The existence and uniqueness of global mild solutions are proven for a class of semilinear nonautonomous evolution equations. Moreover, it is shown that the system, under
considerations, has a unique steady state. This analysis uses,
essentially, the dissipativity, a subtangential condition, and the
positivity of the related ${C}_{0} $-semigroup.
