Asymptotic behavior of a generalized Burgers' equation solutions on a finite interval

The article is concerned with the study of asymptotic behavior of solutions of the Burgers equation and its generalizations with initial value — boundary problem on a finite interval, with constant boundary conditions. Since these equations take a dissipation into account, it is naturally to presuppose that any initial profile will evolve to an invariant time-independent solution with the same boundary values. Yet the answer happens to be slightly more complex. There are three possibilities: the initial profile may regularly decay to an invariant solution; or a Heaviside-type gap develops through a dispersive shock and multi-oscillations; or, exotically, an asymptotic limit is a 'frozen multi-oscillation' piecewise-differentiable solution, composed of different smooth invariant solutions.
