fiber W , i.e. the mapping ϕ : T
+
× W × Ω → W is continuous and possesses the
following properties: ϕ(0, x, ω) = x and ϕ(t + τ, x, ω) = ϕ(t, ϕ(τ, x, ω), ωt), where
ωt = σ(t, ω).
We denote by X = W ×Ω, g = pr
1
: X 7→ W, (X, T
+
, π) a semi-group dynamical
system on X defined by the equality π = (ϕ, σ), i.e. π
t
x = (ϕ(t, u, ω), σ(t, ω)) for
every t ∈ T
+
and x = (u, ω) ∈ X = W × Ω. Let h(X, T
+
, π), (Ω, T, σ), hi be a
non-autonomous dynamical system, where h = pr

: X 7→ Ω.
Definition 7.1 A family {I
ω
| ω ∈ Ω}(I
ω
⊂ W ) of nonempty compact subsets of
W is called a maximal compact invariant set of cocycle ϕ, if the following conditions
are fulfilled:
(1) {I
ω
| ω ∈ Ω} is invariant, i.e. ϕ(t, I
ω
, ω) = I
ωt
for every ω ∈ Ω and t ∈ T
+
;
(2) I =
S
{I
ω
| ω ∈ Ω} is relatively compact;
(3) {I
ω
| ω ∈ Ω} is maximal, i.e. if the family {I
0
ω
| ω ∈ Ω} is relatively compact
and invariant, then I
0
ω
⊆ I
ω
for every ω ∈ Ω.
Lemma 7.1 The family {I
ω
| ω ∈ Ω} is invariant w.r.t. cocycle ϕ if and only
if the set J =
S
{J
ω
| ω ∈ Ω}(J
ω
:= I
ω
× {ω}) is invariant with respect to the
skew-product dynamical system (X, T
+
, π).
Proof. Let the family {I
ω
| ω ∈ Ω} be invariant, J =
S
{J
ω
|ω ∈ Ω} and J
ω
=
I
ω
×{ω}. Then
π
t
J =
[
{π
t
J
ω
| ω ∈ Ω} =
[
{(ϕ(t, I
ω
, ω), ωt) | ω ∈ Ω} (7.1)
=
[
{I
ωt
×{ωt} | ω ∈ Ω} =
[
{J
ωt
| ω ∈ Ω} = J
for all t ∈ T
+
. From the equality (7.1) follows that the family {I
ω
| ω ∈ Ω} is
invariant w.r.t. cocycle ϕ if and only if a set J is invariant w.r.t. dynamical system
(X, T
+
, π).
Theorem 7.1 Let the family of sets {I
ω
| ω ∈ Ω} be maximal, compact and
invariant. Then it is closed.
Proof. We note that the set J =
S
{J
ω
| ω ∈ Ω}(J
ω
:= I
ω
× {ω}) is relatively
compact and according to Lemma 7.1 it is invariant. Let K =
J, then K is compact.
We will show that K is invariant. If x ∈ K, then there exists {x
n
} ⊂ J such that
x = lim
n→+∞
x
n
. Thus x
n
∈ J = π
t
J for all t ∈ T
+
, then for t ∈ T
+
there exists
x
n
∈ J such that x
n
= π
t
x
n
. Since J is relatively compact, then we can suppose that
the sequence {
x
n
} is convergent. We denote by x = lim
n→+∞
x
n
,then x ∈ J, x = π
t
x
and, consequently, x ∈ π
t
J for all t ∈ T
+
, i.e. J = π
t
J. Let I
0
= pr
1
K, then we
have I
0
=
S
{I
0
ω
| ω ∈ Ω}, where I
0
ω
= {u ∈ W | (u, ω) ∈ K} and K
ω
:= I

ω
× {ω}.
