Abstract
Abstract Reaction–diffusion equations are studied on bounded, time-periodic domains with zero Dirichlet boundary conditions. The long-time behaviour is shown to depend on the principal periodic eigenvalue of a transformed periodic-parabolic problem. We prove upper and lower bounds on this eigenvalue under a range of different assumptions on the domain, and apply them to examples. The principal eigenvalue is considered as a function of the frequency, and results are given regarding its behaviour in the small and large frequency limits. A monotonicity property with respect to frequency is also proven. A reaction–diffusion problem with a class of monostable nonlinearity is then studied on a periodic domain, and we prove convergence to either zero or a unique positive periodic solution.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
