We consider a dissipative reaction–diffusion equation on a thin L-shaped domain (with the thinness measured by a parameter ε); we determine the limit equation for ε = 0 and prove the upper semicontinuity of the global attractors at ε = 0. We also state a lower semicontinuity result. When the limit equation is one-dimensional, we prove convergence of any orbit to a singleton.
