On a generalization of the Conley index

Marian Mrozek, James Reineck, Roman Srzednicki (1999)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

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...

The Conley index for flows preserving generalized symmetries

Artur Pruszko (1999)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

Topological spaces with generalized symmetries are defined and extensions of the Conley index of a compact isolated invariant set of the flow preserving the structures introduced are proposed. One of the two new indexes is constructed with no additional assumption on the examined set in terms of symmetry invariance.

Conley type index and Hamiltonian inclusions

Zdzisław Dzedzej (2010)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

Similarity:

This paper is based mainly on the joint paper with W. Kryszewski [Dzedzej, Z., Kryszewski, W.: Conley type index applied to Hamiltonian inclusions. J. Math. Anal. Appl. 347 (2008), 96–112.], where cohomological Conley type index for multivalued flows has been applied to prove the existence of nontrivial periodic solutions for asymptotically linear Hamiltonian inclusions. Some proofs and additional remarks concerning definition of the index and special cases are given.

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...

Dynamical systems and shapes.

J.J. Sánchez-Gabites (2008)

RACSAM

Similarity:

This survey is an introduction to some of the methods, techniques and concepts from algebraic topology and related areas (homotopy theory, shape theory) which can be fruitfully applied to study problems concerning continuous dynamical systems. To this end two instances which exemplify the interaction between topology and dynamics are considered, namely, Conley’s index theory and the study of some properties of certain attractors.

Homotopical dynamics of gradient flows

Octavian Cornea (1998)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

In this paper we will be interested in results surrounding the following basic question: what are the homotopy properties that one can extract from a gradient flow? We approach this question by decomposing it into three parts: 1. Identify what are the homotopical objects that are provided by the flow (e.g. critical points, Conley indexes). 2. Discover what are the relations that have to be satisfied by these objects (e.g. Morse inequalities, Lusternik-Schnirelmann type inequalities)....
