We study both analytically and numerically the stability of the solutions of the Hébraud-Lequeux equation. This parabolic equation models the evolution for the probability of finding a stress σ in a mesoscopic block of a concentrated suspension, a non-Newtonian fluid. We prove a new result concerning the stability of the fixed points of the equation, and pose some conjectures about stability, based on numerical evidence
