Abstract
The differential rotation of anti-solar type detected by observations for several stars may result from a fast meridional flow. The sufficiently intensive meridional circulation may be caused by large-scale thermal inhomogeneities or, perhaps, by tidal forcing from a companion star. First results of simulations of the anti-solar rotation of a giant star with magnetically induced thermal inhomogeneities are presented. Perspectives for observational check of the theory are discussed.
