Abstract

We consider the existence of global attractor for the inhomogeneous reaction-diffusion equation ut - ∆u - V(x)u + |u|p-2 u = g, in ℝn x ℝ+, u(0) = u0 ∈ L2(ℝn) ∩ Lp(ℝn), where p > 2n/n-2 is supercritical and V(x) satisfies suitable assumptions. Since -∆ is not positive definite in H1(ℝn), the Gronwall inequality can not be derived and the corresponding semigroup does not possess bounded absorbing sets in L2(ℝn). Thus, by a special method, we prove that the equation has a global attractor in Lp(ℝn), which attracts any bounded subset in L2(ℝn) ∩ Lp(ℝn).
