Abstract
Consider the initial and boundary value problem
where f and g are in general nonlinear functions on ℝ+, satisfying certain structure conditions. We are interested in describing the structure of the (semi)-dynamical system governed by (1)–(2), namely, what are the equilibrium states, what is the behavior of solutions close to a given equilibrium state, and what else can be said concerning the global description of the set of all possible solutions of (1)–(2).
