Abstract

In 1992, P. Poláčik showed that one could linearly imbed any vector field into a scalar semi-linear parabolic equation on Ω with Neumann boundary condition provided that there exists a smooth vector field Φ = (φ,⋯, φ n) on Ω̄ such that {rank (Φ (x), ∂ 1 Φ (x), ⋯, ∂ nΦ (x)) = n for all x ε Ω̄, ∂Φ/∂ν = 0 on ∂Ω. In this short paper, we give a classification of all the domains on which one may find such a type of vector field.
