Abstract

Nonlinear evolution equations including hysteresis functionals are studied. It is the purpose of this paper to investigate the asymptotic stability of the solution as time t → + ∞. In the case when the forcing term of the equation tends to a time-independent function as t → + ∞, we shall show that the solution stabilizes at + ∞ and the system is asymptotically stable (equilibrium stability). In the case when the forcing term is periodic in time, we shall show that there is at least one periodic solution and that in some restricted cases the periodic solution is unique.
