“…The notion of inertial manifolds mentioned above is translated and extended to more general classes of differential equations like nonautonomous differential equations [GV97,WF97,LL99], retarded parabolic differential equations [TY94,BdMCR98], or differential equations with random or stochastic perturbations [Chu95,BF95,CL99,CS01,DLS01]. Here spectral gap conditions are also utilized, where the special form of this condition may depend on the assumptions on the nonlinearity and, in particular, on the delay.…”
