272 Global Attractors of Non-autonomous Dissipative Dynamical Systems
Then every cocycle ϕ
λ
(λ ∈ Λ) admits a uniform compact global attractor I
λ
(λ ∈ Λ)
and the set
S
{I
λ
| λ ∈ Λ} is compact.
Proof. Let X := W × Ω and (X, T, π
λ
) be a skew-product dynamical system,
generated by the cocycle ϕ
λ
, then (X, h, Ω) , where h := pr
2
: X → Ω, is a trivial
fiber bundle with fiber W . Under the conditions of Theorem 7.6 and according
to Theorem 5.2 the non-autonomous dynamical system h(X, T
+
, π
λ
), (Ω, T, σ), hi
admits a compact global attractor J
λ
and according to Theorem 2.24 the cocycle
ϕ
λ
admits a compact global attractor I
λ
= {I
λ
ω
| ω ∈ Ω}, where I

ω
:= pr

and

Let
˜
Ω := Ω × Λ, (
˜
Ω, T, ˜σ) be a dynamical system on
˜
Ω defined by the
equality ˜σ(t, (ω, λ)) := (σ(t, ω), λ) ( for all t ∈ T, ω ∈ Ω and λ ∈ Λ),
˜
X :=
W ×
˜
Ω and (
˜
X, T
+
, ˜π) be an autonomous dynamical system defined by equality
˜π(t, (w, ˜ω)) := (π
λ
(t, w), (ωt, λ)) for all ˜ω := (ω, λ) ∈
˜
Ω := Ω × Λ. Note that the
triplet (
˜
X, h, Ω), where h := pr
2
:
˜
X →
˜
Ω, is a trivial fiber bundle with fiber
W, h(
˜
X, T
+
, ˜π), (
˜
Ω, T, ˜σ), hi is a non-autonomous dynamical system. The function
˜
V :
˜
X
r
:= W
r
×
˜
Ω → R
+
, defined by the equality
˜
V (˜x) := V
λ
(w, ω) for all
˜x := (w, (ω, λ)) ∈
˜
X
r
under the conditions of Theorem 7.6, all the conditions
of Theorem 5.3 hold and, consequently, the dynamical system (
˜
X, T
+
, ˜π) admits
a compact global attractor. To finish the proof of the theorem it is sufficiently to
note that if the dynamical system (
˜
X, T
+
, ˜π) admits a compact global attractor
˜
J, then the family of cocycles {ϕ
λ
}
λ∈Λ
is uniformly collectively compact dissipa-
tive and according to Theorem 7.3 the set I =
S
{I
λ
| λ ∈ Λ} is compact, where
I
λ
= {I
λ
ω
| ω ∈ Ω} is the compact global attractor of cocycle ϕ
λ
. The theorem is
proved.
7.4 Connectedness
Recall that the space W possesses the property (S) if for every compact K ∈ C(W )
there exists a compact connected set V ∈ C(W ) such that K ⊆ V .
If M ⊆ W , for each ω ∈ Ω, we write
Ω
ω
(M) =
\
t≥0
[
τ≥t
ϕ(τ, M, ω
−τ
) .
Lemma 7.7 Suppose that the cocycle ϕ admits a compact pullback attractor
{I
ω
|ω ∈ Ω} , then the following assertions hold:
a. ∅ 6= Ω
ω
(M) ⊆ I
ω
for every M ∈ C(W ) and ω ∈ Ω;
b. the family {Ω
ω
(M) | ω ∈ Ω} is compact and invariant w.r.t. cocycle ϕ for every
M ∈ C(W );
