It is well known that for many semilinear parabolic equations there is a global attractor which has a cell complex structure with finite dimensional cells. Additionally, many semilinear parabolic equations have equilibria with finite dimensional unstable manifolds. In this article, these results are unified to show that for a specific parabolic equation on an unbounded domain, the space of hete...

We study the large time behavior of solutions for the semilinear parabolic equation ∆u+V up−ut = 0. Under a general and natural condition on V = V (x) and the initial value u0, we show that global positive solutions of the parabolic equation converge pointwise to positive solutions of the corresponding elliptic equation. As a corollary of this, we recapture the global existence results on semil...

This paper presents a method of numerical verification for existence of a global-in-time solution to a class of semilinear parabolic equations. Such a method is based on two main theorems in this paper. One theorem gives a sufficient condition for proving existence of a solution to the semilinear parabolic equations with the initial point t = t′ ≥ 0. If the sufficient condition does not hold, t...

Abstract. Eternal solutions of parabolic equations (those which are defined for all time) are typically rather rare. For example, the heat equation has exactly one eternal solution – the trivial solution. While solutions to the heat equation exist for all forward time, they cannot be extended backwards in time. Nonlinearities exasperate the situation somewhat, in that solutions may form singula...

The inverse problem of identifying an unknown source control param- eter in a semilinear parabolic equation under an integral overdetermina- tion condition is considered. The series pattern solution of the proposed problem is obtained by using the weighted homotopy analysis method (WHAM). A description of the method for solving the problem and nding the unknown parameter is derived. Finally, tw...

Efficient numerical algorithms are proposed for a class of forward-backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDEs) connected with semilinear parabolic partial differential equations. As in [J. Douglas, Jr., J. Ma, and P. Protter, Ann. Appl. Probab., 6 (1996), pp. 940–968], the algorithms are based on the known four-step scheme for solving FBSDEs. The corresponding semilinear parabolic equat...

The aim of this paper is to prove the existence of a global attractor for a semilinear degenerate parabolic equation involving the Grushin operator.

Abstract — A semilinear second-order singularly perturbed parabolic equation in one space dimension is considered. For this equation, we give computable a posteriori error estimates in the maximum norm for a difference scheme that uses Backward-Euler in time and central differencing in space. Sharp L1-norm bounds for the Green’s function of the parabolic operator and its derivatives are derived...
