dc.descriptionLet $Ω$ be an arbitrary smooth bounded domain in $\R^2$ and $ε>0$ be arbitrary. Squeeze $Ω$ by the factor $ε$ in the $y$-direction to obtain the squeezed domain $Ω_ε=\{(x,εy)\mid (x,y)\inΩ\}$. In this paper we study the family of reaction-diffusion equations $$ \alignedat 2 u_t&=Δu+f(u),&\quad &t>0, (x,y)\inΩ_ε\partial_{ν_ε} u&=0,& & t>0, (x,y)\in\partialΩ_ε,\endalignedat\tag $E_ε$ $$ where $f$ is a dissipative nonlinearity of polynomial growth. In a previous paper we showed that, as $ε\to 0$, the equations $(E_ε)$ have a limiting equation which is an abstract semilinear parabolic equation defined on a closed linear subspace of $H^1(Ω)$. We also proved that the family ${\Cal A}_ε$ of the corresponding attractors is upper semicontinuous at $ε=0$. In this paper we prove that, if $Ω$ satisfies some natural assumptions, then the limiting equation can be characterized as a reaction-diffusion equation on a finite topological graph. Moreover, there is a family $\Cal M_ε$ of inertial $C^1$-manifolds for $(E_ε)$, of some fixed finite dimension $ν$, and, as $ε\to 0$, the flow on $\Cal M_ε$ converges in the $C^1$-sense to the limit flow on $\Cal M_0$.
