In particular, we characterize the long-term behavior of the profiles, and we provide a sufficient condition on the vertical source that guarantees the convergence to the equilibrium in a finite time. We show by counterexamples that a stable configuration may not be reached in a finite time, in general, even if the source is timeindependent. Finally, we provide a complete characterization of the equilibrium profiles.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>В данной работе обсуждаются некоторые особенности краевой задачи для системы уравнений в частных производных, описывающей рост насыпи песка в контейнере под действием вертикального источника. В частности, характеризуется долговременное поведение профилей поверхности и приводится достаточное условие на вертикальный источник, гарантирующее сходимость к равновесию за конечное время. На контрпримерах показано, что устойчивая конфигурация может не достигаться за конечное время, вообще говоря, даже если источник не зависит от времени. Наконец, дается полная характеристика равновесных профилей поверхности.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>system of partial differential equations</kwd><kwd>evolutionary problem</kwd><kwd>sandpile</kwd><kwd>surface profile</kwd><kwd>stationary solution</kwd><kwd>convergence in a finite time</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>система уравнений в частных производных</kwd><kwd>эволюционная задача</kwd><kwd>песчаная насыпь</kwd><kwd>профиль поверхности</kwd><kwd>стационарное решение</kwd><kwd>сходимость за конечное время</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><award-group><funding-source><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="ru">Авторы были частично поддержаны Gruppo Nazionale per l’Analisi Matematica, la Probabilit`a e le loro Applicazioni (GNAMPA) Национального института высшей математики (INDAM).
