Abstract

A reaction-diffusion equation on a family of three dimensional thin domains, collapsing onto a two dimensional subspace, is considered. In \cite{\rfa pr..} it was proved that, as the thickness of the domains tends to zero, the solutions of the equations converge in a strong sense to the solutions of an abstract semilinear parabolic equation living in a closed subspace of H1H^1. Also, existence and upper semicontinuity of the attractors was proved. In this work, for a specific class of domains, the limit problem is completely characterized as a system of two-dimensional reaction-diffusion equations, coupled by mean of compatibility and balance boundary conditions.
