On the dynamics of nonautonomous periodic general dynamical systems and differential inclusions

We establish the existence and stability results for periodic nonautonomous uniform forward attractors of periodic general dynamical systems (set-valued dynamical systems). We also investigate the dynamical behavior of nonautonomous periodic differential inclusion x′(t)∈f(t,x(t)) on Rm with only upper semi-continuous right-hand side by applying the abstract results. Firstly, we show that if the system has a compact uniformly attracting set, then it has a periodic nonautonomous uniform forward attractor A. Secondly, we prove that A is robust with respect to both internal and external perturbations. Finally, we apply the robustness result to discuss the effects of small time delays to asymptotic stability of the system.
