Semistable extremal ground states for nonlinear evolution equations in unbounded domains (Q2473916)

The authors deal with the following model problem \[ \begin{aligned} u_t=\Delta u+ f(x,u)&\quad\text{in }\Omega,\\ u= 0 &\quad\text{on }\partial\Omega,\\ u(x,0)= u_0(x) &\quad\text{in }\Omega, \end{aligned} \] where \(\Omega\) is an unbounded domain in \(\mathbb{R}^N\). They present extremal semistable ground states equilibria, which bound asymptotically the global dynamics. The authors give conditions under which there exists a unique positive equilibria, which must be then a globally stable ground state for positive solution. The particularly important case of logistic nonlinearities are considered as well to illustrate the scope of results.
