Abstract

A new method of obtaining lower bounds for the attractor's dimension is suggested which involves analysis of homoclinic bifurcations. The method is applied for obtaining sharp estimates of the attractor's dimension for a class of abstract damped wave equations which are beyond the reach of the classical methods.
