Abstract

We investigate the forwards asymptotic dynamics of non-autonomous differential equations. Our approach is centred on those models for which the vector field is only defined for non-negative times, that is, the laws of evolution are not given, or simply not known, for times before a given time (say time t = 0). We will be interested in the cases for which the `driving' (time shift) semigroup has a global attractor in which backwards solutions are not necessarily unique. Considering vector fields in the global attractor of the driving semigroup allows for a natural way to extend vector fields, defined only for non-negative times, to the whole real line. These objects play a crucial role in the description of the asymptotic dynamics of our non-autonomous differential equation. We will study, in some particular cases, the isolated invariant sets of the associated skew-product semigroup with the aim of characterising the global attractor. We develop an example for which we derive decomposition for the global attractor of skew-product semigroup from the characterisation of the attractor of the associated driving semigroup. (AU)
