Connection matrices and transition matrices
This paper is an introduction to connection and transition matrices in the Conley index theory for flows. Basic definitions and simple examples are discussed.
This paper is an introduction to connection and transition matrices in the Conley index theory for flows. Basic definitions and simple examples are discussed.
In this note we present the main ideas of the theory of the Conley index over a base space introduced in the papers [7, 8]. The theory arised as an attempt to solve two questions concerning the classical Conley index. In the definition of the index, the exit set of an isolating neighborhood is collapsed to a point. Some information is lost on this collapse. In particular, topological information about how a set sits in the phase space is lost. The first question addressed is how to retain some of...
