We give a sufficient condition for the existence of a Lyapunov function for the system aₜ = ∇(k(a,c)∇a - h(a,c)∇c), x ∈ Ω, t > 0, $\epsilon cₜ=k_c\Delta c-f\left(c\right)c+g(a,c)$, x ∈ Ω, t > 0, for $\Omega \subset {ℝ}^N$, completed with either a = c = 0, or ∂a/∂n = ∂c/∂n = 0, or k(a,c) ∂a/∂n = h(a,c) ∂c/∂n, c = 0 on ∂Ω × t > 0. Furthermore we study the asymptotic behaviour of the solution and give some uniform $L^p$-estimates.
