Abstract

In this talk we outline that for every 1<p2 and for every continuous function f:[0,1]×, which is Lipschitz continuous in the second variable, uniformly with respect to the first one, each bounded solution of the one-dimensional heat equation

ut-(|ux|p-2ux)x+f(x,u)=0in(0,1)×(0,+)

with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions converges as t+ to a stationary solution. The proof follows an idea of Matano which is based on a comparison principle. Thus, a key step is to prove a comparison principle on non-cylindrical open sets.
