On the number and Indices of equilibria in a space-dependent bistable equation

We study a singular perturbation problem of a piecewise autonomous bistable equation. We give sufficient conditions both for the boundedness and the unboundedness of the number and Morse index of its equilibrium solutions as the perturbation parameter approaches zero. For the bounded case, we provid...

Sumario:We study a singular perturbation problem of a piecewise autonomous bistable equation. We give sufficient conditions both for the boundedness and the unboundedness of the number and Morse index of its equilibrium solutions as the perturbation parameter approaches zero. For the bounded case, we provide the number of equilibria as a function of the number of discontinuities of the reaction term.
