We show that a suitable adaptation of the so-called method of trajectories can be used to construct an exponential attractor for a very general class of nonlinear reaction-diffusion systems with a bounded delay.
In particular, we assume that the dependence on the past history is controlled via convolution with a possibly singular measure. Assuming a priori that the solutions are bounded, a simple proof of the existence of an exponential attractor is given under very little regularity requirements.
