A Lyapunov Function for Fully Nonlinear Parabolic Equations in One Spatial Variable
Phillipo Lappicy (Universidade de São Paulo)
Abstract:
Lyapunov functions are used to prove stability of equilibria, or to indicate a gradient-like structure of a dynamical system. Zelenyak (1968) and Matano (1988) constructed a Lyapunov function for quasilinear parabolic equations. We modify Matano's method to construct a Lyapunov function for fully nonlinear parabolic equations under Dirichlet and mixed nonlinear boundary conditions of Robin type.
