Abstract

Using the theory of uniform global attractors for multi-valued semiprocesses, we prove the existence of attractors for quasilinear parabolic equations related to Caffarelli-Kohn- Nirenberg inequalities, in which the conditions imposed on the nonlinearity provide the global existence of weak solutions but not uniqueness, in both autonomous and non-autonomous cases.
