Global compact attractors and their tripartition under persistence (ENGLISH)
[ 講演概要 ]
The study of the dynamics of a semiflow (inertial manifolds, persistence) is largely facilitated if there is a global compact attractor, i.e. a compact invariant subset which attracts a sufficiently broad class of subsets of the state space.
Unfortunately, there in no uniform use of the concept of a global compact attractor in the literature: it has been used for a compact attractor of points, compact attractor of neighborhoods of compact sets, and compact attractor of bounded sets.
Persistence theory allows to discuss the long-term survival of populations in a dynamical systems framework. There is a two-way interaction between persistence and global compact attractors. On the one hand, the existence of a compact attractor of points helps to establish the persistence of the semiflow. On the other hand, the global attractor of a uniformly persistent semiflow divides into three invariant parts: an extinction attractor, a persistence attractor, and a set of orbits that connect the extinction to the persistence attractor. The persistence attractor has further interesting properties like local stability and connectedness. Examples are presented where the persistence attractor can be used to prove the global stability of the persistence equilibrium. (joint work with Hal L. Smith)
