For a certain large class of these equations, we show that some of the solutions which do not blow up actually tend to equilibria. The characterizing property of such solutions is a finite energy constraint, which comes about from the fact that this class of equations can be written as the $L^2$ gradient of a certain functional.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2007-09-17T19:39:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35B40", "35K55" ], "keywords": [ "semilinear parabolic equation", "connecting solutions", "classification", "finite energy constraint", "finite time" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007arXiv0709.2705R" } } }
