In this work reaction diffusion systems of the form: \[ \begin{cases} u_t= \text{Div}(a\nabla u)- \sum^n_{j=1} B_j(x){\partial u\over\partial x_j}-\lambda u+ f(u),\quad &\text{in }\Omega,\\ {\partial u\over\partial n_a}= g(u),\quad &\text{on }\partial\Omega\end{cases} \] is considered. There \(\Omega\) is a bounded smooth domain of \(\mathbb{R}^n\), \(u= (u_1,\dots, u_N)^T\), \(N\geq 1\), \(a(x)= \text{diag}(a_1(x),\dots, a_N(x))\), \(a_i\in C^1(\overline\Omega)\), \(a_i(x)> m_0> 0\), \(x\in\Omega\), \(1\leq i\leq N\), \({\partial u\over\partial n_a}= \langle a\nabla u,\vec n\rangle\), \(\vec n\) is the outward normal, \(\lambda\) is a positive constant and \(B_j= \text{diag}(b^1_j,\dots, b^N_j)\) is continuous in \(\overline\Omega\), \(j= 1,\dots, n\), \(f: \mathbb{R}^N\to \mathbb{R}^N\) and \(g: \mathbb{R}^N\to \mathbb{R}^N\) are smooth functions. Under suitable properties for functions \(f\) and \(g\), the flow is shown to satisfy the hypothesis of a theorem in Hale's book, which guarantees the existence of a global attractor for this problem in fractional power spaces \(X^\alpha\) which are embedded in \(C\). The existence and regularity of solutions follow directly from the general theory of Amann. The tools employed are comparison principles and interpolation theory.
