Abstract

Let Λ\Lambda be a complete metric space, and let {Sλ(): λΛ}\{S_\lambda(\cdot):\ \lambda\in\Lambda\} be a parametrised family of semigroups with global attractors Aλ{\mathscr A}_\lambda. We assume that there exists a fixed bounded set DD such that AλD{\mathscr A}_\lambda\subset D for every λΛ\lambda\in\Lambda. By viewing the attractors as the limit as tt\to\infty of the sets Sλ(t)DS_\lambda(t)D, we give simple proofs of the equivalence of `equi-attraction' to continuity (when this convergence is uniform in λ\lambda) and show that the attractors Aλ{\mathscr A}_\lambda are continuous in λ\lambda at a residual set of parameters in the sense of Baire Category (when the convergence is only pointwise).
