Smooth extensions for inertial manifolds of semilinear parabolic equations

Anna Kostianko and Sergey Zelik

Vol. 17 (2024), No. 2, 499–533
Abstract

The paper is devoted to a comprehensive study of smoothness of inertial manifolds (IMs) for abstract semilinear parabolic problems. It is well known that in general we cannot expect more than C1,𝜀-regularity for such manifolds (for some positive, but small 𝜀). Nevertheless, as shown in the paper, under natural assumptions, the obstacles to the existence of a Cn-smooth inertial manifold (where n is any given number) can be removed by increasing the dimension and by modifying properly the nonlinearity outside of the global attractor (or even outside the C1,𝜀-smooth IM of a minimal dimension). The proof is strongly based on the Whitney extension theorem.
