In this paper, we are concerned with the existence of global attractor and Hausdorff and Fractal dimensions estimation for the following nonlinear Higher-order Kirchhoff-type equations:

where is an integer constant, and is a positive constant. Moreover, is a bounded domain in with the smooth boundary and v is the unit outward normal on. is a nonlinear function specified later.

Recently, Marina Ghisi and Massimo Gobbino [1] studied spectral gap global solutions for degenerate Kirchhoff equations. Given a continuous function, they consider the Cauchy problem:

where is an open set and and denote the gradient and the Laplacian of u with respect to the space variables. They prove that for such initial data there exist two pairs of initial data for which the solution is global, and such that

Yang Zhijian, Ding Pengyan and Lei Li [2] studied Longtime dynamics of the Kirchhoff equations with fractional damping and supercritical nonlinearity:

and the nonlinearity and external force term g will be specified. The main results are focused on the relationships among the growth exponent p of the nonlinearity and well-posedness. They show that (i) even if p is up to the supercritical range,

that is, , the well-posedness and the longtime behavior of the so-

lutions of the equation are of the characters of the parabolic equation; (ii) when

and possesses a weak global attractor.

Yang Zhijian, Ding Pengyan and Liu Zhiming [3] studied the Global attractor for the Kirchhoff type equations with strong nonlinear damping and supercritical nonlinearity:

where is a bounded domain in with the smooth boundary, , and are nonlinear functions, and is an external force term. They prove that in strictly positive stiffness factors and supercritical nonlinearity case, there exists a global finite-dimensional attractor in the natural energy space endowed with strong topology.

Li Fucai [4] studied the global existence and blow-up of solutions for a higher-order nonlinear Kirchhoff-type hyperbolic equation:

where, is a bounded domain, with a smooth boundary and a unit outer normal v. Setting Assume that p satisfies the condition:

Their main results are the two theorems:

Theorem 1. Suppose that and condition (1.13) holds. Then for any initial data the solution of (1.10) - (1.12) exists globally.

Theorem 2. Suppose that and condition (1.12) holds. Then for any initial data the solution of (1.10) - (1.12) blows up at finite time in norm provided that.

Li Yan [5] studied The Asymptotic Behavior of Solutions for a Nonlinear Higher Order Kirchhoff Type Equation:

where is an open bounded set of with smooth boundary and the unit normal vector. The function satisfies the following conditions:

where. Furthermore, there exists such that

At last, Li Yan studied the asymptotic behavior of solutions for problem (1.14) - (1.16).

For the most of the scholars represented by Yang Zhijian have studied all kinds of low order Kirchhoff equations and only a small number of scholars have studied the blow-up and asymptotic behavior of solutions for higher-order Kirchhoff equation. So, in this context, we study the high-order Kirchhoff equation is very meaningful. In order to study the high-order nonlinear Kirchhoff equation with the damping term, we borrow some of Li Yan’s [5] partial assumptions (2.1) - (2.3) for the nonlinear term g in the equation. In order to prove that the lemma 1, we have improved the results from assumptions (2.1) - (2.3) such that. Then, under all assumptions, we prove

that the equation has a unique smooth solution

and obtain the solution semigroup has global attractor. Finally, we prove the equation has finite Hausdorff dimensions and Fractal dimensions by reference to the literature [7] .

For more related results we refer the reader to [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] . In order to make these equations more normal, in section 2 and in section 3, some assumptions, notations and the main results are stated. Under these assumptions, we prove the existence and uniqueness of solution, then we obtain the global attractors for the problems (1.1) - (1.3). According to [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] , in section 4, we consider that the global attractor of the above mentioned problems (1.1) - (1.3) has finite Hausdorff dimensions and fractal dimensions.

For convenience, we denote the norm and scalar product in by and;
