Abstract

In this paper we study the periodic-Neumann boundary value problem for a class of nonlinear parabolic equations. We prove a new uniqueness result and study the structure of the set of solutions when there exist more than one solution. The ideas are applied to a Neumann problem for an elliptic equation.
