Stable Equilibria with Variable Diffusion.
Abstract
For a scalar nonlinear parabolic equation in one space dimension with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions, criteria are given on the diffusion coefficient to ensure that the stable equilibrium solutions are constant functions regardless of the nonlinearities. The Dirichlet problem is also discussed. (Author)
