Persistence of Conley--Morse Graphs in Combinatorial Dynamical Systems

Morse-Conley-Floer Homology

For Morse-Smale pairs on a smooth, closed manifold the MorseSmale-Witten chain complex can be defined. The associated Morse homology is isomorphic to the singular homology of the manifold and yields the classical Morse relations for Morse functions. A similar approach can be used to define homological invariants for isolated invariant sets of flows on a smooth manifold, which gives an analogue ...

Conley Index for Discrete Multivalued Dynamical Systems

The deenitions of isolating block, index pair, and the Conley index, together with the proof of homotopy and additivity properties of the index are generalized for discrete multivalued dynamical systems. That generalization provides a theoretical background of numerical computation used by Mischaikow and Mrozek in their computer assisted proof of chaos in the Lorenz equations, where nitely repr...

Conley index for random dynamical systems

Conley index theory is a very powerful tool in the study of dynamical systems, differential equations and bifurcation theory. In this paper, we make an attempt to generalize the Conley index to discrete random dynamical systems. And we mainly follow the Conley index for maps given by Franks and Richeson in [6]. Furthermore, we simply discuss the relations of isolated invariant sets between time...

Conley Index Theory and Novikov-Morse Theory

We derive general Novikov-Morse type inequalities in a Conley type framework for flows carrying cocycles, therefore generalizing our results in [FJ2] derived for integral cocycle. The condition of carrying a cocycle expresses the nontriviality of integrals of that cocycle on flow lines. Gradient-like flows are distinguished from general flows carrying a cocycle by boundedness conditions on thes...
