A striking correspondence between the dynamics generated by the vector fields and by the scalar parabolic equations
Confluentes Mathematici, Tome 3 (2011) no. 3, pp. 471-493.

The purpose of this paper is to enhance a correspondence between the dynamics of the differential equations ẏ(t) = g(y(t)) on ℝd and those of the parabolic equations u˙=Δu+f(x,u,u) on a bounded domain Ω. We give details on the similarities of these dynamics in the cases d = 1, d = 2 and d ≥ 3 and in the corresponding cases Ω = (0, 1), Ω = 𝕋1 and dim(Ω) ≥ 2 respectively. In addition to the beauty of such a correspondence, this could serve as a guideline for future research on the dynamics of parabolic equations.
