Asymptotically stable stationary solutions of the reaction-diffusion-advection equation with discontinuous reaction and advection terms (Q2185384)

This paper deals with the stationary boundary problem: \[ \epsilon\frac{d^2u}{dx^2}=A(u,x)\frac{du}{dx}+f(u,x),\ x\in (-1,1),\ u(-1)=u^-,\ u(1)=u^+,\tag{1} \] when the advection and reaction terms have a discontinuity of the first type at an interior point \(x_o\in ]-1,1[\). Several strong assumptions are proposed. Then, the existence of a solution \(u_{\epsilon}\) to problem (1) is proved as \(\epsilon\) is small enough, and an uniform asymptotic approximation of \(u_{\epsilon}\), with an accuracy of order \(O(\epsilon^3)\), is constructed. Then, it is proved that, given \(\epsilon\) small enough, \(u_{\epsilon}\) is locally unique, and is asymptotically Lyapunov stable, with a suitable stability domain.
