The abundance of wild hyperbolic sets and non-smooth stable sets for diffeomorphisms
Foliations on the 2-sphere with a finite number of non-orientable singularities are considered. For this class a Poincaré-Bendixson theorem is established. In particular, the work gives an answer to a problem of H. Rosenberg concerning labyrinths.
We prove that generic convergent diagrams of proper smooth mappings are topologically stable. In proving global properties of diagrams we propose a generalization of the concept of singularity for diagrams, and we establish the geometry of composite mappings.
