Résumé

We study the long time behavior of solutions to the nonlocal quasilinear dissipative wave equation

$ u_{tt}-\phi (x)\|\nabla u(t)\|^{2}\Delta u+\delta u_{t}+|u|^{a}u=0, $

in $\mathbb{R}^N, t \geq 0$, with initial conditions $ u(x,0) = u_0 (x)$ and $u_t(x,0) = u_1(x)$. We consider the case $N \geq 3, \delta> 0$, and $(\phi (x))^{-1}$ a positive function in $L^{N/2}(\mathbb{R}^N)\cap L^{\infty}(\mathbb{R}^N )$. The existence of a global attractor is proved in the strong topology of the space $\mathcal{D}^{1,2}(\mathbb{R}^N) \times L^{2}_{g}(\mathbb{R}^N)$.
