The concept of asymptotic stability is studied for a class of infinite-dimensional semilinear Banach state space (distributed parameter) systems. Asymptotic stability criteria are established, which are based on the concept of strictly m-dissipative operator. These theoretical results are applied to a nonisothermal plug flow tubular reactor model, which is described by semilinear partial differential equations, derived from mass and energy balances. In particular it is shown that, under suitable conditions on the model parameters, some equilibrium profiles are asymptotically stable equilibriums of such model. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.
