Abstract

We consider asymptotically autonomous semilinear parabolic equations u_t + Au = f(t,u). Suppose that f(t,.)f±f(t,.)\to f^\pm as t±t\to\pm\infty, where the semiflows induced by \label{eq:140602-1511} u_t + Au = f^\pm(u) \tag{*} are gradient-like. Under certain assumptions, it is shown that generically with respect to a perturbation gg with g(t)0g(t)\to 0 as t|t|\to\infty, every solution of u_t + Au = f(t,u) + g(t) is a connection between equilibria e±e^\pm of \eqref{eq:140602-1511} with m(e)m(e+)m(e^-)\geq m(e^+). Moreover, if the Morse indices satisfy m(e)=m(e+)m(e^-) = m(e^+), then uu is isolated by linearization.
