We prove the existence of a random global attractor for the multivalued random dynamical system associated to a nonlinear multivalued parabolic equation with a stochastic term of amplitude of the order of ε. The equationwas initially suggested by North and Cahalan (following a previous deterministicmodel proposed by M.I. Budyko), for the modeling of some non-deterministic variability (as, for i...

We consider the quasilinear Kirchhoff's problem$$ u_{tt}-phi (x)||nabla u(t)||^{2}Delta u+f(u)=0 ,;; x in {mathcal{R}}^{N}, ;; t geq 0,$$with the initial conditions  $ u(x,0) = u_0 (x)$  and $u_t(x,0) = u_1 (x)$, in the case where $N geq 3, ;  f(u)=|u|^{a}u$ and $(phi (x))^{-1} in L^{N/2}({mathcal{R}}^{N})cap L^{infty}({mathcal{R}}^{N} )$ is a positive function. The purpose of our work is to ...

Let Λ be a complete metric space, and let {Sλ(·) : λ ∈ Λ} be a parametrised family of semigroups with global attractors Aλ. We assume that there exists a fixed bounded set D such that Aλ ⊂ D for every λ ∈ Λ. By viewing the attractors as the limit as t → ∞ of the sets Sλ(t)D, we give simple proofs of the equivalence of ‘equi-attraction’ to continuity (when this convergence is uniform in λ) and s...

A Potts associative memory network has been proposed as a simplified model of macroscopic cortical dynamics, in which each Potts unit stands for a patch of cortex, which can be activated in one of S local attractor states. The internal neuronal dynamics of the patch is not described by the model, rather it is subsumed into an effective description in terms of graded Potts units, with adaptation...
