Title: Long-time dynamics and upper-semicontinuity of attractors for a porous-elastic system with nonlinear localized damping Authors: Mauro L. Santos (Federal Univ. of Para, Belem, PA, Brazil) Mirelson M. Freitas (Univ. of Brasilia, Brazil) Ronal Q. Caljaro (Federal Univ. of Para, Belem, PA, Brazil) Abstract: In this article we consider a one-dimensional porous-elastic system with nonlinear localized damping acting in an arbitrarily small region of the interval under consideration. We prove the existence of a smooth global attractor with finite fractal dimension and the existence of exponential attractors via quasi-stability theory recently proposed by Chueshov and Lasiecka. We also prove the continuity of the attractors with respect to two parameters in a residual dense set. Finally, we prove that the family of global attractors is upper-semicontinuous with respect to small perturbations of external forces. These aspects were not previously considered for porous-elastic system with localized damping. Submitted April 12, 2024. Published February 03, 2025.
