Infinite-dimensional attractors for parabolic equations with p-Laplacian in heterogeneous medium
Annales de l'I.H.P. Analyse non linéaire, Volume 28 (2011) no. 4, p. 565-582

In this paper we give a detailed study of the global attractors for parabolic equations governed by the p-Laplacian in a heterogeneous medium. Not only the existence but also the infinite dimensionality of the global attractors is presented by showing that their ε-Kolmogorov entropy behaves as a polynomial of the variable $1/ϵ$ as ε tends to zero, which is not observed for non-degenerate parabolic equations. The upper and lower bounds for the Kolmogorov ε-entropy of infinite-dimensional attractors are also obtained.
