Abstract

We consider a class of singularly perturbed parabolic problems in case of exchange of stabilities, that is, the corresponding degenerate equation has two intersecting roots. By means of the technique of asymptotic lower and upper solutions we prove that the considered initial-boundary value problem has a unique solution exhibiting the phenomenon of delayed exchange of stabilities. Thus, the problem under consideration has a canard solution.
