Global existence for one Cauchy problem based on global existence of other two auxiliary Cauchy problems
I have a Cauchy problem for the differential equation
\begin{equation}
y' = f(t, y),
\end{equation}
with initial condition $y(0) = y^0$; here, $y$ and $f$ are two-dimensional vector-functions. The ...

Do the solutions of parabolic PDE problems with different initial conditions converge to each other?
Let's say we have a parabolic PDE system:
$$
(PDE) \hspace{0.5cm} u_t+f(u)_x=\mu \cdot u_{xx},
$$
where $x \in A \subseteq \mathbb{R}$, $t \in [0,T]$ and $u \in \mathbb{R}^n, \: n\geq 2$. And let's ...

Initial value problem with heterogeneous initial values
In all the references I checked the standard initial value problem for an ODE is stated as:
\begin{equation}
\begin{cases}
y'=F(y,t)\\
y(t_0)=y_0
\end{cases}
\end{equation}
for some $F:\mathbb{R}^{n+...
