The Exponential Attractor for a Class of Kirchhoff-Type Equations with Strongly Damped Terms and Source Terms

This paper studies the exponential attractor for a class of the Kirchhoff-type equations with strongly damped terms and source terms. The exponential attractor is also called the inertial fractal set, which is an intermediate step between global attractors and inertial manifolds. Obtaining a set that attracts all the trajectories of the dynamical system at an exponential rate by the methods of Eden A. Under appropriate assumptions, we firstly construct an invariantly compact set. Secondly, showing the solution semigroups of the Kirchhoff-type equations is squeezing and Lipschitz continuous. Finally, the finite fractal dimension of the exponential attractor is obtained.
