Abstract

Let Λ be a complete metric space, and let {Sλ(·) : λ ∈ Λ} be a parametrised family of semigroups with global attractors Aλ. We assume that there exists a fixed bounded set D such that Aλ ⊂ D for every λ ∈ Λ. By viewing the attractors as the limit as t → ∞ of the sets Sλ(t)D, we give simple proofs of the equivalence of ‘equi-attraction’ to continuity (when this convergence is uniform in λ) and show that the attractors Aλ are continuous in λ at a residual set of parameters in the sense of Baire Category (when the convergence is only pointwise).
