For $s\in [\tfrac {1}{2},\, 1)$, let $u$ solve $(\partial _t - \Delta )^s u = Vu$ in $\mathbb {R}^{n} \times [-T,\, 0]$ for some $T>0$ where $||V||_{ C^2(\mathbb {R}^n \times [-T, 0])} < \infty$. We show that if for some $0<\mathfrak {K} < T$ and $\epsilon >0$

\[ {\unicode{x2A0D}}-_{[-\mathfrak{K},\, 0]} u^2(x, t) {\rm d}t \leq Ce^{-|x|^{2+\epsilon}}\ \forall x \in \mathbb{R}^n, \]

then $u \equiv 0$

in $\mathbb {R}^{n} \times [-T,\, 0]$

The non-local equation

$$ u_t=(u^3u_x)_x+\frac{\lambda f(u)}{(\int_{-1}^1f(u)\,\rd x)^{2}} $$

is considered, subject to some initial and Dirichlet boundary conditions. Here $f$ is taken to be either $\exp(-s^4)$ or $H(1-s)$ with $H$ the Heaviside function, which are both decreasing. It is found that there exists a critical value $\lambda^*=2$, so that for $\lambda>\lambda^{*}$ there is no stationary solution and $u$ ‘blows up’ (in some sense). If $0\lt\lambda\lt\lambda^{*}$, there is a unique stationary solution which is asymptotically stable and the solution of the IBVP is global in time.
