Conjecture on the omega-limit set for an extended dissipative system
Let solve the parabolic equation with initial data satisfying
where is strictly increasing, , and for all . Let be the topology of uniform convergence on compact subsets of , and let be the eternal solution of characterized by
with as . Write . Omega-limit set conjecture. The omega-limit set of the trajectory in is
The conjecture describes the coarsening dynamics generated by infinitely many widely separated kink pairs: successive annihilations are expected to produce not only the two constant equilibria but also the eternal heteroclinic trajectories and their negatives as local omega-limits. The supplied text gives the heuristic motivation but no resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
