Existence and nonexistence of unbounded forward attractor for a class of non-autonomous reaction diffusion equations

Abstract

The goal of this work is to study the forward dynamics of positive solutions for the nonautonomous logistic equation ut − ∆u = λu − b(t)up, with p > 1, b(t) > 0, for all t ∈ R, limt→∞ b(t) = 0. While the pullback asymptotic behaviour for this equation is now well understood, several different possibilities are realised in the forward asymptotic regime.
