A solution of an equation is stable: if the data are changed a little, the corresponding solution changes only a little.

This question is about Theorem 1.1 and its proof. I almost understand why, if i is odd, the solution of the Fisher-KPP equation is stable by its proof with a triangle inequality. We can get limsup|u_1(x,t;phi_{A}(x)-u_2(x,t;phi_{A}(x)|=0. However, I don't understand why if i is even, then the solution is unstable. Why does this problem matter with even or odd?

Can we also show that the Fisher-KPP equation is stable with the Dirichlet condition by the triangle inequality, by Theorem 1.1 in this article?

If so, then I infer that the Fisher-KPP equation with Neumann condition is also stable for V_i(x), with i is an odd integer, but unstable with i is an even integer because the Dirichlet condition+Neumann condition =Robin condition. Is this result worth proving?

Here is a sketch of proof:

Since a positive periodic solution is close to the positive stationary solutions in our model, if the solution is stable. We have

limsup|V(t,x)-V_i(x)|=0.

We also have

limsup|u(t,x)-V(t,x)|=0

and

limsup|u_(x,t;phi_{A}(x)-V_i(x)|=0 for i is an odd integer.

By triangle inequality,

we have limsup|u(t,x)-u_(x,t;phi_{A}(x)|=0. Then we prove it as desired.
