33) and (1.34) can be obtained for a wide class of equations (see, e.g., Sections 1.9, 2.2, and 4.6).

Proof. ()= ()- () Let ut u1 t u2 t . Then equations (1.34) and (1.18) give us () £ ()+ ()() utk qL utk -1 Clmax j utk , V V j = ()- e -1 < where qL q 1 L K 1 . Therefore, after iterations we obtain that n () £ n () + × nk- ()() utn qL ut0 Cqå L max lj utk . V V j k = 1 Hence, equation (1.35) implies that ut() ® 0 as n ® ¥ . Therefore, (1.36) fol- n V lows from equation (1.33). Theorem 1.3 is proved.

Application of Corollaries 1.1–1.3 and Theorem 1.3 to the proof of finiteness of a set L of determining elements requires that the inequalities of the type (1.17) and (1.21), or (1.30) and (1.33), or (1.33) and (1.34), as well as (1.18) with the constant eL small enough be fulfilled. As the analysis of particular examples shows, the fulfil- ment of estimates (1.17), (1.21), (1.30), (1.31), (1.33), and (1.34) is mainly con- nected with the dissipativity properties of the system. Methods for obtaining them are rather well-developed (see Chapters 1 and 2 and the references therein) and in many cases the corresponding constants n , RK , , and q either are close to opti- 296 Theory of Functionals that Uniquely Determine Long-Time Dynamics

C h mal or can be estimated explicitly in terms of the parameters of equations. There- a fore, the problem of description of finite families of functionals that asymptotically p t determine the dynamics of the process can be reduced to the study of sets of func- e tionals for which estimate (1.18) holds with e small enough. It is convenient to r L base this study on the concept of completeness defect of a family of functionals with 5 respect to a pair of spaces.

§ 2 Completeness Defect

Let VH and be reflexive Banach spaces such that V is continuously and densely embedded into H . The completeness defect of a set L of linear functionals onVH with respect to is defined as ìü eL ()VH, = sup íýw : wVÎ , lw()= 0 , l Î L , w £ 1 .(2.1) îþH V It should be noted that the finite dimensionality of LinL is not assumed here.

Exercise 2.1 Prove that the value eL ()VH, can also be defined by one of the following formulae: ìü eL ()VH, = sup íýw : wVÎ , lw()= 0 , w = 1 ,(2.2) îþH V

ìüw H eL ()VH, = sup íý : wVÎ , w ¹ 0, lw()= 0 ,(2.3) îþw V

ìü eL ()VH, = inf íýC : w £ Cw , wVÎ , lw()= 0 .(2.4) îþH V

L Ì L * Exercise 2.2 Let 1 2 be two sets in the space V of linear functionals onV . Show that eL ()eVH, ³ L ()VH, . 1 2

Exercise 2.3 Let L Ì V * and let L be a weakly closed span of the set L * e ()e, = (), in the space V . Show that L VH L VH .

The following fact explains the name of the value eL ()VH, . We remind that a set L of functionals on Vlw is said to be complete if the condition ()= 0 for all l ÎL im- plies that w = 0 .

Exercise 2.4 Show that for a set L of functionals on V to be complete it is

necessary and sufficient that eL ()VH, = 0 . Completeness Defect 297

The following assertion plays an important role in the construction of a set of deter- mining functionals.

Theorem 2.1.

Let eL = eL ()VH, be the completeness defect of a set L of linear func- tionals on VH with respect to . Then there exists a constant CL > 0 such that ìü u £ e u + C × sup íýlu(): l Î L , l £ 1 (2.5) H L V L îþ* for any element uVÎ , where L is a weakly closed span of the set L in V *.

Proof. Let L ^ = {}vVÎ : lv()= 0 , l Î L (2.6) be the annihilator of L . If u ÎL ^ , then it is evident that lu()= 0 for all l ÎL . Therefore, equation (2.4) implies that £ e Î L^ u H L u V for allu , (2.7) i.e. for u ÎL^ equation (2.5) is valid. Assume that u ÏL^ . Since L^ is a subspace in V , it is easy to verify that there exists an element w ÎL^ such that ìü - ==(), L^ - ÎL^ uw distV u inf íýuv: v .(2.8) V îþV {}Ì L^ Indeed, let the sequence vn be such that º (), L^ = - dudistV lim uvn . n ® ¥ V {} It is clear that vn is a bounded sequence in V . Therefore, by virtue of the reflexivi- ty of the space Vw , there exist an element from L^ and a subsequence {}v nk such that v weakly converges to wk as ® ¥ , i.e. for any functional fVÎ * the nk equation ()- = ()- fu w lim fu vn k ® ¥ k holds. It follows that ()- ££- × fu w lim uvn f df . k ® ¥ k V * * Therefore, we use the reflexivity of V once again to find that ìü uw- = sup íýfu()- w : fVÎ * , f = 1 £ d . V îþ* - ³ - = However, uwV d . Hence, uwV d . Thus, equation (2.8) holds. 298 Theory of Functionals that Uniquely Determine Long-Time Dynamics

C h Equation (2.7) and the continuity of the embedding of VH into imply that a ££+e- + - p u H w H uwH L w V Cu wV . t e It is clear that r £ + - w V u V uwV . 5 Therefore, £ e + ()e + - u H L u V L C uwV .(2.9)

Let us now prove that there exists a continuous linear functional l0 on the space V possessing the properties ()- = - = ()= ÎL^ l0 uw uwV ,,l0 * 1 l0 v 0 for.(2.10)v

To do that, we define the functional l0 by the formula

()= - = + ()- l0 m au wV ,,mvauw on the subspace ìü Mmvauw= íý= + ()- : v ÎL^ , a Î R . îþ

()= ÎL^ It is clear that l0 is a linear functional on Ml and 0 m 0 for m . Let us cal- culate its norm. Evidently m º vauw+ ()- = auw× - + 1 v ,.a ¹ 0 V V a V Since wa- -1 v Î L^ , equation (2.8) implies that

³ × - = () = + ()- ¹ m V auwV l0 m ,,.mvauw a 0 Consequently, for any mMÎ

()£ l0 m m V .

This implies that l has a unit norm as a functional on M . By virtue of the Hahn-Ba- 0 nach theorem the functional l0 can be extended on V without increase of the norm. Therefore, there exists a functional l on V possessing properties (2.10). Therewith 0 L L ÏL l0 lies in a weakly closed span of the set . Indeed, if l0 , then using the re- flexivity of Vl and reasoning as in the construction of the functional 0 it is easy to Î ()¹ ()= verify that there exists an element xV such that l0 x 0 and lx 0 for all l ÎL . It is impossible due to (2.10) . In order to complete the proof of Theorem 2.1 we use equations (2.9) and (2.10). As a result, we obtain that £ e + ()e + ()- u H L u V L C l0 uw.

However, l Î L ,l ()uw- = l ()u , and l = 1 . Therefore, equation (2.5) 0 0 0 0 * holds. Theorem 2.1 is proved. Completeness Defect 299

L = {}= ,,¼ * Exercise 2.5 Assume that lj : j 1 N is a finite set in V . Show that there exists a constant CL such that £ e (), + () u H L VH u V CL max lj u (2.11) j = 1,,¼ N for all uVÎ .

In particular, if the hypotheses of Corollaries 1.1 and 1.3 hold, then Theorem 2.1 and equation (2.11) enable us to get rid of assumption (1.18) by replacing it with the cor- responding assumption on the smallness of the completeness defect eL ()VH, .

The following assertion provides a way of calculating the completeness defect when we are dealing with Hilbert spaces.

Theorem 2.2. Let VH and be separable Hilbert spaces such that V is compactly and densely embedded into HK. Let be a selfadjoint positive compact operator in the space V defined by the equality (), = (), , Î Ku v V uvH ,,.uv V. Then the completeness defect of a set L of functionals on V can be evalua- ted by the formula e (), = m() L VH max PL KPL , (2.12) where PL is the orthoprojector in the space V onto the annihilator L^ = {}vVÎ : lv()= 0 , l Î L m () and max S is the maximal eigenvalue of the operator S .

Proof. It follows from definition (2.1) that e (), = {}Î L VH sup u H : uBL = L^ Ç {}£ L^ where BL v : v V 1 is the unit ball in . Due to the compactness of the embedding of VH into , the set BL is compact in H . Therefore, there exists Î an element u0 BL such that e ()VH, 2 ==u 2 ()Ku , u º m . L 0 H 0 0 V (), Therewith u0 is the maximum point of the function Ku u V on the set BL . Hence, for any v Î L^ and s Î R1 we have ()Ku()+ sv , u + sv 0 0 V £ m º (), Ku0 u0 . u + sv 2 V 0 V 300 Theory of Functionals that Uniquely Determine Long-Time Dynamics

C h It follows that a ()Ku()+ sv , u + sv - m u + sv 2 £ 0 . p 0 0 V 0 V t e It is also clear that u = 1 . Therefore, r 0 V s2 {}()Kv, v - m v 2 + 2 sKu{}(), v - m()u , v £ 0 5 V 0 V 0 V for all s Î R . This implies that ()mKu , v - ()u , v £ 0 0 0 V for any v ÎL^ . If we take -v instead of v in this equation, then we obtain the op- posite inequality. Therefore, ()m, - (), = Î L^ Ku0 v u0 v 0 ,.v Consequently, = m PL KPL u0 u0 , i.e. m ==()Ku , u u 2 is an eigenvalue of the operator P KP . It is evident 0 0 V 0 H L L that this eigenvalue is maximal. Thus, Theorem 2.2 is proved.

Corollary 2.1. {} Assume that the hypotheses of Theorem 2.2 hold. Let ej be an ortho- normal basis in the space V that consists of eigenvectors of the opera- tor K : Ke = m e ,,,.()e , e =md ³³m ¼ m® 0 j j j i j V ij 1 2 N Then the completeness defect of the system of functionals L = {}l Î V * : l ()v = ()ve, : j = 12,,¼ ,N j j j V e ()m, = is given by the formula L VH N +1 .

To prove this assertion, it is just sufficient to note that PL is the orthoprojector {}³ + onto the closure of the span of elements ej : jN1 and that PL commutes with K .

Exercise 2.6 Let A be a positive operator with discrete spectrum in the space H : Ae =ll e ,,,,££l ¼ l® + ¥ ()e , e = d k k k 1 2 N k j H kj  = ()s Î and let s DA , s R , be a scale of spaces generated by the operator A (see Section 2.1). Assume that L = {}l : l ()v = ()ve, : j = 12,,¼ ,N .(2.13) j j j H e ()l ,  =s-()s - s > Prove that L s s N +1 for all s .

It should be noted that the functionals in Exercise 2.6 are often called modes. Completeness Defect 301

Let us give several more facts on general properties of the completeness defect.

Theorem 2.3. Assume that the hypotheses of Theorem 2.2 hold. Assume that L is a set of linear functionals on V and KL is a family of linear bounded operators RVH that map into and are such that Ru= 0 for all u ÎL^ . Let ìü e H()R = sup íýuRu- : u £ 1 (2.14) V îþH V be the global approximation error in H arising from the approximation of elements vVÎ by elements Rv. Then

ìüH eL ()VH; = min íýe ()R : R ÎKL . (2.15) îþV

Proof.

Let R ÎK L . Equation (2.14) implies that - £ H() Î uRuH eV R u V ,.uV ÎL^ £ H() e (); £ H() Therefore, for u we have u H eV R u V , i.e. L VH eV R for all ÎK ÎK R L . Let us show that there exists an operator R0 L such that e (); = H() L VH eV R0 . Equation (2.12) implies that ìü 12¤ 12¤ eL ()VH; ==K PL (); sup íýK PL u : u £ 1 , LV V îþV V L^ 12¤ where PL is the orthoprojector in the space V onto and K PL LVV(), is the 12¤ norm of the operator K PL in the space LVV(), of bounded linear operators in V . Therefore, the definition of the operator K implies that

ìüH eL ()VH; ==sup íýPL u : u £ 1 e ()IP- L .(2.16) îþH V V

It is evident that the orthoprojector QL = IP- L belongs to KL (it projects onto the subspace that is orthogonal to L^ in V ). Theorem 2.3 is proved.

L = {}= ,,¼ Exercise 2.7 Assume that lj : j 1 N is a finite set. Show that the family KL consists of finite-dimensional operators R of the form N = ()j Î Ruå lj u j ,,uV j = 1 {}j = ,,¼ where j : j 1 N is an arbitrary collection of elements of the space V (they do not need to be distinct). How should the {}j choice of elements j be made for the operator QL from the proof of Theorem 2.3? 302 Theory of Functionals that Uniquely Determine Long-Time Dynamics

C h Theorem 2.3 will be used further (see Section 3) to obtain upper estimates of a the completeness defect for some specific sets of functionals. The simplest situation p t is presented in the following example. e r 5 Example 2.1 = 2 (), = ()2 Ç 1 (), s(), Let HL0 l and let VHH0 0 l . As usual, here H 0 l is s (), ¥ (), the Sobolev space of the order sH and 0 0 l is the closure of the set C0 0 l in Hs()0, l .

C h § 3 Estimates of Completeness Defect a p in Sobolev Spaces t e r 5 In this section we consider several families of functionals on Sobolev spaces that are important from the point of view of applications. We also give estimates of the cor- responding completeness defects. The exposition is quite brief here. We recommend that the reader who does not master the theory of Sobolev spaces just get acquain- ted with the statements of Theorems 3.1 and 3.2 and the results of Examples 3.1 and 3.2 and Exercises 3.2–3.6. We remind some definitions (see, e.g., the book by Lions-Magenes [4]). Let W be a domain in Rn . The Sobolev space H m()W of the order mm ()= 012,,,¼ is a set of functions ìü H m()W = íýfLÎ 2 ()W : D j fx()Î L2 ()W , jm£ , îþ = (),,¼ = ,,,¼ = ++¼ where jj1 jn ,jk 012 ,jj1 jn and ¶ j f D j fx()=  .(3.1) j j j ¶ 1 × ¶ 2 ¼¶ n x1 x2 xn The space H m()W is a separable Hilbert space with the inner product

(), = D j × D j uvm å ò u v dx . jm£ W m()W m()W Further we also use the space H0 which is the closure (in H ) of the set ¥()W W C0 of infinitely differentiable functions with compact support in and the space H s ()Rn which is defined as follows:

n ìün 2 s 2 H s()R = íýux()Î L2()R : () 1 + y u ()y dy º u 2 < ¥ , îþò s Rn where s ³ 0 , u ()y is the Fourier transform of the function ux() , u ()y = ò eixy ux()dx , Rn 2 = 2 ++¼ 2 = ++¼ y y1 y2 , and xy x1 y1 xn yn . Evidently this definition coin- cides with the previous one for natural s and W = Rn .

Exercise 3.1 Show that the norms in the spaces Hs()Rn possess the pro- perty q 1 - q u ()q £ u × u ,,s()q = qs + ()1 - q s s s1 s2 1 2 ££q , ³ 0 1 ,.s1 s2 0 Estimates of Completeness Defect in Sobolev Spaces 307

We can also define the space Hs()W as restriction (to W ) of functions from Hs()Rn with the norm ìü s n u , W = inf íýv n : vx()= ux() in W , vHÎ ()R s îþs, R s ()W ¥()W s()W s()W and the space H0 as the closure of the set C0 in H . The spaces H s ()W and H0 are separable Hilbert spaces. More detailed information on the Sobolev spaces can be found in textbooks on the theory of such spaces (see, e.g., [4], [5]). The following version of the Sobolev integral representation will be used fur- ther.

Lemma 3.1. Let W be a domain in Rn and let l()x be a function from L¥()Rn such that supp lÌÌl W,.ò ()x dx = 1 (3.2) Rn Assume that W is a star-like domain with respect to the support supp l of the function l . This means that for any point x Î W the cone = {}= t + ()- t ; ££t , Î l Vx z x 1 y 0 1 y supp (3.3) belongs to the domain W . Then for any function ux()Î Hm()W the re- presentation

C l () h by y and integrate it over y , then after introducing a new variable a zxsyx= + ()- we obtain the assertion of the lemma. p t e Integral representation (3.4) enables us to obtain the following generalization of the r Poincaré inequality. 5 Lemma 3.2. Let the hypotheses of Lemma 3.1 be valid for a bounded domain W ÌlRn and for a function ()x . Then for any function ux()Î H1()W the inequality s n n + 1 uu- áñl £  d l ¥ × Ñu (3.7) L2 ()W n L ()W L2()W

is valid, where áñu =sl()x ux() x , is the surface measure of l òW d n the unit sphere in Rn and d = diam W º sup {}xy- : xy, Î W .

Proof. We use formula (3.4) for m = 1 : n ¶ ()= áñ+ (), ()- × u () ux u l å òKx y xj yj ¶ y dy .(3.8) yj j = 1 Vx It is clear that l ()x + ()1¤ s ()yx- = 0 when s-1 xy- ³ d º diam W .

Lemma 3.3. Assume that the hypotheses of Lemma 3.1 are valid for a bounded do- n main W from R and for a function l()x . Let mn = []n¤ 2 + 1 , where []. is a sign of the integer part of a number. Then for any function m ux()Î H n ()W we have the inequality

()- (); £ max ux Pm -1 xu x Î W n n c mn +  m £ n d 2 l n D a u , n L¥()W å a! L2()W (3.12) a = mn (); = []s ¤ ()- n 12 where Pm -1 xu is defined by formula (3.5), cn n 2 mn , n sn is the surface measure of the unit sphere in R , and d = diam W .

Proof. Using (3.4) and (3.9) we find that

mn m ux()- P ()xu; ££ xy- n Kx(), y × D a uy()dy mn -1 å a! ò a = mn Vx

for all x Î W . Therefore, estimate (3.13) follows from (3.14) and Lemmata 3.2 and 3.3. Lemma 3.4 is proved.

These lemmata enable us to estimate the completeness defect of two families of functionals that are important from the point of view of applications. We consider these families of functionals on the Sobolev spaces in the case when the domain is strongly Lipschitzian, i.e. the domain W Ì Rn possesses the property: for every x Î ¶W there exists a vicinity U such that Ç W = {}= (),,¼ < (),,¼ U xx1 xn : xn fx1 xn -1 Estimates of Completeness Defect in Sobolev Spaces 311 in some system of Cartesian coordinates, where fx() is a Lipschitzian function. For strongly Lipschitzian domains the space Hs()W consists of restrictions to W of functions from Hs()Rn , s > 0 (see [5] or [6]).

Theorem 3.1. Assume that a bounded strongly Lipschitzian domain W inRn can be {}W = ,,¼ , divided into subdomains j : j 12 N such that N WW= W ÇÆW = ¹ È j , i j for ij. (3.15) j = 1 l () Here the bar stands for the closure of a set. Assume that j x is a function ¥()W in L j such that l ÌWÌl() = supp j j , ò j x dx 1 (3.16) W j W l L and j is a star-like domain with respect to supp j . We define the set of generalized local volume averages corresponding to the collection T = {}()W ; l = ,,¼ , j j : j 12 N as the family of functionals ìü L = íýl ()u = l ()x ux()dx , j = 12,,¼ ,N . (3.17) îþj ò j W j Then the estimate

C ()n, s and Cn are constants.

Proof.

Let us define the interpolation operator R T for the collection T by the formula ()R ()==() l() () Î W = ,,¼ , T u x lj u ò j x uxdx ,,x j j 12 N . W j 312 Theory of Functionals that Uniquely Determine Long-Time Dynamics

C h It is easy to check that a - R £ L Î 2()W p u T u Cn u ,.uL L2()W L2()W t e It further follows from Lemma 3.2 that r sn n + 5 ul- ()u £  d 1 l Ñu . j 2()W n j j ¥()W L2()W L j L j j This implies the estimate sn u - R T u £  d L u . L2()W n H1()W Using the fact (see [4, 6]) that - u £ Cu1 s × u s ,,0 ££s 1 Hs()W L2()W H1()W and the interpolation theorem for operators [4] we find that s s 1 - s æön uR- u £ ()Cn L  dL u T L2()W èøn H s()W for all 0 ££s 1 . Consequently, Theorem 2.3 gives the equation s 2 s eL ()H ()W ; L ()W £ Cn Ld ,.(3.19)0 ££s 1 Using the result of Exercise 2.12 and the interpolation inequalities (see, e.g., [4,6]) £ q × 1 - q ()q = q + ()- q ££q u s()q ()W Cu s u s ,,,(3.20)s s1 s2 1 0 1 H H 1()W H 2()W it is easy to obtain equation (3.18) from (3.19).

Let us illustrate this theorem by the following example.

Example 3.1 Let W = ()0, l n be a cube in Rn with the edge of the length l . We construct a collection T which defines local volume averages in the following way. LetK = ()01, n be the standard unit cube in Rn and let w be a measurable set in K with the positive Lebesgue measure, mesw > 0 . We define the function lw(), x on K by the formula ì []w -1 Î w lw(), x = í mes , x , î 0 , xKÎ \ w . Assume that ìü xi W = hjK× ()+ º íýxx==(),,¼ xn : j << j + 1, i 12,,¼n , , j îþ1 i h i

= (),,¼ = ,,¼ , - = ¤ for any multi-index jj1 jn , where jn 01 N 1 , hlN . It is clear that the hypotheses of Theorem 3.1 are valid for the collection T = {}W , l j j . Moreover, nn2 d ==diam W n × h , L =  j j mesw and hence in this case we have - s æöh s e ()Hs()W ; Hs()W £ C  (3.21) L n, s èømes w for the set L of functionals of the form (3.17) when s ³ 1 and 0 ££s s . It should be noted that in this case the number of functionals in the set L is n equal to NL = N . Thus, estimate (3.21) can be rewritten as - s - s æös æös e ()s()W , s()W £ l  × 1 n L H H Cn, s ç÷w ç÷N . èømes èøL

However, one can show (see, e.g., [6]) that the Kolmogorov NL -width of the em- s s bedding of H ()W into H ()W has the same order in NL , i.e. - s æös š ()s()W , s()W = 1 n N H H c0 ç÷ . L èøNL Thus, it follows from Theorem 2.4 that local volume averages have a complete- ness defect that is close (when the number of functionals is fixed) to the mini- mal. In the example under consideration this fact yields a double inequality s - s ££se ()s()W , s()W s - s < c1 h L H H c2 h , s , (3.22) nw W where c1 and c2 are positive constants that may depend on s , , , and . Similar relations are valid for domains of a more general type.

Another important example of functionals is given in the following assertion.

Theorem 3.2.

Assume the hypotheses of Theorem 3.1. Let us choose a point xj (called W m()W a node) in every set j and define a set of functionals on H , m = []n¤ 2 + 1 , by ìü L = íýl ()u = ux(): x Î W , j = 1,,¼ N . (3.23) îþj j j j Then for all sm³ and 0 ££s s the estimate s s s - s eL ()H ()W ; H ()W £ C()n, s ()d L (3.24) is valid for the completeness defect of this set of functionals, where 314 Theory of Functionals that Uniquely Determine Long-Time Dynamics

Using interpola- tion inequality (3.20) we find that l m 1 -  l m lm u £ Cn ××L d u × u .(3.25) L2()W å L2()W Hm()W l = 1 By virtue of the inequality p yq £ x  +  ,,,1 + 1 = 1 , ³ 0 xy p q p q xy we get

for l =d12,,¼ ,m -1 and for all > 0 . We substitute these inequalities in (3.25) to obtain that m - 1 m l  u £ C ()d1 -  ml- × u + L2()W n å m L2()W l = 1 m - 1 m m æöl -  + C ç÷ d l L l + L d m u . (3.26) n èøå m Hm()W l = 1 Estimates of Completeness Defect in Sobolev Spaces 315

Hence, the estimate m m l  e ()Hm()W ; L2()W £ C()n dm ×  L l L å m l = 1 is valid. Since L ³s1 , this implies inequality (3.24) for = 0 and sm== = []n¤ 2 + 1 . As in Theorem 3.1 further arguments rely on Lemma 2.1 and interpola- tion inequalities (3.20). Theorem 3.2 is proved.

Example 3.2 Î W We return to the case described in Example 3.1. Let us choose nodes xj j and assume that w = K . Then for a set L of functionals of the form (3.23) we have e ()s()W s()W £ s - s L H ; H Cn, s h ³ []n¤ + ££s for all s 2 1 , 0 s and for any location of the nodes xj inside the W j .

Assume that problem (4.1) is uniquely solvable in the class of functions W = C ()[0+, ¥); H Ç C ()[0+, ¥); DA()12 and is pointwise dissipative, i.e. there exists R > 0 such that 12 () £ ³ () A ut R whentt0 u (4.3) for all ut()Î W . Examples of problems of the type (4.1) with the properties listed above can be found in Chapter 2, for example. The results obtained in Sections 1 and 2 enable us to establish the following as- sertion.

Theorem 4.1. L = {}= ,,¼ , For the set of linear functionals lj : j 12 N on the space = ()12 = 12 (), ; W VDA with the norm . V A . H to be VV -asymptotically determining for problem (4.1) under conditions (4.2) and (4.3), it is suffi- cient that the completeness defect eL ()VH, satisfies the inequality -1 eL º eL ()VH, < MR() , (4.4) where M()r and R are the same as in (4.2) and (4.3).

Indeed, the interpolation inequality (see Exercise 2.1.12) - q q Aquu£ 12× A12 u 2 ,,0 £ q < 12¤ and dissipativity property (4.5) enable us to obtain (4.9) from equation (4.7). Now we use the integral representation of a weak solution (see (2.2.3)) and the method applied in the proof of Lemma 2.4.1 to show (do it yourself) that Determining Functionals for Abstract Semilinear Parabolic Equations 319

Exercise 4.1 Show that if the hypotheses of Theorem 4.1 hold, then equa- tion (4.9) is valid for all 0 £ q < 1 .

The reasonings in the proof of Theorem 4.1 lead us to the following assertion.

Corollary 4.1. Assume that the hypotheses of Theorem 4.1 hold. Then for any two weak ()12 () () (in DA ) solutions u1 t and u2 t to problem (4.1) that are boun- ded on the whole axis, ìü sup íýA12 u ()t : -¥ <

Proof. In the situation considered equation (4.6) implies that t ()2 + b 12 ()t 2 t £ ()2 ut L ò A u d us s

for all ts>b and some L > 0 . It follows that -b ()- ut() £ e L tsus(),.ts³ Therefore, if we tend s ® -¥ , then using (4.10) we obtain that ut() = 0 Î ()º () for all t R , i.e. u1 t u2 t .

It should be noted that Corollary 4.1 means that solutions to problem (4.1) that are bounded on the whole axis are uniquely determined by their values on the functionals {} lj . It was this property of the functionals lj which was used by Ladyzhenskaya [2] to define the notion of determining modes for the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes system. We also note that a more general variant of Theorem 4.1 can be found in [3].

Exercise 4.2 Assume that problem (4.1) is autonomous, i.e. Bu()º, t º () A (), Bu. Let be a global attractor of the dynamical system VSt generated by weak (in VDA= ()12 ) solutions to problem (4.1) and L = {}= ,,¼ assume that a set of functionals lj : j 1 N possesses 320 Theory of Functionals that Uniquely Determine Long-Time Dynamics

C () () h property (4.4). Then for any pair of trajectories u1 t and u2 t a A ()() = ()() lying in the attractor the condition lj u1 t lj u2 t implies p ()º () Î = ,,¼ , t that u1 t u2 t for all t R and j 12 N . e r Theorems 4.1 and 2.4 enable us to obtain conditions on the existence of N deter- 5 mining functionals.

Corollary 4.2. Assume that the Kolmogorov N -width of the embedding of the space = ()12 š (); < ()-1 VDA into H possesses the property N VH MR . Then there exists a set of asymptotically ()VV, ; W -determining functionals for problem (4.1) consisting of N elements.

Theorem 2.4, Corollary 2.1, and Exercise 2.6 imply that if the hypotheses of Theorem 4.1 hold, then the family of functionals L given by equation (2.13) is a ()VV, ; W - l > ()2 () determining set for problem (4.1), provided N +1 MR . Here MR and R are the constants from (4.2) and (4.3). It should be noted that the set L of the form (2.13) for problem (4.1) is often called a set of determining modes. Thus, Theo- rem 4.1 and Exercise 2.6 imply that semilinear parabolic equation (4.1) possesses a finite number of determining modes. When condition (4.2) holds uniformly with respect to r , we can omit the re- quirement of dissipativity (4.3) in Theorem 4.1. Then the following assertion is valid.

Theorem 4.2. Assume that a continuous mapping Bu(), t from DA()12 ´ R into H possesses the properties (), £ (), - (), £ 12 ()- B 0 t M0 , Bu1 t Bu2 t MA u1 u2 (4.11) Î ()12 L = {}= ,,¼ , for all uj DA . Then a set of linear functionals lj : j 12 N onVDA= ()12 is asymptotically ()VV, ; W -determining for problem (4.1), -1 provided eL = eL ()VH, < M .

Proof. -1 If we reason as in the proof of Theorem 4.1, we obtain that if eL < M , then () () for an arbitrary pair of solutions u1 t and u2 t emanating from the points u1 and u2 at a moment s the equation (see (4.6)) t t ut()2 + b ò A12 u()t 2 dt £ us()2 + CNuò []()()t 2 dt (4.12) s s ()=bbe()- () = (), ()L , is valid. Here ut u1 t u2 t ,L M and C M are positive con- stants, and ()= {}() = ,,¼ , Nu max lj u : j 12 N . Determining Functionals for Abstract Semilinear Parabolic Equations 321

Therefore, using Theorem 1.1 we conclude that the condition t +1 lim[]Nu()()t 2 dt = 0 (4.13) t ® ¥ ò t implies that t +1 ìü limíýut()2 + A12 u()t 2 dt = 0 .(4.14) t ® ¥ îþò t ()= ()- () Since ut u1 t u2 t is a solution to the linear equation u d + Au = ft() º Bu()()t , t - Bu()()t , t ,(4.15) dt 1 2 it is easy to verify that t A12 ut()2 £ A12 us()2 + 1 f ()t 2 dt (4.16) 2 ò s for ts³ . It should be noted that equation (4.16) can be obtained with the help \ of formal multiplication of (4.15) by u()t with subsequent integration. This conver- sion can be grounded using the Galerkin approximations. If we integrate equation (4.16) with respect to st from -1 to t , then it is easy to see that t t A12 ut() £ A12 us()2 ds + 1 f ()t 2 dt . ò 2 ò t -1 t -1 Using the structure of the function ft() and inequality (4.11), we obtain that t æöM2 A12 ut() £ 1 +  A12 u()t 2 dt . èø2 ò t -1 Consequently, (4.14) gives us that 12 ()()- () = limA u1 t u2 t 0 . t ® ¥ Therefore, Theorem 4.2 is proved.

Further considerations in this section are related to the problems possessing inertial manifolds (see Chapter 3). In order to cover a wider class of problems, it is conve- nient to introduce the notion of a process. Let HSt be a real reflexive Banach space. A two-parameter family { ();, t t ³}t ; t, t Î R of continuous mappings acting in H is said to be evolutionary, if the following conditions hold: (a)Sts(), × Ss(), t = St(), t ,ts³³t ,St(), t = I . (), (b)St su0 is a strongly continuous function of the variable t . 322 Theory of Functionals that Uniquely Determine Long-Time Dynamics

C (), (), t (), t h A pair HSt with St being an evolutionary family in H is often called a a process. Therewith the space H is said to be a phase space and the family p t of mappings St(), t is called an evolutionary operator. A curve e g []= {}()º ()+ , ³ r s u0 ut St s su0 : t 0

5 is said to be a trajectory of the process emanating from the point u0 at the moment s . (), It is evident that every dynamical system HSt is a process. However, main examples of processes are given by evolutionary equations of the form (1.1). There- with the evolutionary operator is defined by the obvious formula (), = (), ; St su0 ut s u0 , ()= (), ; where ut ut s u0 is the solution to problem (1.1) with the initial condition u0 at the moment s .

Exercise 4.3 Assume that the conditions of Section 2.2 and the hypotheses of Theorem 2.2.3 hold for problem (4.1). Show that weak solutions to problem (4.1) generate a process in H .

Similar to the definitions of Chapter 3 we will say that a process ()VSt; (), t acting in a separable Hilbert space V possesses an asymptotically complete finite-dimen- {} sional inertial manifold Mt if there exist a finite-dimensional orthoprojector P in the space V and a continuous function L()pt, : PV ´ R ® ()1- P V such that (a) L()Lp , t - ()p , t £ Lp - p (4.17) 1 2 V 1 2 V Î Î for all pj PV , t R , where L is a positive constant; (b) the surface = {}+ L(), Î Ì Mt p pt: pPV V (4.18) (), t Ì is invariant: St Mt Mt ; (c) the condition of asymptotical completeness holds: for any s Î R and Î * Î u0 V there exists u0 Ms such that (), - (), * £ -g ()ts- > St su0 St su0 V Ce , ts , (4.19) g where C and are positive constants which may depend on u0 and s Î R .

In particular, the results of these exercises mean that Ms is homeomorphic to a sub- set in RN , NP= dim , for every s Î R . The corresponding homeomorphism r : V ® RN can be defined by the equality ru=f{}() u, f N , where {} is a ba- j V j = 1 j sis in PV . Therewith the set of functionals {} l ()u ==()u, j : j 1,,¼ N appears j j V to be asymptotically determining for the process.

Under these conditions there exists (see Chapter 2) a process ()DA()q ; St(), s generated by problem (4.1).

In conclusion of this section we give one more theorem on the existence of deter- mining functionals for problem (4.1). The theorem shows that in some cases we can require that the values of functionals on the difference of two solutions tend to zero only on a sequence of moments of time (cf. Theorem 1.3).

C h § 5 Determining Functionals a p for Reaction-Diffusion Systems t e r 5 In this section we consider systems of parabolic equations of the reaction-diffusion type and find conditions under which a finite set of linear functionals given on the phase space uniquely determines the asymptotic behaviour of solutions. In particu- lar, the results obtained enable us to prove the existence of finite collections of de- termining modes, nodes, and local volume averages for the class of systems under consideration. It also appears that in some cases determining functionals can be gi- ven only on a part of components of the state vector. As an example, we consider a system of equations which describes the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction and the Navier-Stokes equations. Assume that W is a smooth bounded domain in Rn , n ³ 1 , Hs()W is the W s ()W s ()W Sobolev space of the order s on , and H0 is the closure (in H ) of the set W . of infinitely differentiable functions with compact support in . Let s be a norm in Hs()W and let . and () . , . be a norm and an inner product in L2()W , respec- tively. Further we also use the spaces Hs = ()Hs ()W m º Hs ()W ´ ¼´ Hs ()W ,.m ³ 1 2 s Notations L and H0 have a similar meaning. We denote the norms and the inner products in L2 and Hs as in L2()W and Hs ()W . We consider the following system of equations ¶ = (), D - (),,Ñ ; Î W > tuaxtu fxu ut,,,(5.1)x t 0 = (), = () u ¶W 0 ,,ux 0 u0 x (), =D()()¼, ; ; (), as the main model.

In cases when the dynamical system generated by equations (5.1) is dissipative, the global Lipschitz condition (5.5) can be weakened. For example (see [8]), if a is a constant matrix and n fxu(),,Ñut; = fxu(), + b ()¶x ugx+ (), å j xj j = 1 = ()1 ,,¼ m Î ¥ = (),,¼ Î 2 = (),,¼ where bj bj bj L ,gg1 gm L , and f f1 fm is continuously differentiable and satisfies the conditions p p - 1 (), ³ m 0 (), £ m 0 + > f xuu 1 u ,fx u 2 u C ,,p0 2

Let us formulate our main assertion.

Then equation (5.1) for wuv= - gives us that ¶ = (), D - ()(),,Ñ ; - (),,Ñ ; t waxtw fxu ut fxv vt. If we multiply this by Dw in L2 scalarwise and use equation (5.4), then we find that æö 1 ×md Dwt()2 + Dwt()2 £ kwt() + ()Ñw ()t × Dwt() 2 dt 0 èø for t >Ñ0 large enough. Therefore, the inequality w 2 = ()ww, D £ ww× D enables us to obtain the estimate 2 2 d Ñ 2 + m D 2 £ 2 k æö+ 27 æök 2 w 0 w m èø1 èøm w .(5.9) dt 0 4 0 Theorem 2.1 implies that 2 2 2 2 w £ CN(), d max l ()w + ()e1+ d ××L w (5.10) j j 2 Îd2 Ç 1 > (), d >eº for all w H H0 and for any 0 , where CN 0 is a constant and L º e ()2 Ç 1, 2 L H H0 L . Consequently, estimate (5.9) gives us that ()e+ d 2 d 2 æö1 L 2 2  Ñwt() + m ××ç÷1 -  Dwt() £ Cl× max ()w , dt 0 (), m 2 j j èøpk 0 (), m where pk 0 is defined by equation (5.6).

Therefore, equation (5.7) implies (5.8). Thus, Theorem 5.1 is proved.

Let us give several examples of sets of determining functionals for problem (5.1).

Example 5.1 (determining modes, m ³ 1 ) {}- D 2 Let ek be eigenelements of the operator in L with the Dirichlet bounda- ¶W < l ££l ¼ ry conditions on and let 0 1 2 be the corresponding eigenva- lues. Then the completeness defect of the set ìü L = íýl : l ()w = wx()× e ()x dx , j = 1,,¼ N îþj j ò j W e ()2 Ç 1, 2 £ × l-1 can be easily estimated as follows: L H H0 L n N +1 (see Exer- l > × (), m -1 L cise 2.6). Thus, if N possesses the property N +1 npk 0 , then ()2 Ç 1,,1 W is a set of asymptotically H H0 H0 -determining functionals for prob- lem (5.1).

Considerations of Section 5.3 also enable us to give the following examples.

It is also clear that the result of Exercise 2.8 enables us to construct mixed determin- ing functionals: they are determining nodes or local volume averages depending on the components of a state vector. Other variants are also possible.

However, it is possible that not all the components of the solution vector ux(), t appear to be essential for the asymptotic behaviour to be uniquely determined. A theorem below shows when this situation can occur. Let I be a subset of {}1,,¼ m .

The abstract form of Theorem 5.2 can be found in [3].

As an application of Theorem 5.2 we consider a system of equations which describe the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction. This system (see [9], [10], and the references there- £ = (), = (),, in) can be obtained from (5.1) if we take n 3 , m 3 , axt diag d1 d2 d3 and (),,Ñ ; º ()= ()(); (); () fxu ut fu f1 u f2 u f3 u , where ()= - a()- + - b 2 f1 u u2 u1u2 u1 u1 , ()= - 1 ()g - - ()= - d()- f2 u a u3 u2 u1u2 ,.f3 u u1 u3 Here abg,,, and d are positive numbers.

This enables us to prove (5.14) and, hence, the validity of the assertions of Theorem 5.2 for the system of Belousov-Zhabotinsky L = {}= ,,¼ equations. Therefore, if lj : j 1 N is a set of linear functionals on 2 ()W Çe1()W ()()W2 Ç 1 (), 2()W H H0 such that L H H0 L is small enough, then the condition t +1 ()()t - ()()t 2 t = = ,,¼ limlj u1 lj v1 d 0 ,,j 1 N t ® ¥ ò t ()= ()(),,() () ()= (,(), () for some pair of solutions ut u1 t u2 t u3 t and vt v1 t v2 t ()) W v3 t which lie in implies that ()- () ® ® ¥ ut vt 1 0 ast . In particular, this means that the asymptotic behaviour of solutions to the Belousov- Zhabotinsky system is uniquely determined by the behaviour of one of the compo- nents of the state vector. A similar effect for the other equations is discussed in the sections to follow.

The approach presented above can also be used in the study of the Navier-Stokes system.

We remind (see, e.g., [11]) that A is a positive operator with dis- crete spectrum and the bilinear operator Bu(), v is a continuous mapping from DA()´ DA() into H . In this case problem (5.19) can be rewritten in the form ¶ u ++nAu B() u, u = PFt(),.(5.20)u = u ÎH t t = 0 0 ÎP()Î ¥(); It is well-known (see, e.g., [11]) that if u0 H and Ft L R+ H , then prob- lem (5.20) has a unique solution ut() such that ()Î (); Ç (), ¥ ; () > ut C R+ H Ct0 + DA ,.(5.21)t0 0 One can prove (see [9] and [12]) that it possesses the property ta+ 2 æö lim 1 Au()t 2 dt £ F 1 + 1 (5.22) a ò n2 èønl t ® ¥ a 1 t >l= ()p¤ 2 for any a 0 .

It should be noted that assertion 1 of Theorem 5.3 and the results of Section 3 enable us to obtain estimates for the number of determining nodes and local volume avera- ges that are close to optimal (see the references in the survey [3]). At the same time, although assertion 2 uses only one component of the velocity vector, in general it makes it necessary to consider a much greater number of determining functionals in comparison with assertion 1. It should also be noted that assertion 2 remains true if instead of wk we consider the projections of the velocity vector onto an arbitrary a priori chosen direction [3]. Furthermore, analogues of Theorems 1.3 and 4.4 can be proved for the Navier-Stokes system (5.19) (the corresponding variants of estimates (4.28) and (4.29) can be derived from the arguments in [2], [8], and [9]).

In this model uv describes the electric potential in the nerve and j is the density of a chemical and can vary between 01 and . Problem (6.1) and (6.2) has been studied by many authors (see, e.g., [9], [10], [13] and the references therein) for different boundary conditions. The results of numerical simulation given in [13] show that the asymptotic behaviour of solutions to this problem can be quite complicated. In this chapter we focus on the existence and the structure of deter- mining functionals for problem (6.1) and (6.2). In particular, we prove that the

asymptotic behaviour of densities vj is uniquely determined by sets of functionals defined on the electric potential uu only. Thus, the component of the state vector ( ,, ,) uv1 v2 v3 is leading in some sense. We equip equations (6.1) and (6.2) with the initial data = () = () = ,, u = u0 x ,,,(6.4)vj vj 0 x j 123 t 0 t = 0 and with one of the following boundary conditions: == = = > u = u = dj vj dj vj 0 ,,(6.5a)t 0 x 0 xL x = 0 xL= ¶ ==¶ × ¶ =× ¶ => x u x u dj x vj dj x vj 0 ,,(6.5b)t 0 x = 0 xL= x = 0 xL= ()+ , - (), ==× ()()+ , - (), Î 1 > ux L t ux t dj vj xLt vj xt 0 ,,,(6.5c)x R t 0 = ,, (), where j 123 . Thus, we have no boundary conditions for the function vj xt = ,, when the corresponding diffusion coefficient dj is equal to zero for some j 123 . Let us now describe some properties of solutions to problem (6.1)–(6.5). First of all it should be noted (see, e.g., [10]) that the parallelepiped ìü DUuv= íýº (),,,v v : d ££u d ,0££v 1 , j = 123,, Ì R4 îþ1 2 3 2 1 j is a positively invariant set for problem (6.1)–(6.5).

Of course, similar estimates are valid for modes and generalized volume averages. Thus, for the asymptotic dynamics of the system to be determined by a small ¤ number of functionals, we should require the smallness of the parameter Ld0 . However, using the results available (see [14]) on the analyticity of solutions to problem (6.1)–(6.5) one can show (see Theorem 6.2 below) that the values of all = (),,, components of the state vector Uuv1 v2 v3 in two sufficiently close nodes uniquely determine the asymptotic dynamics of the system considered not depend- ¤ ing on the value of the parameter Ld0 . Therewith some regularity conditions for the coefficients of equations (6.1) and (6.2) are necessary. Let us consider the periodic initial-boundary value problem (6.1)–(6.5c).

Hence, V - V * ® 0 as k ® ¥ . Therefore, equation (6.31) implies that nk nk ()- *()= limUtn U tn 0 . k ® ¥ k k This contradicts assumption (6.30). Theorem 6.2 is proved.

It should be noted that the connection between the Gevrey regularity and the exis- tence of two determining nodes was established in the paper [15] for the first time. The results similar to Theorem 6.2 can also be obtained for other equations (see the references in [3]). However, the requirements of the spatial unidimensionality of the problem and the Gevrey regularity of its solutions are crucial.

§ 8 On Boundary Determining Functionals

The fact (see Sections 5–7 as well as paper [3]) that in some cases determining func- tionals can be defined on some auxiliary space admits in our opinion an interesting generalization which leads to the concept of boundary determining functionals. We now clarify this by giving the following simple example. In a smooth bounded domain W Ì Rd we consider a parabolic equation with the nonlinear boundary condition

The notation R+ has a similar meaning, the bar denotes the closure of a set. (), (), Let u1 xt and u2 xt be two solutions to problem (8.1) lying in the class W (we do not discuss the existence of such solutions here and refer the reader to ()= ()- () the book [7]). We consider the difference ut u1 t u2 t . Then (8.1) evidently implies that

Using (8.2) we obtain that

Then L is an asymptotically determining set with respect to L2()W for problem (8.1) in the class of classical solutions W .

In this chapter we consider some questions on the asymptotic behaviour of a dis- crete dynamical system. We remind (see Chapter 1) that a discrete dynamical sys- tem is defined as a pair ()XS, consisting of a metric space X and a continuous mapping of X into itself. Most assertions on the existence and properties of attrac- tors given in Chapter 1 remain true for these systems. It should be noted that the fol- lowing examples of discrete dynamical systems are the most interesting from the point of view of applications: a) systems generated by monodromy operators (period mappings) of evolutionary equations, with coefficients being periodic in time; t -1()=- b) systems generated by difference schemes of the type un +1 un = () = ,,,¼ Fun , n 012 in a Banach space X (see Examples 1.5 and 1.6 of Chap- ter 1). The main goal of this chapter is to give a strict mathematical description of one of the mechanisms of a complicated (irregular, chaotic) behaviour of trajectories. We deal with the phenomenon of the so-called homoclinic chaos. This phenomenon is well-known and is described by the famous Smale theorem (see, e.g., [1–3]) for fi- nite-dimensional systems. This theorem is of general nature and can be proved for infinite-dimensional systems. Its proof given in Section 5 is based on an infinite-di- mensional variant of Anosov’s lemma on e -trajectories (see Section 4). The conside- rations of this Chapter are based on the paper [4] devoted to the finite-dimensional case as well as on the results concerning exponential dichotomies of infinite-dimen- sional systems given in Chapter 7 of the book [5]. We follow the arguments given in [6] while proving Anosov’s lemma.

§ 1 Bernoulli Shift as a Model of Chaos

Mathematical simulation of complicated dynamical processes which take place in real systems requires that the notion of a state of chaos be formalized. One of the possible approaches to the introduction of this notion relies on a selection of a class of expli- citly solvable models with complicated (in some sense) behaviour of trajectories. Then we can associate every model of the class with a definite type of chaotic beha- viour and use these models as standard ones comparing their dynamical structure with a qualitative behaviour of the dynamical system considered. A discrete dynami- cal system known as the Bernoulli shift is one of these explicitly solvable models. Let m ³ 2 and let ìü S = íýx = ()¼,x- ,,,x x ¼ : x Î {}12,,¼ ,m , j ÎZ , m îþ1 0 1 j S i.e. m is a set of two-sided infinite sequences the elements of which are the inte- ,,¼ , S gers 12 m .

S In the space m we define a mapping S which shifts every sequence one symbol left, i.e. []= Î = {}Î S Sx i xi +1 ,,i Z xxi m . Evidently, S is invertible and the relations dSx(), Sy £ 2 dxy(), , dS()-1xS, -1y £ 2 dxy(), ,SÎ hold for all xy m . Therefore, the mapping S is a homeomorphism.

Thus, summing up the results of the exercises given above, we obtain the following assertion.

Theorem 1.1. ()S , The dynamical system m S of the Bernoulli shift of sequences ofm symbols possesses the properties: 1) there exists a finite number of fixed points; 2) there exist periodic orbits of any minimal period and the set of these S orbits is dense in the phase space m ; 3) the set of nonperiodic points is uncountable; 4) heteroclinic and homoclinic points are dense in the phase space; 5) there exist everywhere dense trajectories.

All these properties clearly imply the extraordinarity and complexity of the dyna- ()S , mics in the system m S . They also give a motivation for the following definitions. Exponential Dichotomy and Difference Equations 369

Let ()Xf, be a discrete dynamical system. The dynamics of the system ()Xf, is called chaotic if there exists a natural number kf such that the mapping k is topologically conjugate to the Bernoulli shift for some m , i.e. there exists a homeo- ® S ()k ()= ()() Î morphism h: X m such that hf x Shx for all xX . We also say that chaotic dynamics is observed in the system ()Xf, if there exist a number k and a set YX in invariant with respect to fk ()f kYYÌ such that the restriction of f k to Y is topologically conjugate to the Bernoulli shift. It turns out that if a dynamical system ()Xf, has a fixed point and a correspon- ding homoclinic trajectory, then chaotic dynamics can be observed in this system under some additional conditions (this assertion is the core of the Smale theorem). Therefore, we often speak about homoclinic chaos in this situation. It should also be noted that the approach presented here is just one of the possible methods used to describe chaotic behaviour (for example, other approaches can be found in [1] as well as in book [7], the latter contains a survey of methods used to study the dynam- ics of complicated systems and processes).

§ 2 Exponential Dichotomy and Difference Equations

This is an auxiliary section. Nonautonomous linear difference equations of the form = + Î xn +1 An xn hn ,,n Z (2.1) {} in a Banach space XA are considered here. We assume that n is a family of linear bounded operators in Xh , n is a sequence of vectors from X . Some results both ()º on the dichotomy (splitting) of solutions to homogeneous hn 0 equation (2.1) and on the existence and properties of bounded solutions to nonhomogeneous equa- tion are given here. We mostly follow the arguments given in book [5] as well as in paper [4] devoted to the finite-dimensional case. {}Î Thus, let An : n Z be a sequence of linear bounded operators in a Banach space X . Let us consider a homogeneous difference equation = Î xn +1 An xn ,,nJ (2.2) where J is an interval in Z , i.e. a set of integers of the form = {}Î << JnZ : m1 nm2 , = -¥ = ¥ where m1 and m2 are given numbers, we allow the cases m1 and m2 + . {}Î Evidently, any solution xn : nJ to difference equation (2.2) possesses the pro- perty = $(), ³ , Î xm mnxn ,,mn mn J , 370 Homoclinic Chaos in Infinite-Dimensional Systems

C $(), = ××¼ >$(), = h where mn Am -1 An for mn and mm I . The mapping a $()mn, is called an evolutionary operator of problem (2.2). p t e Exercise 2.1 Prove that for all mnk³³ we have r $()$mk, = ()$mn, ()nk, . 6 {}Î 2 = Exercise 2.2 Let Pn : nJ be a family of projectors (i.e. Pn Pn ) in X = such that Pn +1 An An Pn . Show that $()$, = (), ³ , Î Pm mn mnPn ,,mn mn J , $(), i.e. the evolutionary operator mn maps Pn XP into m X . {} Exercise 2.3 Prove that solutions xn to nonhomogeneous difference equation (2.1) possess the property m - 1 = $(), + $(), + > xm mnxn å mk1 hk ,.mn kn=

{} Let us give the following definition. A family of linear bounded operators An is said to possess an exponential dichotomy over an interval J with constants > << {}Î K 0 and 0 q 1 if there exists a family of projectors Pn : nJ such that = , + Î a) Pn +1 An An Pn ,nn 1 J ; $(), £ mn- ³ , Î b)mnPn Kq ,mn ,mn J ; c) for nm³$ the evolutionary operator ()nm, is a one-to-one mapping ()- ()- of the subspace 1 Pm X onto 1 Pn X and the following estimate holds: $(), -1 - £ nm- £ , Î nm 1 Pn Kq ,,mn mn J . If these conditions are fulfilled, then it is also said that difference equation (2.2) ad- mits an exponential dichotomy over JJ . It should be noted that the cases = Z and =  J Z ± are the most interesting for further considerations, where Z+ Z– is the set of all nonnegative (nonpositive) integers. The simplest case when difference equation (2.2) admits an exponential dicho- tomy is described in the following example.

Example 2.1 (autonomous case)

Assume that equation (2.2) is autonomous, i.e. An º A for all n , and the spec- trum s ()A does not intersect the unit circumference {}z Î C : z =1 . Linear operators possessing this property are often called hyperbolic (with respect to the fixed point x = 0 ). It is well-known (see, e.g., [8]) that in this case there exists a projector P with the properties: Exponential Dichotomy and Difference Equations 371

a)AP= PA , i.e. the subspaces PX and ()1-P X are invariant with re- spect to A ; s () b) the spectrum A PX of the restriction of the operator APX to lies strictly inside of the unit disc; s() c) the spectrum A ()1- P X of the restriction of A to the subspace ()1- P X lies outside the unit disc.

Exercise 2.4 Let CX be a linear bounded operator in a Banach space and let r º max {}z : z Î s()C be its spectral radius. Show that for > r ³ any q there exists a constant Mq 1 such that n £ n = ,,,¼ C Mq q , n 012  (Hint: use the formula r = lim Cn 1 n the proof of which can be n ® ¥ found in [9], for example).

Applying the result of Exercise 2.4 to the restriction of the operator A to PX , we ob- tain that there exist K > 0 and 0 < 0 and 0 <

Exercise 2.5 Assume that for the operator AP there exists a projector such that AP= PA and estimates (2.3) and (2.4) hold with 0 <

Thus, the hyperbolicity of the linear operator A is equivalent to the exponential di- = chotomy over Z of the difference equation xn +1 Axn with the projectors Pn in- dependent of n . Therefore, the dichotomy property of difference equation (2.2) should be considered as an extension of the notion of hyperbolicity to the nonauto- nomous case. The meaning of this notion is explained in the following two exercises.

Exercise 2.6 Let A be a hyperbolic operator. Show that the space X can be decomposed into a direct sum of stable Xs and unstable Xu sub- spaces, i.e. XX= s + Xu therewith 372 Homoclinic Chaos in Infinite-Dimensional Systems

C n n s h A xKq£ x , xXÎ ,n ³ 0 , a p An xK³ -1 q-n x ,,,xXÎ u n ³ 0 t e with some constants K > 0 and 0 <

The next assertion (its proof can be found in the book [5]) plays an important role in the study of existence conditions of exponential dichotomy of a family of operators {}Î An : n Z .

Theorem 2.1. {}Î Let An : n Z be a sequence of linear bounded operators in a Ba- nach space X . Then the follfollooowingwing assertions are equivalent: {}Î (i) the sequence An : n Z possesses an exponential dichotomy over Z , (ii) for any bounded sequence {}hn : n Î Z from X there exists a unique {}Î bounded solution xn : n Z to the nonhomogeneous difference equation = + Î xn +1 An xn hn ,,.n Z . (2.5)

{} In the case when the sequence An possesses an exponential dichotomy, solutions to difference equation (2.5) can be constructed using the Green function: ì $(), ³ ï nmPm , nm, Gn(), m = í ï -[]$()mn, -1 ()1 - P , nm< . î m

Exercise 2.8 Prove that Gn(), m £ Kq nm- . {}Î Exercise 2.9 Prove that for any bounded sequence hn : n Z from X a solution to equation (2.5) has the form = (), + Î xn å Gn m 1 hm ,.n Z m Î Z Exponential Dichotomy and Difference Equations 373

Moreover, the following estimate is valid: + £ 1 q sup xn K sup hn . n 1- q n

The properties of the Green function enable us to prove the following assertion {} on the uniqueness of the family of projectors Pn . Lemma 2.1. {} Let a sequence An possess an exponential dichotomy over Z . Then {}Î the projectors Pn : n Z are uniquely defined.

Proof. {} {} Assume that there exist two collections of projectors Pn and Qn for {} (), which the sequence An possesses an exponential dichotomy. Let GP nm (), and GQ nm be Green functions constructed with the help of these collec- tions. Then Theorem 2.1 enables us to state (see Exercise 2.9) that (), + = (), + å GP nm1 hm å GQ nm 1 hm m Î Z m Î Z Î {}Ì = for all n Z and for any bounded sequence hn X . Assuming that hm 0 ¹ - = = - for mk1 and hm h for mk1 , we find that (), = (), Î , Î ³ GP nkhGQ nkh ,,hX nk Z ,.nk = = This equality with nk gives us that Pn hQnh . Thus, the lemma is proved.

In particular, Theorem 2.1 implies that in order to prove the existence of an expo- nential dichotomy it is sufficient to make sure that equation (2.5) is uniquely solv- able for any bounded right-hand side. It is convenient to consider this difference ¥ º ¥(), = {}Î equation in the space lX l Z X of sequences x xn: n Z of elements of X for which the norm ìü x ¥ =={}x sup íýx : n Î Z (2.6) l n l¥ îþn is finite. Assume that the condition ìü sup íýA : n Î Z < ¥ (2.7) îþn = {}Î ¥ {}= - ¥ is valid. Then for any x xn lX the sequence yn xn An -1 xn -1 lies in lX . Consequently, equation ()= - = {}Î ¥ L x n xn An -1 xn -1 ,(2.8)x xn lX ¥ = ¥(), defines a linear bounded operator acting in the space lX l Z X . Therewith as- sertion (ii) of Theorem 2.1 is equivalent to the assertion on the invertibility of the operator L given by equation (2.8). 374 Homoclinic Chaos in Infinite-Dimensional Systems

C h The assertion given below provides a sufficient condition of invertibility of the a operator L . Due to Theorem 2.1 this condition guarantees the existence of an expo- p t nential dichotomy for the corresponding difference equation. This assertion will be e used in Section 4 in the proof of Anosov’s lemma. It is a slightly weakened variant r of a lemma proved in [6]. 6 Theorem 2.2. {}Î Assume that a sequence of operators An: n Z satisfies condition {}Î (2.7). Let there exist a family of projectors Qn : n Z such that £ - £ Qn K ,,,1 Qn K , (2.9) ()d- £ ()- £ d Qn +1 An 1 Qn ,,,1 Qn +1 An Qn , (2.10) Î ()- for all n Z . We also assume that the operator 1 Qn +1 An is invertible ()- ()- as a mapping from 1 Qn X into 1 Qn +1 X and the estimates £ l []()- -1 ()l- £ AnQn , 1 Qn +1 An 1 Qn +1 (2.11) are valid for every n Î Z . If K l £d1 ,,,£ 1 , (2.12) 8 8 ¥ then the operator Ll acting in X according to formula (2.8) is invertible and L-1 £ 2 K +1 .

Proof. Let us first prove the injectivity of the mapping L . Assume that there exists a = {}Î ¥ = = Î nonzero element x xn lX such that Lx 0 , i.e. xn An -1 xn -1 for all n Z . {} Let us prove that the sequence xn possesses the property ()- £ 1 Qn xn Qn xn (2.13) for all n Î Z . Indeed, let there exist m Î Z such that ()- > 1 Qm xm Qm xm .(2.14) ()- > It is evident that this equation is only possible when 1 Qm xm 0 . Let us con- sider the value º ()- - = Nm +1 1 Qm +1 xm +1 Qm +1 xm +1 = ()- - 1 Qm +1 Am xm Qm +1 Am xm . (2.15) It is clear that ()- ³ ()- ()- - ()- 1 Qn +1 An xn 1 Qn +1 An 1 Qn xn 1 Qn +1 An Qn xn . Since []()- -1 ()- ()- = ()- 1 Qn +1 An 1 Qn +1 An 1 Qn 1 Qn , Exponential Dichotomy and Difference Equations 375 it follows from (2.11) that ()- £ l ()- ()- 1 Qn x 1 Qn +1 An 1 Qn x for every xXÎ and for all n Î Z . Therefore, we use estimates (2.10) to find that ()- ³ l-1 ()- - d 1 Qn +1 An xn 1 Qn xn xn .(2.16) Then it is evident that ££+ ()- Qn +1 An xn Qn +1 An Qn xn Qn +1 An 1 Qn xn

It follows from (2.14) that £ + ()- < ()- xm Qm xm 1 Qm xm 21Qm xm . Therefore, > ()l-1 - l - d ()- Nm +1 2K 4 1 Qm xm . Hence, if conditions (2.12) hold, then ()- - >>()- 1 Qm +1 xm +1 Qm +1 xm +1 71Qm xm 0 .(2.18) When proving (2.18) we use the fact that l-1 ³³ ³ 8K 8 Qn 8 . > > Thus, equation (2.18) follows from (2.14), i.e. Nm 0 implies Nm +1 0 . Hence, ()- > ³ 1 Qn xn Qn xn for allnm . Moreover, (2.18) gives us that × ³³()- nm- ()- ³ Kxn 1 Qn xn 7 1 Qm xm ,.nm ® ¥ ® ¥ = {}Î ¥ Therefore, xn + as n + . This contradicts the assumption x xn lX . Thus, for all n Î Z estimate (2.13) is valid. In particular it leads us to the inequality ££()- + xn 1 Qn xn Qn xn 2 Qn xn .(2.19) Therefore, it follows from (2.17) that = £ ()ld+ Qn +1 xn +1 Qn +1 An xn 2 K Qn xn for all n Î Z . We use conditions (2.12) to find that Q x £ 1 Q x ,.n Î Z (2.20) n +1 n +1 2 n n 376 Homoclinic Chaos in Infinite-Dimensional Systems

C = {}¹ Î h If x xn 0 , then inequality (2.19) gives us that there exists m Z such that a Q x ¹ 0 . Therefore, it follows from (2.20) that p m m t ³ mn- > e Qn xn 2 Qmxm 0 r £ ® -¥ ® ¥ for all nm . We tend n to obtain that Qnxn + which is impossible 6 {} due to (2.9) and the boundedness of the sequence xn . Therefore, there does not Î ¥ = exist a nonzero x lX such that L x 0 . Thus, the mapping L is injective. Let us now prove the surjectivity of LR . Let us consider an operator in the ¥ space lX acting according to the formula ()= - ()- = {}Î ¥ R y n Qn yn Bn 1 Qn +1 yn +1 ,,y yn lX = []()- -1 ()- ()- where the operator Bn 1 Qn +1 An acts from 1 Qn +1 X into 1 Qn X and is inverse to ()1- Q A .

Consequently, ()- £ ()- × ++× LRy n yn Bn 1 Qn +1 yn +1 An -1 Qn -1 yn -1 + ()- ××()- Qn An -1 1 Qn -1 Bn -1 1 Qn yn . Therefore, inequalities (2.10), (2.11), and (2.12) give us that 1 LRyy- ££l ()2 + d y  y , l ¥ l ¥ 2 l ¥ i.e. LR -1 £ 12¤ . That means that the operator LR is invertible and - - ()LR 1 ££()1- LR- 1 1 2 .(2.22) = {} ¥ = Let h hn be an arbitrary element of lX .

Theorem 2.2 is proved. Hyperbolicity of Invariant Sets for Differentiable Mappings 377

§ 3 Hyperbolicity of Invariant Sets for Differentiable Mappings

Let us remind the definition of the differentiable mapping. Let XY and be Banach spaces and let U be an open set in Xf . The mapping from U into Y is called (Frechét) differentiable at the point x Î U if there exists a linear bounded ope- rator Df() x from XY into such that 1 lim  fx()+ v - fx()- Df() x v = 0 . v ® 0 v If the mapping fx is differentiable at every point ÎU , then the mapping Df: xDfx® () acts from UL into the Banach space ()XY, of all linear bounded oper- ators from XYDf into . If : UL® ()XY, is continuous, then the mapping f is said to be continuously differentiable (or C1 -mapping) on U . The notion of the derivative of any order can also be introduced by means of induction. For example, D2 fx() is the Frechét derivative of the mapping Df: UL® ()XY, .

Exercise 3.1 Let gf and be continuously differentiable mappings from U Ì X into Y and from W Ì Y into Z , respectively. Moreover, let UW and be open sets such that g()U Ì W . Prove that ()f ° g ()=x = fgx()() is a C1 -mapping on U and obtain a chain rule for the differentiation of a composed function Df()° g ()x = Df() g() x Dg() x ,.x Î U

Exercise 3.2 Let fX be a continuously differentiable mapping from into Xf and let n be the nff -th degree of the mapping , i.e. n()=x = ff()n -1()x , n ³ 1 ,f 1()x º fx() . Prove that f n is a C1 -map- ping on X and ()Df n ()x = Df() fn -1()x ×××Df()¼ fn -2()x Df() x . (3.1)

Now we give the definition of a hyperbolic set. Assume that f is a continuously dif- ferentiable mapping from a Banach space X into itself and L is a subset in X which is invariant with respect to ff ()L()L Ì L . The set is called hyperbolic (with respect to fPx ) if there exists a collection of projectors {}(): x ÎL such that a)Px() continuously depends on x ÎL with respect to the operator norm; b) for every x Î L Df() x × Px()= Pfx()()× Df() x ;(3.2) c) the mappings Df() x are invertible for every x Î L as linear operators from ()1- Px()XIPfx into ()- ()() X ; 378 Homoclinic Chaos in Infinite-Dimensional Systems

L = {} 1 Exercise 3.3 Let x0 , where x0 is a fixed point of a C -mapping f , ()=L i.e. fx0 x0 . Then for the set to be hyperbolic it is necessary () and sufficient that the spectrum of the linear operator Df x0 does not intersect the unit circumference (Hint: see Example 2.1).

L 1 g = {}Î Let be an invariant hyperbolic set of a C -mapping f and let xn : n Z L g =L{} be a complete trajectory (in ) for f , i.e. xn is a sequence of points from ()= Î such that fxn xn +1 for all n Z . Let us consider a difference equation ob- tained as a result of linearization of the mapping f along g : = () Î un +1 Df xn un ,.n Z (3.5)

Exercise 3.4 Prove that the evolutionary operator $()mn, of difference equation (3.5) has the form $(), = ()mn- () > , Î mn Df xn ,,mn mn Z .

Exercise 3.5 Prove that difference equation (3.5) admits an exponential di- chotomy over Z with (i) the constants Kq and given by equations = () (3.3) and (3.4) and (ii) the projectors Pn Pxn involved in the definition of the hyperbolicity.

It should be noted that property (a) of uniform continuity implies that the projectors Px() are similar to one another, provided the values of x are close enough. The proof of this fact is based on the following assertion.

Lemma 3.1. Let PQ and be projectors in a Banach space X . Assume that

PK£ ,,1- P £ K PQ- < 1 (3.6) 2K for some constant K ³ 1 . Then the operator JPQ= + ()1- P 1- Q (3.7) Hyperbolicity of Invariant Sets for Differentiable Mappings 379

possesses the property PJ= JQ and is invertible, therewith - J -1 £ ()12- KPQ× - 1 . (3.8)

Proof. Since P2 + ()1- P 2 = 1 , we have J -1 ==JP- 2 - ()1- P 2 PQ()- P + ()1- P ()PQ- . It follows from (3.6) that J - 1 £ 2 KP- Q < 1 . Hence, the operator J-1 can be defined as the following absolutely convergent series ¥ J-1 = å ()1- J n . n = 0 This implies estimate (3.8). The permutability property PJ= JQ is evident. Lemma 3.1 is proved.

Exercise 3.6 Let L be a connected compact set and let {}Px(): x Î L be a family of projectors for which condition (a) of the hyperbolicity de- finition holds. Then all operators Px() are similar to one another, i.e. ,LÎ = for any xy there exists an invertible operator JJxy, such that Px()= JP() y J-1 .

The following assertion contains a description of a situation when the hyperbolicity of the invariant set is equivalent to the existence of an exponential dichotomy for dif- ference equation (3.5) (cf. Exercise 3.5).

Theorem 3.1. Let fx() be a continuously differentiable mapping of the space X into ()= {}Î itself. Let x0 be a hyperbolic fixed point of ffx (0 x0 ) and let yn: n Z be a homoclinic trajectory (not equal to x0 ) of the mapping f , i.e. ()= Î ® ® ±¥ fyn yn +1 ,,,n Z ,,,yn x0 ,,.n . (3.9) L = {}È {}Î Then the set x0 yn : n Z is hyperbolic if and only if the diffe- rence equation = () Î un +1 Df yn un ,,,n Z , (3.10) possesses an exponential dichotomy over Z .

Proof. If L is hyperbolic, then (see Exercise 3.5) equation (3.10) possesses an expo- nential dichotomy over Z . Let us prove the converse assertion. Assume that equa- {}Î tion (3.10) possesses an exponential dichotomy over Z with projectors Pn: n Z 380 Homoclinic Chaos in Infinite-Dimensional Systems

C () h and constants Kq and . Let us denote the spectral projector of the operator Dfx0 a corresponding to the part of the spectrum inside the unit disc by P . Without loss p t of generality we can assume that e []()n £ n ³ r Df x0 PKq,,n 0 6 []()-n ()- £ -n ³ Df x0 1 P Kq ,.n 0 Î L () ()= ()= Thus, for every x the projector Px is defined: Px0 P , Pyk Pk . The structure of the evolutionary operator of difference equation (3.10) (see Exer- cise 3.4) enables us to verify properties (b)–(d) of the definition of a hyperbolic set. In order to prove property (a) it is sufficient to verify that - ® ® ±¥ Pk P 0 ask . (3.11) Since L is a compact set, then MDfx= sup {}(): x Î L < ¥ .(3.12) Let us consider the following difference equations = () Î vn +1 Df x0 vn ,,n Z (3.13) and ()k = ()()k Î wn +1 Df ynk+ wn ,,n Z (3.14) where k is an integer. It is evident that equation (3.14) admits an exponential di- ()k = (), chotomy over Z with constants Kq and and projectors Pn Pnk+ . Let Gn m and G()k ()nm, be the Green functions (see Section 2) of difference equations (3.13) and (3.14). We consider the sequence = (), - ()k (), Î xn Gn0 zG n 0 z ,.zX Since (see Exercise 2.8) Gn(), 0 £ Kqn ,,(3.15)G()k ()n, 0 £ Kq n {} we have that the sequence xn is bounded. Moreover, it is easy to prove (see Exer- {} cise 2.9) that xn is a solution to the difference equation - () = º []()- ()()k (), xn +1 Df x0 xn hn Df x0 Df ynk+ G n 0 z . {} It follows from (3.12) and (3.15) that the sequence hn is bounded. Therefore, (see Exercise 2.9), (), - ()k (), º = (), + Gn 0 zG n 0 z xn å Gn m 1 hm . m Î Z If we take n = 0 in this formula, then from the definition of the Green function we obtain that ()- = (), + ()()- ()()k (), PPk zGå 0 m 1 Df x0 Df ymk+ G m 0 z . m Î Z Hyperbolicity of InvariantAnosov’s Sets for Lemma Differentiable on e -trajectories Mappings 381

Therefore, equation (3.15) implies that ()- £ 2 ()- ()××mm+ +1 PPk zKå Df x0 Df ymk+ q z . m Î Z Consequently,

L = {}È {}Î It should be noted that in the case when the set x0 yn: n Z from The- g = {}Î orem 3.1 is hyperbolic the elements yn of the homoclinic trajectory yn: n Z are called transversal homoclinic points. The point is that in some cases (see, e.g., [4]) it can be proved that the hyperbolicity of L is equivalent to the transversa- s () u () lity property at every point yn of the stable W x0 and unstable W x0 mani- folds of a fixed point x0 (roughly speaking, transversality means that the surfaces s () u() W x0 and W x0 intersect at the point yn at a nonzero angle). In this case the trajectory g is often called a transversal homoclinic trajectory.

§ 4 Anosov’s Lemma on e -trajectories

1 {}Î Let fC be a -mapping of a Banach space Xy into itself. A sequence n : n Z inX is called a dd-pseudotrajectory (or -pseudoorbit) of the mapping f if for all n Î Z the equation -d()£ yn +1 fyn 382 Homoclinic Chaos in Infinite-Dimensional Systems

C {}Î e-trajectory h is valid. A sequence xn: n Z is called an -trajectory of the mapping f cor- a responding to a d -pseudotrajectory {}y : n Î Z if p n ()= Î t (a)fxn xn +1 for any n Z ; e r -e£ Î (b)xn yn for all n Z . {} 6 It should be noted that condition (a) means that xn is an orbit (complete tra- jectory) of the mapping fC . Moreover, if a pair of 1 -mappings fg and is given, then the notion of the e -trajectory of the mapping g corresponding to a d -pseu- doorbit of the mapping f can be introduced. The following assertion is the main result of this section.

Theorem 4.1. Let fC be a 1 -mapping of a Banach space X into itself and let L be a hyperbolic invariant ()f ()L Ì L set. Assume that there exists a D -vicini- ty O of the set L such that fx() and Df() x are bounded and uniformly O O e > continuous on the closure of the set . Then there exists 0 0 posses- sing the property that for every 0 0 there exists 0 such d {}Î L e that any -pseudoorbit yn: n Z lying in has a unique -trajectory { Î} {} xn: n Z corresponding to yn .

As the following theorem shows, the property of the mapping f to have an e -trajec- tory is rough, i.e. this property also remains true for mappings that are close to f .

Theorem 4.2. Assume that the hypotheses of Theorem 4.1 hold for the mapping f . Let Wh ()f be a set of continuously differentiable mappings g of the space X into itself such that the following estimates hold on the closure O of the D -vicinityO of the set L : fx()-hgx() < ,,.Df() x -hDg() x < . (4.1) e >eÎ ( , e ] Then 0 0 can be chosen to possess the property that for every 0 0 there exist de=hhed()> 0 and =d()> 0 such that for any -pseudotra- {}Î L ÎW () jectory yn: n Z (lying in ) of the mapping fg and for any h f {}Î there exists a unique trajectory xn : n Z of the mapping g with the pro- perty -e£ Î yn xn for all n Z .

It is clear that Theorem 4.1 is a corollary of Theorem 4.2 the proof of which is based on the lemmata below. Hyperbolicity of InvariantAnosov’s Sets for Lemma Differentiable on e -trajectories Mappings 383

Lemma 4.1. Let U be an open set in a Banach space X and let  : U ® X be a con- tinuously differentiable mapping.

i.e. TB maps the ball e into itself. This mapping is contractive in Be . Indeed, æö Tx()- Tx()£ 1 H ()hx , x + ()hx - ()x , 1 2 2G èø1 2 1 2 where H (), º G ()- G()-  ()+  ()= x1 x2 x1 x2 x1 x2 1 = []xG ()+ x ()- -  ()+ x()- ()- ò D x1 x1 x2 D x1 x1 x2 d x1 x2 . 0 It follows from (4.5) that H ()x , x £ 1 G x - x . 1 2 2 1 2 This equation and inequality (4.6) imply the estimate

Therefore, the mapping TB has a unique fixed point in the ball e = {x : xy-e£}. The lemma is proved.

Let the hypotheses of Theorems 4.1 and 4.2 hold. We assume that h < 1 in (4.1). Then for any element g ÎWh()f the following estimates hold: gx() £ M ,,,(4.7)Dg() x £ M x Î O where M > 0 is a constant. In particular, these estimates are valid for the mapping f .

Condition (4.11) guarantees the fulfillment of this property at each stage of reasoning. If we repeat the arguments from the proof of (4.13), then it is easy to complete the proof of (4.12) using induction as in Lemma 4.2. Lemma 4.3 is proved. 386 Homoclinic Chaos in Infinite-Dimensional Systems

Proof. As above, let us use induction. If j = 1 , it is evident that equations (4.15)– (4.17) hold. The transition from jj to +1 in (4.15) is evident. Let us consider estimate (4.16): j +1()- j +1()= æö()j()- ()j() + ()j()- ()j() f y g x èøff y fg x fg x gg x .(4.18) Condition (4.14) and the induction assumption give us that gj ()x lies in the ball with the centre at the point f j ()y Î L lying in O . Therefore, it follows from (4.18) that f j +1()y - g j +1()x ££Mfj()y -hg j ()x +ehmax(), () 1 ++¼ M j +1 . The transition from j to j +1 in (4.17) can be made in a similar way. Lemma 4.4 is proved.

The proof follows from the definition of the class of functions Wh ()f and estimates (4.7) and (4.17). Hyperbolicity of InvariantAnosov’s Sets for Lemma Differentiable on e -trajectories Mappings 387

Thus, the construction of -trajec- k k {} tories of the mapping f and g corresponding to the sequence yn is reduced to solving of the equations  ()x = 0 and G()x = 0 in the ball {}x: x ¥ £ e . Let us show that for k large enough Lemma 4.1 can be lX applied to the mappings  and G . Let us start with the mapping  .

Lemma 4.6.  1 ¥ The function is a C -smooth mapping in lX with the properties  () £ d 0 Mk -1 , (4.26)  ()-w () £ ()e £ e D x D 0 k ,.x ¥ (4.27) lX

Therefore, simple cal- culations and equation (4.21) give us (4.27). 388 Homoclinic Chaos in Infinite-Dimensional Systems

C h In order to deduce relations (4.2) and (4.3) from inequalities (4.26) and (4.27) for a y = 0 , we use Theorem 2.2. Consider the operator LD=  ()0 .

Then for h > 0 small enough every mapping g Î Wh ()f possesses a periodic trajectory of the period k .

§ 5 Birkhoff-Smale Theorem

One of the most interesting corollaries of Anosov’s lemma is the Birkhoff-Smale the- orem that provides conditions under which the chaotic dynamics is observed in a discrete dynamical system ()Xf, . We remind (see Section 1) that by definition the possibility of chaotic dynamics means that there exists an invariant set Y in the space Xf such that the restriction of some degree k of the mapping fY on is to- S pologically equivalent to the Bernoulli shift S in the space m of two-sided infinite sequences of m symbols.

Theorem 5.1. Let fX be a continuously differentiable mapping of a Banach space Î {}Î into itself. Let x0 X be a hyperbolic fixed point of fy and let n: n Z be a homoclinic trajectory of the mapping f that does not coincide with

x0 , i.e. ()= ()= ¹ Î ® ® ±¥ fx0 x0 ;;,fyn yn +1 ,,,yn x0 ,,;n Z ; yn x0 , n . {}Î Assume that the trajectory yn : n Z is transversal, i.e. the set L = {}È {}Î x0 yn : n Z is hyperbolic with respect to f and there exists a vicinity O of the set L such that fx() and Df() x are bounded and uniformly continuous on the closure O . By Wh()f we denote a set of continuously differentiable map- pings gX of the space into itself such that fx()-hgx()£ ,,,Df() x -hDg() x £ ,,.x ÎO . Birkhoff-Smale Theorem 391

Then there exists h > 0 such that for any mapping g Î Wh()f and for any m ³ 2 there exist a natural number l and a continuous mapping j of the S º jS() space m into a compact subset Y m in X such that = jS() l l ()= a) Y m is strictly invariant with respect to g , i.e. g Y Y ; = ()¼ ,,,¼ ¢¼= ()¢ ,,,¢ ¢ ¼ b) if a a-1 a0 a1 and a a-1 a0 a1 are elements S ¹ ¢ ³j()¹ j()¢ of m such that ai ai for some i 0 , then a a ; c) the restriction of g l on Y is topologically conjugate to the Bernoulli S shift S in m , i.e. l()jj()= () Î S g a Sa ,,.a m . Moreover, if in addition we assume that for the mapping g there exists e > {}Î {}Î 0 0 such that for any two trajectories xn : n Z and xn : n Z e L (of the mapping g ) lying in the 0 -vicinity of the set the condition x = x for some n Î Z implies that x = x for all n Î Z , then the map- n0 n0 0 n n ping j is a homeomorphism.

The proof of this theorem is based on Anosov’s lemma and mostly follows the stan- dard scheme (see, e.g., [4]) used in the finite-dimensional case. The only difficulty arising in the infinite-dimensional case is the proof of the continuity of the mapping j. It can be overcome with the help of the lemma presented below which is bor- rowed from the thesis by Jürgen Kalkbrenner (Augsburg, 1994) in fact. It should also be noted that the condition under which j is a homeomorphism holds if the mapping g does not “glue” the points in some vicinity of the set L , i.e. the equality gx()= gx() implies xx= .

Let us define the mapping from ai Z m into X by the formula j()= a w0 ,(5.14) {} {} where w0 is the zeroth element of the trajectory wn . Since the trajectory wn possessing the property (5.13) is uniquely defined, equation (5.14) defines a map- S ping from m into X . If we substitute i +1 for i in (5.13) and use the equations

Therefore, the equality zi +1, j a zij Sa S with S being the Bernoulli shift in m leads us to the equation 2 N +1 ()-e()£ g wnNij(),, zi +1, j Sa . Consequently, the uniqueness property of the e -trajectory in Theorem 4.2 gives us the equation ()= 2 N +1 ()() Î wn Sa g wn a ,.n Z Birkhoff-Smale Theorem 395

This implies that j()= 2 N +1j() Î S Sa g a ,,a m (5.15) i.e. property (c) is valid for l = 2 N +1 .

Thus, the mapping is injective in this case. Since m e is a compact metric space, then the injectivity and continuity of jj imply that is r a homeomorphism from S onto jS() . Theorem 5.1 is proved. 6 m m = jS() It should be noted that equations (5.13) and (5.14) imply that the set Y m lies in the eLh -vicinity of the hyperbolic set .

It is also clear that the set Y m is not uniquely determined.

In conclusion, it should be noted that different infinite-dimensional versions of Ano- sov’s lemma and the Birkhoff-Smale theorem have been considered by many authors (see, e.g., [6], [10], [11], [12], and the references therein).

§ 6 Possibility of Chaos in the Problem of Nonlinear Oscillations of a Plate

In this section the Birkhoff-Smale theorem is applied to prove the existence of chaotic regimes in the problem of nonlinear plate oscillations subjected to a periodic load. The results presented here are close to the assertions proved in [13]. However, the methods used differ from those in [13]. Possibility of Chaos in the Problem of Nonlinear Oscillations of a Plate 397

Let us remind the statement of the problem. We consider its abstract version as in Chapter 4. Let HA be a separable Hilbert space and let be a positive operator {} with discrete spectrum in He , i.e. there exists an orthonormalized basis k in H such that = l <¼l £ l £l= ¥ Aek k ek ,,.0 1 2 lim n n ® ¥ The following problem is considered: ì \\ ++g \ 2 +()š 12 2 - G + = w ï u u A u A u Au Lu h cos t , (6.1) í \ ï u = u Î F = DA(), u = u Î H .

The problem of the form (6.1) and (6.2) was studied in Chap- ter 4 in details (nonlinearity of a more general type was considered there). The re- sults of Section 4.3 imply that problem (6.1) and (6.2) is uniquely solvable in the class of functions W = (), ()Ç 1(), + C R+ DA C R+ H .(6.4) Moreover, one can prove (cf. Exercise 4.3.9) that Cauchy problem (6.1) and (6.2) is uniquely solvable on the whole time axis, i.e. in the class W = C()R, DA()Ç C1()R, H . This fact as well as the continuous dependence of solutions on the initial conditions (see (4.3.20)) enables us to state that the monodromy operator G acting in H = = DA()´ H according to the formula

(); = æöæö2p , \ æö2p Gu0 u1 èøu èøw u èøw (6.5) is a homeomorphism of the space H (see Exercise 4.3.11).

It follows from (6.10) and (6.6) that G¢ is a continuous linear mapping of H into itself. Using (6.10) it is also easy to see ¢ = ¢[], = (); that G G u0 u1 continuously depends on yu0 u1 with respect to the operator norm. Lemma 6.1 is proved.

Further we will also need the following assertion.

Lemma 6.2.

Estimate (6.14) can be obtained in a similar way. In its proof equations (6.12), (6.15), and (6.16) are used. We suggest the reader to carry out the corresponding reasonings himself/herself. Lemma 6.2 is proved.

Let us now prove that there exist an operator Lh and a vector such that the corres- ponding mapping G possesses a hyperbolic homoclinic trajectory. To do that, we use the following well-known result (see, e.g., [1], [13], as well as Section 7) related to the Duffing equation.

Theorem 6.1. Let g : R2 ® R2 be a monodromy operator corresponding to the Duffing equation \\ \ x -abx +ex3 = ()f × cosw t - dx , (6.17) i.e. the mapping of the plane R2 into itself acting according to the formula

§ 7 On the Existence of Transversal Homoclinic Trajectories

Undoubtedly, Theorem 6.1 on the existence of a transversal (hyperbolic) homoclinic trajectory of the monodromy operator for the periodic perturbation of the Duffing equation is the main fact which makes it possible to apply the Birkhoff-Smale theorem and to prove the possibility of chaotic dynamics in the problem of plate oscillations. In this connection, the question as to what kind of generic condition guarantees the existence of a transversal homoclinic orbit of monodromy operators generated by ordinary differential equations gains importance. Extensive literature is devoted to this question (see, e.g., [1], [2] and the references therein). There are several approaches to this problem. All of them enable us to construct systems with transversal homoclinic trajectories as small perturbations of “simple” systems with homoclinic (not transversal!) orbits. In some cases the corresponding conditions on perturbations can be formulated in terms of the Melnikov function. This section is devoted to the exposition and discussion of the results obtained by K. Palmer [14]. These results help us to describe some classes of systems of ordi- nary differential equations which generate dynamical systems with transversal ho- On the Existence of Transversal Homoclinic Trajectories 403 moclinic orbits. Such differential equations are obtained as periodic perturbations of autonomous equations with homoclinic trajectories. In the space Rn let us consider a system of equations \ x()t = gxt()() ,,xt()Î Rn (7.1) where g : Rn ® Rn is a twice continuously differentiable mapping. Assume that the Cauchy problem for equation (7.1) is uniquely solvable for any initial condition ()= ()() x 0 x0 . Let us also assume that there exist a fixed point z0 gz0 =0 and ()¹ a trajectory zt z0 homoclinic to z0 , i.e. a solution to equation (7.1) such that zt()® z as t ® ±¥ . Exercises 7.1 and 7.2 given below give us the examples of the 0 \\ cases when these conditions hold. We remind that every second order equation x + + ()= = Vx 0 can be rewritten as a system of the form (7.1) if we take x1 x and = \ x2 x .

Exercise 7.1 Consider the Duffing equation \\ x -ab x + x3 =ab0 ,., > 0 \ Prove that the curve zt()= () h()t , h()t ÎR2 is an orbit of the corres- ponding system (7.1) homoclinic to 0 . Here h()t = 2 ba¤bsech t . Exercise 7.2 Assume that for a function Ux()Î C3()R there exist a num- ber Eab and a pair of points < such that Ua()==Ub() E ;,;Ux()< E xabÎ (), U¢()a = 0 ;;.U¢¢()a < 0 U¢()b > 0 \\ Then system (7.1) corresponding to x + U¢()x = 0 possesses an or- bit homoclinic to ()a, 0 that passes through the point ()b, 0 .

Unfortunately, as the cycle of Exercises 7.3–7.5 shows, the homoclinic orbit of au- tonomous equation (7.1) cannot be used directly to construct a discrete dynamical system with a transversal homoclinic trajectory.

Exercise 7.3 For every t > 0 define the mapping f : Rn ® Rn by the for- ()= ()t ; (); mula fx0 x x0 , where xt x0 is a solution to equation (7.1) with the initial condition x0 . Show that f is a diffeomorphism n in R with a fixed point z0 and a family of homoclinic orbits {}s Î = ()+ t Î [ , t) yn : n Z , where yn zs n , s 0 . Exercise 7.4 Prove that the derivative f ¢ of the mapping f constructed in ¢() = ()t, Exercise 7.3 can be evaluated using the formula f x0 wy w , where yt(), w is a solution to problem \ ()= ¢()() () ()= y t g xt yt ,.y 0 w0 ()= (); Here xt xt x0 is a solution to equation (7.1) with the initial condition x0 . 404 Homoclinic Chaos in Infinite-Dimensional Systems

C h Exercise 7.5 Let f be the mapping constructed in Exercise 7.3 and let a {}zt(): t Î Z be a homoclinic orbit of equation (7.1). Show that p \ t {}()t Î wn = z n : n Z is a bounded solution to the difference equa- e = ¢() = ()t r tion wn +1 f yn wn , where yn zn (Hint: the function ()= \() \ = ¢()() 6 wt z t satisfies the equation w g zt w ). Thus, due to Theorems 2.1 and 3.1 the result of Exercise 7.5 implies that the set L = {}È {}()t Î z0 zn : n Z cannot be hyperbolic with respect to the mapping f defined by the formula ()= ()t ; (); fx0 x x0 , where xt x0 is a solution to equation (7.1) with the initial condition x0 . Nevertheless we can indicate some quite simple conditions on the class of perturbations {}ht(),, x m periodic with respect to t under which the mo- nodromy operator of the problem \ x()t = gxt()m() + ht(),, xt() m ,,(7.2)xt()Î Rn possesses a transversal (hyperbolic) homoclinic trajectory for m small enough.

Further we will use the notion of exponential dichotomy for ordinary differential equations (see [15], [16] as well as [5] and the references therein) Let At() be a continuous and bounded nn´ matrix function on the real axis. We consider the problem \ x()t = At()xt(),,t Î x = x , (7.3) R ts= 0 in the space X = Rn . It is easy to see that it is solvable for every initial condition. Therefore, we can define the evolutionary operator $()ts, , ts, Î R , by the for- mula $(), = ()º (), ; , Î tsx0 xt xt s x0 ,,ts R where xt() is a solution to problem (7.3).

Exercise 7.6 Prove that $()ts, =$ $()$tt, t (), s , ()tt, = I for all ts,,t Î R and the following matrix equations hold: d $()ts, = At()$()ts, ,.(7.4)d $()ts, = - $()ts, As() dt ds

Exercise 7.7 Prove the inequality

Let I be some interval of the real axis. We say that equation (7.3) admits an expo- nential dichotomy over the interval I if there exist constants K, a > 0 and a family of projectors {}Pt(): t ÎI continuously depending on t and such that Pt()$()$ts, = ()ts, Ps(),;ts³ (7.5) $()ts, Ps() £ Ke-a ()ts- ,,ts³ (7.6) -a ()- $()ts, ()IPs- () £ Ke st,,ts£ (7.7) for ts, ÎI .

Exercise 7.8 Let At()º A be a constant matrix. Prove that equation (7.3) admits an exponential dichotomy over R if and only if the eigenva- lues on A do not lie on the imaginary axis.

The assertion contained in Exercise 7.8 as well as the following theorem on the roughness enables us to construct examples of equations possessing an exponential dichotomy.

Theorem 7.1. Assume that problem (7.3) possesses an exponential dichotomy over an interval I . Then there exists e > 0 such that equation \ x()t = ()At()+ Bt() xt() (7.8) possesses an exponential dichotomy over I , provided Bt()£ e for t Î I . Moreover, the dimensions of the corresponding projectors for (7.3) and (7.8) are the same.

The proof of this theorem can be found in [15] or [16], for example.

The exercises given below contain some simple facts on systems possessing an expo- nential dichotomy. We will use them in our further considerations.

Exercise 7.9 Prove that equations (7.5)–(7.7) imply the estimates a ()- $()xts, ³ K -1 e ts()x1- Ps() ,,ts³ a ()- $()xts, ³ K -1 e st Ps()x,,ts£ for any x ÎX º Rn .

Exercise 7.12 Assume that equation (7.3) possesses an exponential dicho-

tomy over R+ (over R– , respectively). Show that any solution to problem (7.3) bounded on R+ (on R– , respectively) decreases at exponential velocity as t ® + ¥ (as t ® -¥ , respectively).

Exercise 7.13 Assume that equation (7.3) possesses an exponential dicho- tomy over the half-interval [a, + ¥) , where a is a real number. Prove that equation (7.3) possesses an exponential dichotomy over any semiaxis of the form [b, + ¥) . (Hint: Pt()= $()ta, Pa()$()at, ).

Exercise 7.14 Prove the analogue of the assertion of Exercise 7.13 for the semiaxis (-¥, a] .

Exercise 7.15 Prove that for problem (7.3) to possess an exponential dicho- tomy over R it is necessary and sufficient that equation (7.3) pos- sesses an exponential dichotomy both over R+ and R– and has no nontrivial solutions bounded on the whole axis R .

Exercise 7.16 Prove that the spaces V+ and V– (see (7.9) and (7.10)) pos- sess the properties n V+ Ç V– = {}0 ,,V+ + V– = X º R provided problem (7.3) possesses an exponential dichotomy over R .

Exercise 7.17 Consider the following equation adjoint to (7.3): \ y()t = -A*()t yt(), (7.11) where A*()t is the transposed matrix. Prove that the evolutionary operator Y()ts, of problem (7.11) has the form Y()$ts, = []()st, * .

Exercise 7.18 Assume that problem (7.3) possesses an exponential dichoto- my over an interval I . Then equation (7.11) possesses exponential dichotomy over I with the same constants K, a > 0 and projectors Qt()= IPt- ()* .

Exercise 7.19 Assume that problem (7.3) possesses an exponential dichoto- + = my both over R+ and R– . Let dimV+ dimV– n , where V± are defined by equalities (7.9) and (7.10). Show that the dimensions of the spaces of solutions to problems (7.3) and (7.11) bounded on the whole axis are finite and coincide. On the Existence of Transversal Homoclinic Trajectories 407

Exercise 7.20 Assume that problem (7.3) possesses an exponential dichoto- my over R . Then for any s ÎtR and > 0 the difference equation = $()+ t , xn s n s xn -1 possesses an exponential dichotomy over Z (for the definition see Section 2).

Let us now return to problem (7.1). Assume that z0 is a hyperbolic fixed point for ¢() (7.1), i.e. the matrix g z0 does not have any eigenvalues on the imaginary axis. Let () zt be a trajectory homoclinic to z0 . Using Theorem 7.1 on the roughness and the results of Exercises 7.13 and 7.14 we can prove that the equation \ y = g ¢()zt() y (7.12) possesses an exponential dichotomy over both semiaxes R+ and R– . Moreover, the dimensions of the corresponding projectors are the same and coincide with the di- ¢() mension of the spectral subspace of the matrix g z0 corresponding to the spec- trum in the left semiplane. Therewith it is easy to prove that dimV+ + dimV– = n , where V± have form (7.9) and (7.10). The result of Exercise 7.15 implies that equa- \ tion (7.12) cannot possess an exponential dichotomy over R (yt()= z()t is a solu- tion to (7.12) bounded on R ) while Exercise 7.19 gives that the number of linearly independent bounded (on R ) solutions to (7.12) and to the adjoint equation \ y = -[]g ¢()zt() * y (7.13) is the same. These facts enable us to formulate Palmer’s theorem (see [14]) as fol- lows.

Theorem 7.2. Assume that gx() is a twice continuously differentiable function from Rn into Rn and equation \ x = gx() {}() Î possesses a fixed hyperbolic point z0 and a trajectory zt: t R homo- ()= \() clinic to z0 . We also assume that yt z t is a unique (up to a scalar fac- tor) solution to equation \ y = g ¢()zt() y (7.14) bounded on R . Let ht(),, x m be a continuously differentiable vector func- Î -D()< tion Ttt-periodic with respect to and defined for R , xzt 0 , ms< m Î 0 , R . If ¥ ¥ ()y()t , ht(),, zt() 0 dt =y0 ,,,()()t , h ()tzt,,() 0 dt ¹ 0 , (7.15) ò Rn ò t Rn -¥ -¥ where y()t is a bounded (unique up to a constant factor) solution to the equation adjoint to (7.14), then there exist Ds and and suchsuch that that for for 0 <

supx ()t, m - zt() = 0()m , t Î R and x()x, m - (), m = limt 0 t 0 ; t ® ±¥ (c) the linearized equation \ ìü y = íýg ¢h()m()t, m + h¢ ()t,,h()mt, m y , (7.17) îþx h(), m x(), m x(), m where t is equal to either t or 0 t , possesses an ex- ponential dichotomy over R . This theorem immediately implies (see Exercise 7.20 and Theorem 3.1) that under conditions (7.15) the monodromy operator for problem (7.16) has a hyperbo- lic fixed point in a vicinity of the orbit {}zt(): t Î R and a transversal trajectory ho- moclinic to it.

We will not prove Theorem 7.2 here. Its proof can be found in paper [14]. We only outline the scheme of reasoning which enables us to construct a homoclinic trajecto- ry x ()t, w . Here we pay the main attention to the role of conditions (7.15). If we change the variable xzt= ()+ z in equation (7.16), then we obtain the equation \ z = gzt()()+ z -mgzt()() + ht(),, zt()+m z .  1(), n ´ We use this equation to construct a mapping from Cb RR R into 0 (), n Cb RR acting according to the formula \ ()zm, ®z ()zm, = - {}gzt()()+ z -mgzt()() + ht(),, zt()+m z .(7.18) k(), We remind that Cb R X is the space of k times continuously differentiable bound- ed functions from R into Xtk with bounded derivatives with respect to up to the - th order, inclusive. Thus, the existence of bounded solutions to problem (7.16) is equivalent to the solvability of the equation  ()zm, = 0 . It is clear that  ()00, = 0 . Therefore, in order to construct solutions to equation  ()zm, = 0 we should apply an appropri- ate version of the theorem on implicit functions. Its standard statement requires that the operator LD= z  ()00, be invertible. However, it is easy to check that the operator L has the form On the Existence of Transversal Homoclinic Trajectories 409

\ ()Ly ()t = y ()t - g ¢()zt() yt() . \ Therefore, it possesses a nonzero kernel ()Lz= 0 . Hence, we should use the modi- fied (nonstandard) theorem on implicit functions (see Theorem 4.1 in [14]). Roughly speaking, we should make one more change zm= w and consider the equation  ()m w, m = 0 .(7.19) If this equation is solvable and the solution w depends on m smoothly, then w sa- tisfies the equation

Dz  ()m w, m []w + m wm + Dm  ()m w, m = 0 ,(7.20) where wm is the derivative of w with respect to the parameter m . This equation can be obtained by differentiation of the identity  ()m w ()mm , =m0 with respect to . Due to the smoothness properties of the mapping  , it follows from (7.20) the solva- bility of the problem  (), +  (), = Dz 00w0 Dm 00 0 ,(7.21) which is equivalent to the differential equation \ = ¢()() + (),,() w0 g zt w0 ht zt 0 (7.22) in the class of bounded solutions. It is easy to prove that the first condition in (7.15) is necessary for the solvability of (7.22) (it is also sufficient, as it is shown in [14]). Further, the necessary condition of the dichotomicity of (7.17) for h()=t, m = x ()t, m on R is the condition of the absence of nonzero solutions to equation (7.17) bounded on R . However, this equation can be rewritten in the form

Dz  ()m w, m y()m = 0 ,(7.23) where ww= ()m is determined with (7.19). If we assume that equation (7.23) has nonzero solutions, then we differentiate equation (7.23) with respect to m at zero, as above, to obtain that  (), +  (), +  (), = Dzz 00w0 Dzm 00 y0 Dz 00y1 0 ,(7.24) = () = () ()m where w0 is a solution to equation (7.21), y0 y 0 ,y1 Dm y 0 , and y is a solution to equation (7.23). Equation (7.17) transforms into (7.14) when m = 0 . Therefore, the condition of uniqueness of bounded solutions to (7.14) gives us that = \() = y0 c0 z t , therewith we can assume that c0 1 . Hence, equation (7.24) trans- forms into an equation for y1 of the form \ - ¢()() = () y1 g zt y1 at ,(7.25) where

() ==-æö (), +  (), \ () at èøDzz 00w0 Dzm 00 z t

C () h Here w0 t is a solution to (7.22). A simple calculation shows that equation (7.25) a can be rewritten in the form p t d ()()+ \ () - ¢()() ()()+ \ () = (),,() e y1 t w0 t g zt y1 t w0 t ht tzt 0 .(7.26) r dt 6 The second condition in (7.15) means that equation (7.26) cannot have solutions bounded on the whole axis. It follows that equation (7.23) has no nonzero solutions, i.e. equation (7.17) is dichotomous for h()xt, m = ()t, m . Thus, the first condition in (7.15) guarantees the existence of a homoclinic tra- jectory x()t, m while the second one guarantees the exponential dichotomicity of the linearization of the equation along this trajectory. x (), m As to the existence and properties of the periodic solution 0 t , this situa- tion is much easier since the point z0 is hyperbolic. The standard theorem on im- plicit functions works here. It should be noted that condition (7.15) can be modified a little. If we consider a ()= ()- Î () “shifted” homoclinic trajectory zs t zt s for s R instead of zt in Theo- rem 7.2, then the first condition in (7.15) can be rewritten in the form ¥ D()s º æöy()ts- , ht(),, zt()- s 0 dt = 0 . ò èøRn -¥ If we change the variable tts® + , then we obtain that ¥ æö Dy()s = ()t , ht()+ s,,zt() 0 dt .(7.27) ò èøRn -¥ It is evident that ¥ æö D¢()s = y()ts- , h ()tzts,,()- 0 dt . ò èøt Rn -¥ Therefore, the second condition in (7.15) leads us to the requirement D¢()s ¹ 0 . D() D()=D¢()¹ Thus, if the function s has a simple root s0 (s0 0 ,s0 0 ), then the ()- () assertions of Theorem 7.2 hold if we substitute the value zt s0 for zt in (b). Performing the corresponding shift in the function x ()t, m , we obtain the asser- tions of the theorem in the original form. Thus, condition (7.15) is equivalent to the requirement D()=D¢()¹ Î s0 0 ,s0 0 for somes0 R , (7.28) where D()s has form (7.17).

In conclusion we apply Theorem 7.2 to prove Theorem 6.1. The unperturbed Duffing equation can be rewritten in the form \ = ì x1 x2 , í (7.29) î \ = b - a 3 x2 x1 x1 . On the Existence of Transversal Homoclinic Trajectories 411

\ The equation linearized along the homoclinic orbit zt()= () h()t , h()t (see Exer- cise 7.1) has the form \ = ì y1 y2 , í (7.30) î \ = b - ah()2 y2 y1 3 t y1 . Let us show that system (7.30) has no solutions which are bounded on the axis and \ \ not proportional to z()t . Indeed, if wt()= ()vt(), v()t is another bounded solution, \ \\ then due to the fact that h()t + h()t ® 0 as t ® ¥ , the Wronskian Wt()= \\ \ \ = vt()h()t - v()ht ()t possesses the properties

d Wt()= 0 andlimWt()= 0 . dt t ® ¥ \ This implies that Wt()º 0 and therefore vt() is proportional to h()t . Evidently, the equation adjoint to (7.30) has the form \ = - b + ah()2 ì y1 y2 3 t y2 , í (7.31) î \ = - y2 y1 . Since we have that \\ - b + ah()2 = y2 y2 3 t y2 0 , \\ \ a solution to (7.31) bounded on R has the form y()t = ()- h()t ; h()t . Let us now consider the corresponding function D()s . Since in this case htx()=,,m = (); w - d 0 f cos t x2 , we have ¥ \ \ Dh()s = ò ()t []f cosw()ts+ - dh()t dt , -¥ where b b -1 h() ==2  b 8  æöb t + - b t t a sech t a èøe e . Calculations (try to do them yourself) give us that w D()= w 2 × sin s  - 4 db32 s 2 f a a . æöpw 3 coshèø 2 b Therefore, equation D()s = 0 has simple roots under condition (6.19). Thus, the as- sertion of Theorem 6.1 follows from Theorem 7.2. It should be noted that in this case the function D()s coincides with the famous Melnikov function arising in the geometric approach to the study of the transversali- ty (see, e.g., [1], [2] and the references therein). Therewith conditions (7.28) trans- form into the standard requirements on the Melnikov function which guarantee the appearance of homoclinic chaos. 412 Homoclinic Chaos in Infinite-Dimensional Systems
