GLOBAL INTEGRAL MANIFOLDS WITH EXPONENTIAL TRACKING FOR NONAUTONOMOUSEQUATIONS

Nonautonomous evolution equations of the form du/dt + Au = F(u, t) in a Hilbert space are studied. Here A is a linear operator semibounded b elow and F(u, t) satisfies the global Lipschitz condition with respect to u. The existence of a finite-dimensional integral manifold with ex ponential tracking is proved under the assumption that the spectral ga p is sufficiently wide. The results are applied to a reaction-diffusio n system with time-dependent nonlinear interaction function and an ext ernal force.
