Stabilization of positive solutions for analytic gradient-like systems (Q1864075)

This paper is devoted to the long-time dynamical properties of an arbitrary positive solution \(u(t)\), \(t\geq 0\), to autonomous gradient-like systems. The novelty and main goal of the author is to considerably weaken the \(C^1\) assumption on the boundary behaviour of nonlinearity \(f(x,u)\). This means that the author no longer needs \(\frac{\partial f}{\partial u}(x,u)\) to be continuous in \(\overline\Omega\times\mathbb{R}\), it may be even unbounded in \(\Omega\times(0,\infty)\). Here \(\Omega\) is the underlying domain. The author shows that a suitable weight can eliminate the underivable influence of singular boundary behaviour of nonlinearities. A key tool for the analysis here is the Lojasiewicz-Simon type inequality. The author provides also applications that include the nonlinear heat and porous medium equations.
