Gromov-Hausdorff stability of global attractors of damped wave equations under perturbations of the domain

TL;DR
This work addresses how global attractors for a damped wave equation respond to perturbations of the domain, employing the Gromov-Hausdorff framework to formalize stability. By parameterizing domain perturbations with $d_{C^2}(h,1_\\Omega)=\delta$ and transporting solutions via coordinate maps, the authors establish residual continuity of the attractor map $\\mathcal{G}(h)=\\mathcal{A}_{\\delta}$ and residual Gromov-Hausdorff stability for the induced dynamical systems on the attractors. The core contributions include key lemmas showing convergence of perturbed evolutions under diffeomorphisms and a two-step analysis proving equicontinuity and small-time stability, which together yield robust attractor stability under geometric perturbations. The results advance understanding of long-time behavior for hyperbolic PDEs on varying domains and have implications for the reliability of attractor-based descriptions in geometrically perturbed settings.
Abstract
In this paper, we will make use of the Gromov-Hausdorff distance between compact metric spaces to establish the continuous dependence and the Gromov-Hausdorff stability of global attractors for damped wave equations under perturbations of the domain.
