The attractor of the scalar reaction diffusion equation is a smooth graph (Q5896537)

The one-dimensional scalar reaction diffusion equation with Dirichlet boundary condition is considered. Under the assumptions on hyperbolicity of equilibria and dissipativity it is proved that the maximal compact attractor is the graph of a \(C^ 1\)-function. This function is defined on a subset of the state space that lies in a subspace with the dimension equal to the maximal Morse index of the equilibria.
