1 Introduction
The nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation provides a canonical description of envelope dynamics of quasi-monochromatic plane wave propagation processes which are negligible. The dynamics are linear within short propagation distance and short time, but cumulative nonlinear interactions lead to an important modulation of the wave amplitude on large spatial and temporal scales.
In optics, it can also be considered as the extension to nonlinear media of the paraxial approximation used for linear waves propagating in some random medium. However, by Kaminow [1], we know that single-mode optical fibers are not really single-mode, but actually bimodal according to the presence of birefringence. This birefringence can influence the way in which an optical fiber evolves during the propagation travel along the fiber. Indeed, it occurs that the linear birefringence makes a pulse split into two, and nonlinear birefringent traps them together against splitting. Menyuk [2, 3] showed that the evolution of two orthogonal pulse envelopes in birefringent optical fibers can be governed by the following coupled nonlinear Schrödinger system:
where e is a positive constant depending on the anisotropy of the fibers.
When \(e=0\), system (1.1)–(1.2) becomes two decoupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations.
When \(e=1\), system (1.1)–(1.2) is known as Manakov equations. The integrability of this system was proved by Manakov in 1974, and we shall regard it as the Integrable Manakov System (IMS).
Equations (1.1)–(1.2) are important for a number of physical applications (see [1–7]) when e is positive and all the remaining constants are set equal to 1. For example, when \(e=2\) for two-mode optical fibers; when \(e=2/3\) for propagation of two modes in fibers with strong birefringence, and in the general case \(2/3\le e \le 2\) for elliptical eigenmodes. The special value \(e=1\) (IMS) corresponds to at least two possible physical cases, one is the case of a purely electrostrictive nonlinearity, and another is in the elliptical birefringence case, when the angle between the major and minor axes of the birefringence ellipse is approximately 35°. Moreover, the experimental observation of Manakov solitons in crystals has been reported. The pulse–pulse collision between wavelength–division–multiplexed channels of optical fiber transmission systems are described by (1.1)–(1.2) with \(e=2\) (Hasewaga and Kodama [4]).
Since the coupled nonlinear Schrödinger (CNLS) equations describe the propagation of light waves in a nonlinear birefringent optical fiber, up to now, they have been studied intensively over 30 years to realize the idea of using optical solitons as information bits in high-speed telecommunication systems (see [8–19]). Moreover, collision of solitary waves is a common phenomenon in science and engineering and it has diverse applications in many areas of physics, including nonlinear optics, plasma physics, and hydrodynamics.
Notice that generalized coupled nonlinear Ginzburg–Laudau equations are more common than GCNLS equations and are supplemented by external force:
Firstly, we focus on generalized coupled nonlinear Ginzburg–Laudau equations which are more common than GCNLS equations and are supplemented with damping and external force as follows:
where \(u_{1}\), \(u_{2}\) are the wave amplitudes in two polarizations, a, b are positive real numbers, \(r,\sigma >0\) are the damping parameters, \(g(s)\) is a nonnegative smooth function on \(R^{+}\), and the external forcing \(f_{1} (x)\) and \(f_{2} (x)\) are independent of t, belonging to \(L^{2}(\Omega )\), where Ω is an open bounded set in \(R^{n}\).
With the appearance of memory materials, a great attention has been focused on the study of problems involving the fractional Laplacian
Consider the initial conditions
and the boundary condition
We rewrite (1.5) and (1.6) into the following form:
where
and \(U(x,t)=U\) in \(C(\overline{\Omega }\times R)\), \(t\in (0,T)\). We supply (1.9) with the initial and boundary conditions
The global solution of problem (1.9)–(1.10) can hardly be got. For the case of only an equation of problem (1.9), i.e., for the 2D Ginzburg–Landau equation, we obtain some explicit periodic wave solutions using the homogeneous balance principle and general Jacobi elliptic-function method and provide a blow-up solution (see [20]). Here, let us mention that there are both similarities and differences between the Schrödinger equation and the Landau–Lifshitz equation, the Landau–Lifshitz equation is more intrinsically difficult than the Ginzburg–Landau equation (see [21–24]). If α, β are positive real constants, we change the coefficients of (1.9) and get the generalized coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations
It is equipped with the same initial and boundary conditions as (1.10). With the help of the extended techniques developed by Caffarelli and Silvestre [25], some existence and nonexistence of Dirichlet problem involving the fractional Laplacian on bounded domain have been established, see Refs. [26] for example.
In this paper, we would rather switch our viewpoint to the fractional order equation \((E_{ig,Q, F, t})\):
in space \(V=H_{0}^{s}(\Omega )\times H_{0}^{s}(\Omega )\).
Notice that (1.9) is a special case of \((E_{ig,Q,F,t})\). The equation \((E_{ig,Q,F,t})\) includes the fractional Laplacian, time fractional order, and derivative terms, so it plays an important role in physics and probability in finance. We refer, for example, to [27–29] and the references therein.
As far as we know, there are few articles to study the global solution to \((E_{ig,Q,F,t})\) with three terms at the same time: the fractional order with respect to time, space fractional order, and derivative terms. It is studied only when there is the lack of the time fractional order or the space fractional order. For the case with derivative term, the existence of global solution is an open question even in the integer order case and one-dimensional space. In this paper we first build the existence of weak solution to \((E_{ig,Q,F,t})\), then we prove the existence of global attractor of (1.11) in \(L^{2}(\Omega )\times L^{2}(\Omega )\), and the dynamic motions will be given under the condition \(G(\rho )=\int _{0}^{\rho }g(\tau )\,d\tau \le g(\rho )\rho \) (\(\rho \ge 0\)).
2 Functional setting
As usual we denote the space of (classes of ) square-integrable measurable complex functions on \(\Omega \subset R^{n}\) by \(L^{p}(\Omega )\) (\(p\geq 1\)). \(H^{m}(\Omega ) m\in N \) is the subspace of \(L^{2}\)-functions whose distribution derivatives of order no more than m belong to \(L^{2}(\Omega )\). \(H_{0}^{1} (\Omega )\) denotes the space of functions in \(H^{1}(\Omega )\) whose trace vanishes on ∂Ω.
The scalar product and norm on \(L^{2}(\Omega )\) are
and we set
where \(u,v\in H^{m}(\Omega )\) and \([\alpha ]=\alpha _{1} +\alpha _{2} +\cdots +\alpha _{n} \) is length of the multi-index \(\alpha =(\alpha _{1},\alpha _{2},\ldots,\alpha _{n} )\in N^{n}\).
The basic Hilbert space \(L^{2}(\Omega )\times L^{2}(\Omega )\) is denoted by H, and we define the unbounded operator −Δ on H with domain
such that
The operator \(I-\Delta \) is self-adjoint, positive on H, and realizes an isomorphism from \(D(-\Delta )\) onto H. We deduce from the compactness of the embedding of \(H^{1}(\Omega )\) into \(L^{2}(\Omega )\) that \((I-\Delta )^{-1}\) is a compact self-adjoint operator in H. Thus, there exists an orthonormal Hilbert basis of H consisting of eigenvectors \(\omega _{j} \) of −Δ in \(H_{0}^{1} (\Omega )\times H_{0}^{1} (\Omega )\), associated to the eigenvalues \(\lambda _{j} \):
\(0< \lambda _{1} \le \lambda _{2} \le \cdots, \lambda _{j} \to \infty \) as \(j\to \infty \) (see [30]).
In fact, let \(w_{j}\) be an orthonormal basis of \(L^{2}(\Omega )\) consisting of eigenvectors \(\omega _{j}\) associated to the eigenvalues \(\mu _{j}\). Let
For every \(U=(u,v)=(\sum_{j=1}^{\infty }\beta _{1j}w_{j}, \sum_{j=1}^{\infty }\beta _{2j}w_{j})=\sum_{j=1}^{\infty }\int _{\Omega }(\beta _{1j}w_{2j-1}+\beta _{2j}w_{2j})\,dx\).
If we set
according to the boundary condition, we consider norms
and the scalar product can be written as
For every given \(s>0\), we define
if and only if
for those eigenvectors \(\omega _{j} \) of −Δ, associated to the eigenvalues \(\lambda _{j}\).
The powers \((-\Delta )^{s}\), \(s\in R\), are well-defined and the space \(H_{s}=D((-\Delta )^{s/2})\) and its dual space \({H_{s}}'=D((-\Delta )^{-s/2})\) are of particular interest in what follows. It should be noticed that
where
Remark 2.1
\(H_{1}=H^{1}_{0}=V, H_{2}=H^{2}_{0}, H_{-1}=H^{-1}=V', H_{[s]}=H^{[s]}_{0}\). When s is not an integer, \(H_{s}\) defined by us is slightly different from the generalized Sobolev space:
3 The time-fractional equations
Note that throughout this section the letter α may stand either for the parameter in Eq. (1.9) or for the order of the fractional equation when we use the notation \(D^{\alpha }U\). The meaning to be chosen should be clear from the context.
In order to discuss the existence of the solution for the equation \((E_{ig,Q,F,t})\), we need to present some basic notations, definitions, and preliminary results which will be used throughout this section. We first have the following two definitions and one lemma by Kilbas [31].
Definition 3.1
The Caputo fractional derivative of order α of a function \(f(t)\), \(t > 0\), is defined as follows:
where \(\{\alpha \}\), \([\alpha ]\) denote the fractional and the integer part of the real number α respectively, and \(\Gamma (\cdot )\) is the gamma function.
Definition 3.2
The Riemann–Liouville fractional integral of order α of a function \(f(t)\), \(t > 0\), is defined as follows:
provided that the right-hand side is pointwise defined on \((0, \infty )\).
Lemma 3.3
Assume \(y \in C[0, T]\), \(T > 0\), \(1 < \alpha < 2\), then the problem
has the unique solution
Now we establish some results of the existence of solution for the equation \((E_{ig, Q,F,t})\).
By Lemma 3.3, we may reduce equation \((E_{ig,Q, F,t})\) to an equivalent integral equation as the following problem:
And we set
Definition 3.4
We call \(U\in C([0,T]; H^{\prime}_{s}(\Omega )\times H^{\prime}_{s}(\Omega )), s\geq 1\), a weak solution of the fractional order equation \((E_{ig, Q,F, t})\) if \(\int _{\Omega }(U-\Upsilon (U))\overline{W}\,dx = 0\), \(\forall t\in [0,T]\) for every \(W\in H_{0}^{s}(\Omega )\times H_{0}^{s}(\Omega )\).
Lemma 3.5
The operator \(\Upsilon (U)\in C([0,T]; H^{\prime}_{s}(\Omega )\times H^{\prime}_{s}(\Omega )) \) is completely continuous.
Proof
Set \(B=\{U\mid \Vert U \Vert _{H_{s}\times H_{s}}\leq M\}\). Put
We can rewrite
For each \(W\in H_{0}^{s}(\Omega )\times H_{0}^{s}(\Omega )\) and \(\Vert W \Vert _{H_{0}^{s}(\Omega )\times H_{0}^{s}(\Omega )} \leq 1\), when \(n\leq 3s, 0< r\leq 3, 0< q\leq 6, \frac{1}{r}+\frac{1}{q}=1\), and \(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{s}{n}\leq \frac{1}{r},\frac{1}{2}-\frac{s}{n}\leq \frac{1}{(2k+1)r}\) (for example \(0< r\leq \frac{5}{6},k=2\)), using embedding theorem and Holder’s inequality, we have the following inequalities:
Similarly, \(\vert \langle U^{2}(x,s)(-\Delta )^{\frac{s}{2}}\overline{ U(x,s)},W \rangle \vert \leq M_{5}\), \(\vert \langle F,W\rangle \vert \leq M_{6}\).
Applying the equalities above, we immediately get \(\vert \langle K(U), W \rangle \vert \leq M\).
Thus, by Cauchy–Schwarz inequalities, we obtain
Hence, \(\Upsilon (U)\) is uniformly bounded.
On the other hand, given \(\epsilon > 0\), set
Then, for every \(W\in V\), \(t_{1} < t_{2}, t_{1},t_{2} \in [0,T] \), and \(t_{2}-t_{1} < \theta \), one has \(\Vert \Upsilon U(t_{2})-\Upsilon U(t_{1}) \Vert _{H_{s}^{\prime}} =\sup_{\Vert W \Vert _{H_{0}^{s}} \leq 1} \vert \langle \Upsilon U(t_{2})-\Upsilon U(t_{1}),W\rangle \vert \leq \epsilon \). That is to say, \(\Upsilon (U)\) is equicontinuity. In fact,
In the following, we divide the proof into two cases.
Case 1: \(\theta \leq t_{1} < t_{2} < T \), since \(1 < \alpha < 2\), we get
Case 2: \(0 \leq t_{1}, t_{2} < \alpha ^{\frac{1}{\alpha }}\theta \),
By applying the Arzela–Ascoli theorem, we know that \(\Upsilon (U):H_{s}(\Omega )\times H_{s}(\Omega )\rightarrow H^{\prime}_{s}(\Omega )\times H^{\prime}_{s}(\Omega )\) is completely continuous. This completes the proof. □
By Lemma 3.5, we know that \(\int _{\Omega }(U-\Upsilon (U))W\,dx = 0\), \(\forall t\in [0,T]\) for every \(W\in H_{0}^{s}(\Omega )\times H_{0}^{s}(\Omega )\). That is to say, the fractional order equation \((E_{ig,Q,F, t})\) has a unique weak solution \(U\in C([0,T]; H^{\prime}_{s}(\Omega )\times H^{\prime}_{s}(\Omega ))\).
4 Estimate to \(U_{t}\)
For \(U\in B\), from Sect. 3, we have
Hence, \(\Vert U_{t} \Vert _{H^{\prime}_{s}}\) is bounded.
Because
so
Integrating by parts, we have
Because \(\langle K(U),W\rangle\) is bounded, thus from Sect. 2 we deduce \(\langle K(U)+(-\Delta )^{s} U(x,s), W\rangle\leq M\). Hence, \(\int _{0}^{t}(t-s)^{\alpha -1}\Vert (-\Delta )^{\frac{s}{2}} U(x,s) \Vert _{H^{\prime}_{s}}\,ds\) is bounded.
5 A priori estimate of (1.9)–(1.10)
Lemma 5.1
If \(F\in H \), there is a priori estimate about solution \(U(x,t)\in H^{s} \) for problems (1.9)–(1.10) as follows:
Proof
Multiplying (1.9) by U̅ and integrating on Ω, we have
From our definition
In formula (5.1), we know that
we choose the imaginary part of (5.1)
Set \(\gamma =\min \{r,\sigma \}\), we have
Because of \(a\Vert (-\Delta )^{\frac{s}{2}} U \Vert _{H}^{2} \ge 0\), we get
To simplify the formula,
where \(F\in H \) and \(\Vert F\Vert _{H}^{2} \le M_{1} \). By using Gronwall’s inequality, we have
Then
Deducing from (5.3), we have
We integrate the equation above for \(t\in (0,T)\),
Because of \(\Vert U(T)\Vert _{H}^{2} \ge 0\), and \(\Vert U_{0} \Vert _{H}^{2} \) is bounded, therefore, \(\int _{0}^{T} {\Vert (-\Delta )^{\frac{s}{2}} U(s)\Vert _{H}^{2} }\,ds\) is bounded. Then we come to meet the conclusion that the local solution for coupled nonlinear Ginzburg–Laudau equations exists in the space \(H^{s}\), and \(U(x,t)\in L^{2}(0,T;H^{s})\).
At the same time, we choose the real part of (5.1) to find
and so
This proves the assertion. □
6 Some a priori estimates of CNLS equations
Lemma 6.1
If \(F\in H \), the solution \(U(x,t)\) of problems (1.10)–(1.11) has a priori estimates as follows:
Proof
Multiplying (1.11) by \(\overline{U(x,t)}\) and integrating on Ω, we have
Choosing an imaginary part of (6.2),
where \((QU,\overline{U})=((ru_{1},\sigma u_{2} ),(\overline{u}_{1},\overline{u}_{2} ))=\int _{\Omega }{r\vert u_{1} \vert ^{2}} +\sigma \vert u_{2} \vert ^{2}\,dx\), we set \(\gamma =\min \{r,\sigma \}\),
We know that \(U_{0} \in H\),
Because of \(F\in L^{\infty }(0,T;H)\), we have \(\Vert F\Vert _{H}^{2} \le M_{1} \), \(U(0)\in H\). By using Gronwall’s inequality, we get
then we finally get
□
Lemma 6.2
If \(F\in H\cap V\) and \(G(s)=\int _{0}^{s}g(s)\,ds\) satisfies \(G(s)\le g(s)s\) (\(s\ge 0\)), the solution \(U(x,t)\) of problems (1.10)–(1.11) has a priori estimates as follows:
here we introduced the functional equation
Proof
Multiplying (1.11) by \(\overline{U}_{t} \) and integrating on Ω, we have
where \((QU,U_{t} )=((ru_{1} +\sigma u_{2} ),(u_{1t},u_{2t} ))=\int _{\Omega }ru_{1} \overline{u}_{1t} +\sigma u_{2} \overline{u}_{2t}\,dx \), and
and the real part of (6.9) is
Return to see the real part of (6.2),
we have
Let us add (6.11) with (6.13), set \(\gamma =\min \{r,\sigma \}\), we have
Because \(f(x)\) is independent of t, so \(\frac{d}{dt}(F\overline{U})=F\overline{U}_{t} \), and (6.14) can change into
Set \(\delta =\max \{r,\sigma \}\), rewrite (6.15) as
We know that \(F\in L^{\infty }(0,T;H)\), \(F_{t} \in L^{\infty }(0,T;H)\), then \(\Vert F_{t} \Vert _{H}^{2}\), \(\Vert F\Vert _{H}^{2}\) are bounded in H, as to (6.6), then
By using Gronwall’s inequality, we get
Finally, we get
and
Then
□
Lemma 6.3
If \(g(s)\) is a slowly increasing function, \(s\geq \frac{n}{2}\), then
Proof
Multiplying the derivation of (1.9), with respect to t, by \(\overline{U}_{t} \) and integrating on Ω, we have
Choosing the imaginary part, we have
If \(g(s)\) is a slowly increasing function, \(s\geq \frac{n}{2}\), then
We can deduce
This completes the proof. □
7 Existence of solution
The existence of solutions of coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations will be considered in this section. We apply the Galerkin method to prove the existence of global smooth solution for problem (1.10)–(1.11). Let \(w_{j} =(w_{1j},w_{2j} )^{T}\) be the normalized eigenfunction of the equation \(-\Delta w_{j} +\lambda _{j} w_{j} =0\) with the Dirichlet boundary condition corresponding to eigenvalue \(\lambda _{j}\), and \(\{w_{j} (x)\}_{j=1}^{\infty }\in V\) forms a normalized orthogonal system of eigenfunctions.
For every \(m\in N\), we denote the approximate solution \(U_{m} (x,t)\) of (1.10)–(1.11) by the following form:
where \(\beta _{jm} (t)(j=1,2,\ldots,m)\) are coefficient functions of variable \(t\in (0,L)\). According to the Galerkin method, the coefficient \(\beta _{jm} (t)\) is assumed to satisfy the following system of nonlinear ordinary equations of the first order:
where \(\vert U_{m} \vert ^{2}=\vert u_{1m} \vert ^{2}+\vert u_{2m} \vert ^{2}\), \(j=1,2,\ldots,m\), with the initial condition
It is obvious that
and \(U_{0j} (x)=(U_{0} (x), {w}_{j} (x))\) (\(j=1,2,\ldots,m\)) are coefficients in the approximate expansion \(\sum_{j=1}^{m} {U_{0j} w_{j} (x)} \) of function \(U_{0} (x)\).
Let us prove that (7.2) has solution about the unknown function \(\beta _{jm} (t)\). By using the characteristic of normalized eigenfunction
from (3.2) we get
That is,
And as to \(w_{2j} \), we have a similar conclusion
We know that (7.7) and (7.6) are the first order ordinary equations of unknown functions \(\beta _{jm} \), \(j=1,2,\ldots,m\). If (7.7) and (7.6) have common solution, it must satisfy that
It is locally Lipschitz continuous in H.
We set \(\theta (t)=(\beta _{1m} (t),\beta _{2m} (t),\ldots,\beta _{mm} (t))\), \(\tilde{\theta }(t)=(\tilde{\beta }_{1m} (t),\tilde{\beta }_{2m} (t),\ldots,\tilde{\beta }_{mm} (t))\), and Lipschitz continuous functions \(h(\theta (t))\) are considered to satisfy
Then
and
Because of
and
If \(\int _{\Omega }{g(\vert U_{m} \vert ^{2})\,dx}\le M\), \(\{w_{j} (x)\}_{j=1}^{\infty }\in V\), because of \(w_{1j},w_{1i},w_{2j},w_{2i} \in V\), and \(V\to H\) is compact, \(\Vert w_{ij} \Vert _{V}^{2} \) is bounded and \(\Vert w_{ij} \Vert _{H}^{2} \) also is bounded, then
and
leads to
We finally get \(h(\theta (t))\) is a Lipschitz continuous function and know that the ordinary differential equations (7.2) have common solutions for the unknown functions \(\beta _{jm} (t)\), \(j=1,2,\ldots,m\).
Theorem 7.1
For the given functions F, \(U_{0}\),
If \(g(s)\ge 0\), \(G(s)=\int _{0}^{s}g(s)\,ds\le g(s)s\) and \(\vert g'(s) \vert \le c_{0}s\) (\(s\ge 0\)), where \(c>0\), then there exists a unique solution \(U(x,t)\) for problem (1.10)–(1.11), and it satisfies the condition
Proof
Under the condition above in this section, we continue to get the existence of the solution of problem (1.10)–(1.11). Firstly, we multiply (7.2) by \({\beta }_{jm} (t)\) and make sum about j,
It is similar to the process of (6.2), (6.4), from (6.5), we obtain
because of \(F\in H(\Omega )\), \(\Vert F\Vert _{H}^{2} \le M_{1} \), and \(U_{0m} \in H(\Omega )\cap V(\Omega )\). For condition (7.3), by using Gronwall’s inequality, we have a conclusion similar to (6.1)
then
Therefore \(U_{m} (t)\) is bounded in H.
Secondly, we choose \({w}'_{j} \) instead of \(w_{j} \) in (7.2), then multiply (7.2) by \(\overline{\beta }_{jm} (t)\), to make sum about j:
and the real part of the equation above is
Return to see the real part of (7.9),
where \(G(\vert U_{m} \vert ^{2})=\int _{0}^{\vert U_{m} \vert ^{2}}g(s)\,ds\). Combining (7.10) with (7.11), we finally get
Introducing a functional equation about (7.12)
and rewriting (7.12) as
we have
Finally, we can get
and
Because of \(\beta \Vert U_{m} \Vert _{H}^{2} \ge 0\), \(\int _{\Omega }{G(\vert U_{m} \vert ^{2})\,dx} \ge 0\), we know that \(\Vert (-\Delta )^{\frac{s}{2}} U_{m} \Vert _{H}^{2} =\Vert U_{m} \Vert _{V}^{2} \), and \(U_{m} (t)\) is bounded in V.
Hence from the sequence \(\{U_{m} (x,t)\}\) of approximate solutions, we can select a subsequence \(\{U_{\mu }(x,t)\}\) and have a function \(U(x,t)\in L^{\infty }(0,T;H)\) such that
And
From
hence the function \(U(x,t)\) satisfies equation (1.11) everywhere and the boundary initial conditions (1.10). So the existence of solution for problem (1.10)–(1.11) has been proved. □
8 The uniqueness of solution
Let \(U_{1} \), \(U_{2} \) be solutions of (1.11) satisfying the conditions of Theorem 7.1. We have \(W=U_{1} -U_{2} \) and \(W(0)=0\), we have
Then we obtain
Making a scalar product with (8.1) by vector W over Ω, then
Choose the imaginary part of (8.2)
Set \(\gamma =\min (r,\sigma )\),
Firstly we shall prove
where \(0\le \theta \le 1\). Since \(\Omega \subset R^{2}\), \(H_{0}^{1} (\Omega )\) is embedding to \(L^{\infty }(\Omega )\), and
by using Hölder’s inequality of the form
we get the deduce of (8.3)
From Sect. 6, we know that \(\Vert U_{1} \Vert _{V}^{2} +\Vert U_{2} \Vert _{V}^{2} \) is bounded. Rewrite (8.4) as follows:
Because of \(W(0)=0\), we finally get \(W=0\).
9 The global attractor
Furthermore, for every \(t\ge 0\), the mapping
is continuous and bounded in H and V. It follows from the uniqueness of solution (1.10)–(1.11) that the family \(\{S(t)\}_{t\ge 0} \) forms a semi-group:
Another important property is that the semi-group \(S(t)\) is compact on H for \(t>0\). That is to say the image of \(S(t)\) of any bounded set in H is relatively compact in H. In order to prove the existence of global attractors of problem (1.10)–(1.11), we need the following result.
9.1 Absorbing ball in H
From Sect. 7,
and
We know that \(B_{0} =B_{H} (0,\rho _{0} )\) is the absorbing set in H for the semi-group \(S(t)\), and
We infer from (9.2) that the balls \(B_{0} =B_{H} (0,\rho _{0} )\) of H with \(\rho \ge \rho _{0} \) are positive invariants for the semigroup \(S(t)\), and these balls are absorbing for any \(\rho >\rho _{0} \). We choose \({\rho }'_{0} >\rho _{0} \) and denote by \(B_{0} \) the ball \(B_{H} (0,{\rho }'_{0} )\). And the set B bounded in H is included in a ball \(B(0,R)\) of H. It is easy to deduce from (9.2) that \(S(t)B\subset B_{0} \) for \(t\ge t_{0} (B,{\rho }'_{0} )\), where
We infer from (6.5) that integration in t, \(\tau >0\) yields
With the use of (9.3) we conclude that
In Sect. 7, we get the inequality
and
Integrating (9.7) between t and \(t+\tau \)
we obtain
9.2 Absorbing ball in V
We continue and show the existence of an absorbing set in V and the uniform compactness of \(S(t)\). For that purpose, we know that
If \(F\in H\cap V\), we have
then
and \(\limsup_{t\to \infty } \alpha \Vert (-\Delta )^{\frac{s}{2}}U \Vert _{H}^{2} \le \rho _{1}^{2} \), \(\rho _{1} =C_{\infty }\).
We recall that \((\Vert U \Vert ^{2}+\Vert (-\Delta )^{\frac{s}{2}} U \Vert ^{2})^{1 / 2}\) is the norm on V (= the \(H^{1}(\Omega )\) norm). Combining (9.5), we obtain the existence of an absorbing set in V for \(S(t)\) and uniform compactness property:
The operator \(S(t)\) is uniformly compact for t large. By this we mean that for every bounded set B there exists \(t_{0} \), which may depend on B, such that
is relatively compact in H.
Indeed, if B is a bounded set of V, then it is also a bounded set of H,
and then with (9.3)
where \(B_{1} \) is the ball of V centered at 0 of radius \(\rho _{1} >\rho _{0} \).
The ball of V, \(B_{1} =B_{V} (0,\rho _{1} )\) centered at 0 of radius \(\rho _{1} \) is absorbing in V for the semi-group \(S(t)\).
If \(U_{0} \in B\), where B is only bounded in H, the above analysis still applies and
Since \(B_{1} \) is bounded in V and the injection of V in H is compact, we conclude that \(\bigcup_{t\ge t_{0} +\tau } {S(t)B} \) is relatively compact in H.
Definition 9.1
The ω-limit set K of B
where the closure is taken in H.
Therefore, from the a priori estimates, using Theorem I.1.1 in [32], the ω-limit set of B, \(\mathrm{K}=\omega (B)\), is a global attractor. It is an infinite-dimensional dynamic system associated with this evolution equation (1.11) supplemented by the Dirichlet boundary condition. K attracts the bounded sets of H. This dynamic system possesses an attractor K which is compact in H.
