      The authors study the behavior of certain solutions to the Swift-Hohenberg type equation NEWLINE\[NEWLINE u_t=ru-(\bar q^2+\partial_x^2)^2u+f(u) NEWLINE\]NEWLINE on the one-dimensional torus \(\mathbb{T}.\) Results from \(\Gamma\)-covergence are combined with ODE theory to show that solutions corresponding to initial data that is \(L^1\)-close to a jump function \(v,\) remain close to \(v\) for large time. This is achieved by regarding the equation as the \(L^2\)-gradient flow of a second order energy functional and obtaining asymptotic lower bounds on this energy in terms of the number of jumps of the function \(v.\)
