Abstract: We study equilibrium solutions for the problem ut=epsilon2uxxu3+lambdaucos(t),ux(0,t)=ux(L,t)=0. Using a shooting method we find solutions for all non-zero epsilon. For small epsilon we add to the solutions found by previous authors, especially Angennent, Mallet-Paret and Peletier, and Hale and Sakamoto, and also give new elementary ode proofs of their results. Among the new results is the existence of internal layer-type solutions. Considering the ode satisfied by equilibria, but on an infinite interval, we obtain chaos results for lambdageqlambda0=frac322/3 and 0<epsilonleq1/4. We also consider the problem of bifurcation of solutions as lambda increases from 0.
