This book is devoted to background material and recently developed
mathematical methods in the study of infinite-dimensional dissipative
systems. The theory of such systems is motivated by the long-term goal
to establish rigorous mathematical models for turbulent and chaotic
phenomena. The aim here is to offer general methods and abstract results
pertaining to fundamental dynamical systems properties related to
dissipative long-time behavior. The book systematically presents,
develops and uses the quasi-stability method while substantially
extending it by including for consideration new classes of models and
PDE systems arising in Continuum Mechanics. The book can be used as a
textbook in dissipative dynamics at the graduate level.
