Abstract: This note is concerned with the damped wave equation ε2∂ttu+∂tu−Δu+f(u)=g depending on a small parameter ε and with the corresponding parabolic equation ∂tu−Δu+f(u)=g obtained in the singular limit ε→0. The existence of a family ℳε of exponential attractors which is Hölder continuous with respect to ε is proved.
