متن کاملOn Conley's fundamental theorem of dynamical systems
To the memory of Charles C. Conley We generalize Conley's fundamental theorem of dynamical systems in Conley index theory. We also conclude the existence of a regular index filtration for every Morse decomposition. 1. Introduction. Conley is mostly known for his fundamental theorem of dynami-cal systems and his homotopy index theory [1]. In the former, he proved that every continuous flow on a ...
متن کاملAn Index Theorem for Non Periodic Solutions of Hamiltonian Systems
We consider a Hamiltonian setup (M, ω,H,L,Γ,P), where (M, ω) is a symplectic manifold, L is a distribution of Lagrangian subspaces in M, P a Lagrangian submanifold of M, H is a smooth time dependent Hamiltonian function on M and Γ : [a, b] 7→ M is an integral curve of the Hamiltonian flow ~ H starting at P . We do not require any convexity property of the Hamiltonian function H . Under the assu...
متن کاملA Symplectic Perspective on Constrained Eigenvalue Problems
The Maslov index is a powerful tool for computing spectra of selfadjoint, elliptic boundary value problems. This is done by counting intersections of a fixed Lagrangian subspace, which designates the boundary condition, with the set of Cauchy data for the differential operator. We apply this methodology to constrained eigenvalue problems, in which the operator is restricted to a (not necessaril...
متن کاملA generalized Morse index theorem
In this paper, we prove a Morse index theorem for the index form of even order linear Hamiltonian systems on the closed interval with reasonable self-adjoint boundary conditions. The highest order term is assumed to be nondegenerate.
