Attractors for noncompact nonautonomous systems via energy equations. (English) Zbl 1060.35023

The authors present an extension to the nonautonomous case of the energy equation for proving the existence of attractors for noncompact systems. To this end they generalize asymptotic compactness property and apply the extended theory to a nonautonomous Navier-Stokes system on an infinite channel past an obstacle, with time-dependent forcing and boundary conditions, and to a nonautonomous, weakly damped, forced Korteweg-de Vries equation on the real line.
