On foundations of the Conley index theory

Roman Srzednicki (1999)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

The Conley index theory was introduced by Charles C. Conley (1933-1984) in [C1] and a major part of the foundations of the theory was developed in Ph. D. theses of his students, see for example [Ch, Ku, Mon]. The Conley index associates the homotopy type of some pointed space to an isolated invariant set of a flow, just as the fixed point index associates an integer number to an isolated set of fixed points of a continuous map. Examples of isolated invariant sets arise naturally in the...

Reconstructing the global dynamics of attractors via the Conley index

Christopher McCord (1999)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

Given an unknown attractor 𝓐 in a continuous dynamical system, how can we discover the topology and dynamics of 𝓐? As a practical matter, how can we do so from only a finite amount of information? One way of doing so is to produce a semi-conjugacy from 𝓐 onto a model system 𝓜 whose topology and dynamics are known. The complexity of 𝓜 then provides a lower bound for the complexity of 𝓐. The Conley index can be used to construct a simplicial model and a surjective semi-conjugacy...

The Conley index and countable decompositions of invariant sets

Marian Gidea (1999)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

We define a new cohomological index of Conley type associated to any bi-infinite sequence of neighborhoods that satisfies a certain isolation condition. We use this index to study the chaotic dynamics on invariant sets which decompose as countable unions of pairwise disjoint (mod 0) compact pieces.

Index filtrations and Morse decompositions for discrete dynamical systems

P. Bartłomiejczyk, Z. Dzedzej (1999)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

On a Morse decomposition of an isolated invariant set of a homeomorphism (discrete dynamical system) there are partial orderings defined by the homeomorphism. These are called admissible orderings of the Morse decomposition. We prove the existence of index filtrations for admissible total orderings of a Morse decomposition and introduce the connection matrix in this case.

Connection matrix pairs

David Richeson (1999)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

We discuss the ideas of Morse decompositions and index filtrations for isolated invariant sets for both single-valued and multi-valued maps. We introduce the definition of connection matrix pairs and present the theorem of their existence. Connection matrix pair theory for multi-valued maps is used to show that connection matrix pairs obey the continuation property. We conclude by addressing applications to numerical analysis. This paper is primarily an overview of the papers [R1] and...
