In this work, we define the notions of ‘impulsive non‐autonomous dynamical systems’ and ‘impulsive cocycle attractors’. Such notions generalize (we will see that not in the most direct way) the notions of autonomous dynamical systems and impulsive global attractors in the current published literature. We also establish conditions to ensure the existence of an impulsive cocycle attractor for a given impulsive non‐autonomous dynamical system, which are analogous to the continuous case. Moreover, we prove the existence of such attractor for a non‐autonomous 2D Navier–Stokes equation with impulses, using energy estimates. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

In this paper, we consider an initial value problem for a class of generalized ODEs, also known as Kurzweil equations, and we prove the existence of a local semidynamical system there. Under certain perturbation conditions, we also show that this class of generalized ODEs admits a discontinuous semiflow which we shall refer to as an impulsive semidynamical system. As a consequence, we obtain LaSalle's invariance principle for such a class of generalized ODEs. Due to the importance of LaSalle's invariance principle in studying stability of differential systems, we include an application to autonomous ordinary differential systems with impulse action at variable times.
