A Note on the Domain of Attraction for the Stationary Solution to a Singularly Perturbed Parabolic Equation by Mikhail A. Terentyev

“…Before, the existence of a stable stationary solution to  this  problem  was proved  and  the  domain  of attraction of this  solution  was investigated — due  to exchange  of stabilities, the  stationary solution  approaches  the  non-smooth  (but  continuous) composite root  of the  degenerate equation  as the  perturbation parameter gets smaller,  and  its domain  of attraction contains  all initial  functions  situated strictly  on one side of the other  non-smooth  (but  continuous) composite  root of the degenerate equation.   …”
