Stability Analysis of Random Attractors for Stochastic Modified Swift–Hohenberg Equations with Delays

A new type of random attractors is introduced to study dynamics of a stochastic modified Swift–Hohenberg equation with a general delay. A compact, pullback attracting and dividedly invariant set is called a backward attractor, while the criteria for its existence are established in terms of increasing dissipation and backward asymptotic compactness of a cocycle. If the delay term in the equation is Lipschitz continuous such that the Lipschitz bound and the external force are backward limitable, then we prove the existence of a backward attractor, which further leads to the longtime stability as well as the existence of a pullback attractor, where the pullback attractor and the backward attractor are shown to be random and dividedly random, respectively. Two examples of the delay term are provided to illustrate variable and distributed delays without restricting the upper bound of Lipschitz bounds.
