Abstract

In this paper we consider the nonlocal evolution equation Graphic We show that this equation defines a continuous flow in both the space C-b(R-N) of bounded continuous functions and the space C-rho(R-N) of continuous functions u such that u /s=b/ rho is bounded, where rho is a convenient ``weight function{''}. We show the existence of an absorbing ball for the flow in C-b(R-N) and the existence of a global compact attractor for the flow in C-rho(R-N), under additional conditions on the nonlinearity. We then exhibit a continuous Lyapunov function which is well defined in the whole phase space and continuous in the C-rho(R-N) topology, allowing the characterization of the attractor as the unstable set of the equilibrium point set. We also illustrate our result with a concrete example. (AU)
