A robust family of exponential attractors for a time semi-discretization of the Ginzburg-Landau equation

Abstract

<abstract><p>We consider a time semidiscretization of the Ginzburg-Landau equation by the backward Euler scheme. For each time step $ \tau $, we build an exponential attractor of the dynamical system associated to the scheme. We prove that, as $ \tau $ tends to $ 0 $, this attractor converges for the symmetric Hausdorff distance to an exponential attractor of the dynamical system associated to the Allen-Cahn equation. We also prove that the fractal dimension of the exponential attractor and of the global attractor is bounded by a constant independent of $ \tau $.</p></abstract>
