Abstract
We describe the long-time behaviour of solutions of parabolic equations in the case when some solutions may blow up in a finite or infinite time. This is done by providing a maximal compact invariant set attracting any initial data for which the corresponding solution does not blow up. The abstract result is applied to the Frank-Kamenetskii equation and the $N$-dimensional Navier–Stokes system with small external force.
