##### Abstract

In this paper, we study numerically the existence and stability of the steady state solutions of the reaction-diffusion equation, ${u}_{t}-a{u}_{xx}-u+{u}^{3}=0$, and the Klein–Gordon equation, ${u}_{tt}+c{u}_{t}-a{u}_{xx}-u+{u}^{3}=0$, with the boundary conditions: $u\left(-1\right)=u\left(1\right)=0$. We show that as $a$ varies, the number of steady state solutions and their stability change.
