| Abstract: | The aim of this paper is to study the long-term behavior of strongly damped wave equations with a Lyapunov function. Using the theory established by estimating the Z2 index of some sets and the idea of invariant sets of semi-flow,the properties of the global attractor for strongly damped wave equation are discussed. The existence of multiple equilibrium points in global attractor for strongly damped wave equations with critical growth of nonlinearity is obtained. And under some additional condition, the infinite dimension of the attractor is proven. |
