AbstractIn this paper we extend a theorem of Mallet-Paret and Sell for the existence of an inertial manifold for a scalar-valued reaction diffusion equation to new physical domains ωn ⊂ Rn, n = 2,3. For their result the Principle of Spatial Averaging (PSA), which certain domains may possess, plays a key role for the existence of an inertial manifold. Instead of the PSA, we define a weaker PSA and prove that the domains φn with appropriate boundary conditions for the Laplace operator, δ, satisfy a weaker PSA. This weaker PSA is enough to ensure the existence of an inertial manifold for a specific class of scalar-valued reaction diffusion equations on each domain ωn under suitable conditions.
