Abstract

We consider the quasilinear Kirchhoff's problem
$$ u_{tt}-\phi (x)||\nabla u(t)||^{2}\Delta u+f(u)=0 ,\;\; x \in {\mathcal{R}}^{N}, \;\; t \geq 0,$$
with the initial conditions  $ u(x,0) = u_0 (x)$  and $u_t(x,0) = u_1 (x)$, in the case where \ $N \geq 3, \;  f(u)=|u|^{a}u$ \ and $(\phi (x))^{-1} \in L^{N/2}({\mathcal{R}}^{N})\cap L^{\infty}({\mathcal{R}}^{N} )$ is a positive function. The purpose of our work is to study the long time behaviour of the solution of this equation. Here, we prove the existence of a global attractor for this equation in the strong topology of the space ${\cal X}_{1}=:{\cal D}^{1,2}({\mathcal{R}}^{N}) \times L^{2}_{g}({\mathcal{R}}^{N}).$ We succeed to extend some of our earlier results concerning the asymptotic behaviour of the solution of the problem.
