Abstract:
This talk concerns a bistable reaction-diffusion equation with McKean-type nonlinearity on a bounded or unbounded star-shaped metric graph. Among other things, we study the existence and nonexistence, as well as the multiplicity, of equilibrium solutions with monotone profiles. We also investigate how the structure of the set of such equilibrium solutions changes depending on whether the graph is bounded or unbounded.
