Global Attractor for Weakly Damped Forced KdV Equation in Low Regularity on T

Abstract

In this paper we consider the long time behavior of the weakly damped, forced Korteweg-de Vries equation in the Sololev spaces of the negative indices in the periodic case. We prove that the solutions are uniformly bounded in $\dot{H}^s(\T)$ for $s>-\frac{1}{2}$. Moreover, we show that the solution-map possesses a global attractor in $\dot{H}^s(\T)$ for $s>-\frac{1}{2}$, which is a compact set in $H^{s+3}(\T)$.
