contents In a recent article, we introduced the concept of streams and graphs of a semiflow. An important related concept is the one of semiflow with {\em compact dynamics}, which we defined as a semiflow $F$ with a {\em compact global trapping region}. In this follow-up, we restrict to the important case where the phase space $X$ is locally compact and we move the focus on the concept of {\em global attractor}, a maximal compact set that attracts every compact subset of $X$. A semiflow $F$ can have many global trapping regions but, if it has a global attractor, this is unique. We modify here our original definition and we say that $F$ has compact dynamics if it has a global attractor $G$. We show that most of the qualitative properties of $F$ are inherited by the restriction $F_G$ of $F$ to $G$ and that, in case of Conley's chains stream of $F$, the qualitative behavior of $F$ and $F_G$ coincide. Moreover, if $F$ is a continuous-time semiflow, then its graph is identical to the graph of its time-1 map. Our main result is that, for each semiflow $F$ with compact dynamics over a locally compact space, the graphs of the prolongational relation of $F$ and of every stream of $F$ are connected if the global attractor is connected.

In a recent article, we introduced the concept of streams and graphs of a semiflow. An important related concept is the one of semiflow with {\em compact dynamics}, which we defined as a semiflow $F$ with a {\em compact global trapping region}. In this follow-up, we restrict to the important case where the phase space $X$ is locally compact and we move the focus on the concept of {\em global attractor}, a maximal compact set that attracts every compact subset of $X$. A semiflow $F$ can have many global trapping regions but, if it has a global attractor, this is unique. We modify here our original definition and we say that $F$ has compact dynamics if it has a global attractor $G$. We show that most of the qualitative properties of $F$ are inherited by the restriction $F_G$ of $F$ to $G$ and that, in case of Conley's chains stream of $F$, the qualitative behavior of $F$ and $F_G$ coincide. Moreover, if $F$ is a continuous-time semiflow, then its graph is identical to the graph of its time-1 map. Our main result is that, for each semiflow $F$ with compact dynamics over a locally compact space, the graphs of the prolongational relation of $F$ and of every stream of $F$ are connected if the global attractor is connected.
