Infinite-Dimensional Dynamical Systems: An Introduction to Dissipative Parabolic Pdes and the Theory of Global Attractors

by James C. Robinson

Book Overview

This book develops the theory of global attractors for a class of parabolic PDEs that includes reaction-diffusion equations and the Navier-Stokes equations, two examples that are treated in detail. A lengthy chapter on Sobolev spaces provides the framework that allows a rigorous treatment of existence and uniqueness of solutions for both linear time-independent problems (Poisson's equation) and the nonlinear evolution equations which generate the...
