Abstract

In this note, we study questions of multiplicity and stability of stationary solutions of the nonlocal reaction-diffusion equation ut = uxx+?f{hook}(u) a + sh{phonetic} 0 1f{hook}(u)dx2 which arises in the theory of electrical devices with temperature-dependent resistivity and where f(u), which is taken to be a strickly positive function, represents the temperature-dependent resistivity. We also prove that solutions exist for all positive time and must enter a bounded region as t goes to infinity. © 1994.
