The paper's aim is a description of some classical problems related to \(\omega\)-limit sets generated by a family of two-dimensional triangular maps on the unit square \(\mathbb I^2\), \(\mathbb I=[0,1]\). Remember that a two-dimensional triangular map is defined by the relations \(x'=f(x), y'=g(x,y)\). Five general problems are formulated to examine their situation more specially with respect to two-dimensional triangular maps of the unit square. The three first problems concern the characterization and the description of \(\omega\)-limit sets. Problems which remain open are defined. The fourth problem deals with the notion of universality in \(\omega\)-limit sets. It is the answer to the following question: given a family of subsets of the space \(X\) that a class of continuous maps can produce as \(\omega\)-limit sets, is there a map of this class generating as \(\omega\)-limit sets on \(X\) all the sets \(s\) contained in the above family of subsets? If this occurs the map is said ``universal'' in the considered class with respect to \(s\). The fifth problem is related to Hausdorff's closure of the family of all \(\omega\)-limit sets produced by a continuous map from a compact metric space \(X\) into itself.
