Abstract
Understanding the structure of attractors is fundamental in nonautonomous stability and bifurcation theory. By means of clarifying theorems and carefully designed examples we highlight the potential complexity of attractors for nonautonomous differential equations that are as close to autonomous equations as possible. We introduce and study bounded uniform attractors and repellors for nonautonomous scalar differential equations, in particular for asymptotically autonomous, polynomial, and periodic equations. Our results suggest that uniformly attracting or repelling solutions are the true analogues of attracting or repelling fixed points of autonomous systems. We provide sharp conditions for the autonomous structure to break up and give way to a bewildering diversity of nonautonomous bifurcations.
