Abstract: We analyze the chain recurrent set of skew product semiflows obtained from nonautonomous differential equations -- ordinary differential equations or semilinear parabolic differential equations. For many gradient-like dynamical systems, Morse-Smale dynamical systems e.g., the chain recurrent set contains only isolated equilibria. The structure in the asymptotically autonomous setting is richer but still close to to the structure of a Morse-Smale dynamical system. The main tool used in this paper is a nonautonomous flavour of Conley index theory developed by the author. We will see that for a class of good equations, the Conley index can be understood in terms of equilibria (in a generalized meaning) and their connections. This allows us to find specific solutions of asymptotically autonomous equations and generalizes properties of Morse-Smale dynamical systems to the asymptotically autonomous setting.

Review text

The paper deals with skew-product semiflows, especially those ones generated by nonautonomous ordinary equations \(\dot x=f(t,x)\) and semilinear parabolic evolution equations \(\dot u=Ax+f(t,x)\). The autonomous asymptoticity of \(f\) is assumed, i.e., \(f^t\to f^{\pm}\) as \(t\to \pm\infty\), where \(f^t(s,x)=f(s+t,x)\), both \(f^{\pm}\) are \(t\)-independent, and the convergence is determined by a suitable topology. Under further hypothesis, the author presents some constructions and results related to Morse decompositions and to the corresponding nonautonomous homology Conley indices. The notion of the nonautonomous Conley index was introduced by the author in [J. Fixed Point Theory Appl. 19, No. 3, 1825--1870 (2017; Zbl 1379.37033)]. The results of this paper are used to find theorems on the existence of solutions of the considered evolution equations which connect hyperbolic equilibria of the asymptotic autonomous systems.
