   In this paper we consider the existence of a global periodic attractor for a class of infinite dimensional dissipative equations under homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. It is proved that in a certain parameter, for an arbitrary timeperiodic driving force, the system has a unique periodic solution attracting any bounded set exponentially in the phase space, which implies that the system behaves exactly as a one-dimensional system. We mention, in particular, that the obtained result can be used to prove the existence of the global periodic attractor for abstract parabolic problems.

In [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.35063-ref9">9</xref>] and [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.35063-ref10">10</xref>], Hernandez and Henriquez have extended the problem studied in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.35063-ref8">8</xref>] to neutral equations and established the corresponding existence results of solutions and periodic solutions. In their work, <img src="5-5300478\e2b79e1b-2eb0-4ba0-b195-dda7b9b3c2da.jpg" />, especially, <img src="5-5300478\bc4cd831-8ebf-47a9-a6a0-0e42252f70fd.jpg" />is a negative Laplacian operator, and A generates an analytic semigroup so that the theory of the fractional power has been used effectively there. However, their results clearly cannot apply to Equation (1.1) with <img src="5-5300478\437d207c-ab22-4a38-b762-448d7a85b507.jpg" /> is non-autonomous which is a more general and maybe more important case [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.35063-ref11">11</xref>]. So we will use the appropriate assumptions to overcome the difficulty for the non-autonomous operator<img src="5-5300478\01e161a7-7801-4b18-87ce-72f7abd2a300.jpg" />.</p><p>We arrange this paper as follows. Firstly we present the existence and uniqueness of solutions. Then we obtain a nonstandard estimation under which system (1.1) possesses a global periodic attractor. Finally, for the special case<img src="5-5300478\2b9f3005-222d-4271-812e-eeef963da1ba.jpg" />, we discuss the existence of a global periodic attractor for abstract parabolic problems.</p></sec><sec id="s2"><title>2.
