Global attractors of V -monotone dynamical systems 397
According to the conditions 1. and 3. of Theorem 12.8 we have
a|u
1
(t) − u
2
(t)|
2
≤ 0
for all t ∈ [0, t
0
) and, consequently, u
1
(t) = u
2
(t) for all t ∈ [0, t
0
).
Now we will prove that every solution of the equation (12.17) is defined on R
+
.
Let u ∈ R
n
and ϕ(t, u, ω) be the unique solution of the equation (12.17) defined
on [0, t
(u,ω)
). To prove that t
(u,ω)
= +∞ it is sufficient to show that the solution
ϕ(t, u, ω) is bounded on [0, t
(u,ω)
). We denote by b := max
ω∈Ω
kW (ω)k and T

(u, ω) =
{t ∈ [0, t
(u,ω)
) | |ϕ(t, u, ω)| ≤ r } and T

(u, ω) = [0, t
(u,ω)
) \T

(u, ω). It is clear that
the set T
2
(u, ω) is open and, consequently, T
2
(u, ω) =
S
α
{(t
α
, t
β
) | β = β(α) }. For
all t ∈ T
2
(u, ω) there exists α such that t ∈ (t
α
, t
β
) , |ϕ(t
α
, u, ω)| = |ϕ(t
β
, u, ω)| and
|ϕ(t, u, ω)| > r. Consequently,
a|ϕ(t, u, ω)|

≤ hW (σ

hW (ωt

.
From the inequality (12.18) follows that |ϕ(t, u, ω)| ≤

r and, consequently,
we obtain sup{|ϕ(t, u, ω)| | t ∈ [0, t
(u,ω)
) } ≤ r
0
:= max{r,

equation (12.17) defines a cocycle ϕ on R
n
.
Let X = R
n
× Ω, (X, R
+
, π) be a skew-product dynamical system and
h(X, R
+
, π), (Ω, R, σ), hi be the non-autonomous dynamical system generated by
the equation (12.17). Denote by V : X → R

the function defined by the equal-
ity V(u, ω) := hW (ω)u, ui for all (u, ω) ∈ X := R

× Ω. If |ϕ(t, u, ω)| > r for all
t ∈ (t

In view of Theorem 5.3 the non-autonomous dynamical system h(X, R

(Ω, R, σ), hi admits a compact global attractor.
