Abstract

We prove the hair-trigger effect for a class of nonlocal nonlinear evolution equations on R^d which have only two constant stationary solutions, 0 and \theta>0. The effect consists in that the solution with an initial condition non identical to zero converges (when time goes to \infty) to \t...

Abstract: We prove the hair-trigger effect for a class of nonlocal nonlinear evolution equations on R^d which have only two constant stationary solutions, 0 and \theta>0. The effect consists in that the solution with an initial condition non identical to zero converges (when time goes to \infty) to \theta locally uniformly in R^d. We find also sufficient conditions for existence, uniqueness and comparison principle in the considered equations.
