Abstract
Consider an attractor of a dissipative non-autonomous system with one angle coordinate. We give conditions for this attractor to be homeomorphic to the circle where we find connections with the work of R. A. Smith. Several applications are studied, such as: the forced pendulum, discretizations of the sine-Gordon equation, n'th order equations, among others.
