Abstract

For n > 1, we consider a reaction-diffusion equationut = Δu + α(y)∇ · G(u) + f(u), (0.2)in an unbounded cylinder Ω := R×D, where D ⊂ Rn−1 is a smooth bounded domain, with a presence of a convection term, under both Neumann and Dirichlet boundary conditions on ∂Ω. For both types of boundary condit...
