Abstract

In this work we prove the existence of a compact global attractor for the flow of the equation

$$\frac{\partial m(r,t)}{\partial t}=-m(r,t)+ J*(f\circ m)(r,t)+ h, \,\,\, h, > 0,$$

in L 2(S 1). We also give uniform estimates on the size of the attractor and show that the family of attractors \({\{{\mathcal A}_{J}\}}\) is upper semicontinuous at J 0.
