Global attractors for the semilinear beam equation with localized viscosity

Abstract

In this paper, we deal with the semilinear beam equation with localized viscosity. Under mild conditions on the viscous coefficient, we establish the well-posedness and boundedness of the weak solutions. Then we prove that the semigroup generated by this problem has a smooth global attractor in H 3 (0, 1) × H 1 0 (0, 1) .
