Abstract :
This study investigates the stability of non-linear parabolic systems. Several stability conditions based on separable Lyapunov functions are provided. The new results are applied to switched non-linear parabolic systems with all stable modes or with unstable modes. An example of heat propagation control of semiconductor power chips is taken to illustrate the proposed methods.
