Singularly perturbed parabolic equations with cubic nonlinearities and their solutions called steplike traveling contrast structures (CSs) are considered. The method of boundary functions is applied to construct formal zeroth-order asymptotics in the noncritical case and first-order asymptotics in the critical case. Some relevant theorems are proved.
