Publisher's Synopsis
The study of attractors of dynamical systems occupies an important position in the modern qualitative theory of differential equations. This engaging volume presents an authoritative overview of both autonomous and non-autonomous dynamical systems, including the global compact attractor. From an in-depth introduction to the different types of dissipativity and attraction, the book takes a comprehensive look at the connections between them, and critically discusses applications of general results to different classes of differential equations. Intended for experts in qualitative theory of differential equations, dynamical systems and their applications, this accessible book can also serve as an important resource for senior students and lecturers.
