The monograph present ideas and methods, developed by the author, to solve the problem of existence of Bohr/Levitan almost periodic (respectively, almost recurrent in the sense of Bebutov, almost authomorphic, Poisson stable) solutions and global attractors of monotone nonautonomous differential/difference equations. Namely, the text provides answers to the following problems: 1. Problem of existence of at least one Bohr/Levitan almost periodic solution for cooperative almost periodic differential/difference equations;  2. Problem of existence of at least one Bohr/Levitan almost periodic solution for uniformly stable and dissipative monotone differential equations (I. U. Bronshtein’s conjecture, 1975); 3. Problem of description of the structure of the global attractor for monotone nonautonomous dynamical systems;   4. The structure of the invariant/minimal sets and global attractors for one-dimensional monotone nonautonomous dynamical systems;   5. Asymptotic behavior of monotone nonautonomous dynamical systems with a first integral (Poisson stable motions, convergence, asymptotically Poisson stable motions and structure of the Levinson center (compact global attractor) of dissipative systems); 6. Existence and convergence to Poisson stable motions of monotone sub-linear nonautonomous dynamical systems. This book will be interesting to the mathematical community working in the field of nonautonomous dynamical systems and their applications (population dynamics, oscillation theory, ecology, epidemiology, economics, biochemistry etc). The book should be accessible to graduate and PhD  students who took courses in real analysis (including the elements of functional analysis, general topology) and with general background in dynamical systems and qualitative theory of differential/difference equations.

The study of attractors of dynamical systems occupies an important position in the modern qualitative theory of differential equations. This engaging volume presents an authoritative overview of both autonomous and non-autonomous dynamical systems, including the global compact attractor. From an in-depth introduction to the different types of dissipativity and attraction, the book takes a comprehensive look at the connections between them, and critically discusses applications of general results to different classes of differential equations. Intended for experts in qualitative theory of differential equations, dynamical systems and their applications, this accessible book can also serve as an important resource for senior students and lecturers.
