Title: Properties of an equation for neural fields in a bounded domain Author: Severino Horacio da Silva (FCG, Campina Grande - PB, Brasil) Abstract: In this work we study the global dynamics of an evolution equation for neural fields, where the flow generated by this equation in the phase space $L^2(S^1)$, is $C^1$. Furthermore we exhibit a continuous Lyapunov functional and use it for proving that this flow has the gradient property. Submitted March 28, 2011. Published March 16, 2012.
