Non-autonomous dynamical systems (Q256789): Difference between revisions

This review paper consists of six sections. In Section 1 the authors present some notions and facts for autonomous dynamical systems: compact global attractors, gradient-like dynamical systems, Morse decomposition of attractors, Morse-Smale dynamical systems, parameter dependence of global attractors. Section 2 is dedicated to nonautonomous dynamical systems: two-parameter semigroups, cocycles, skew-product dynamical systems and their attractors. The relation between different types of attractors, such as forward attractors, uniform attractors, cocycle attractors and pull-back attractors, are studied. In the third section the problem of Morse decomposition of global attractors for skew-product dynamical systems is studied. The fourth section is dedicated to the study of global attractors for nonautonomous perturbations of gradient-like autonomous dynamical systems. The authors give a description of the structure of global attractors for this class of nonautonomous dynamical systems. In the last two sections the Morse theory of global attractors and Morse-Smale nonautonomous dynamical systems are studied.
