Under smoothness and growth conditions which ensure the local classical well-posedness of the problem, they indicate some sign conditions under which the solutions are globally defined in time, and somewhat more strong dissipativeness conditions under which they possess a global attractor that captures the asymptotic dynamics of the system. After that the authors study the dependence of the attractors on the diffusion. For a(x)=a ε (x) they show their upper semicontinuity on ε . Throughout the paper they also pay special attention to the dependence of the estimates obtained on the domain Ω and show that in certain instances the L ∞ bounds on the attractors do not depend on the shape of Ω but rather on |Ω| . %~
