An explicit Lyapunov function for reflection symmetric parabolic partial differential equations on the circle

Dynamical Systems 2018-02-28 v1

Abstract

We construct an explicit Lyapunov function for scalar parabolic reaction-advection-diffusion equations under periodic boundary conditions. We assume the nonlinearity is even in the advection term. We follow a method originally suggested by Matano and Zelenyak for, and limited to, separated boundary conditions.
