In this paper, we use Conley index theory to examine the Poincare index of an isolated invariant set. We obtain some limiting conditions on a critical point of a planar vector field to be an isolated invariant set. As a result we show the existence of infinitely many homoclinic orbits for a critical point with the Poincare index greater than one.

A theorem on computation of the homological Conley index of an isolated invariant set of the Poincaré map associated to a section in a rotating local dynamical system $ϕ$ is proved. Let $(N,L)$ be an index pair for a discretization $ϕ^h$ of $ϕ$, where $h>0$, and let $S$ denote the invariant part of $N\setminus L$; it follows that the section $S_0$ of $S$ is an isolated invariant set of the Poincaré map. The theorem asserts that if the sections $N_0$ of $N$ and $L_0$ of $L$ are ANRs, the homology classes $[u_j]$ of some cycles $u_j$ form a basis of $H(N_0,L_0)$, and for some scalars $a_{ij}$, t…
We study the dynamics of surface homeomorphisms around isolated fixed points whose Poincaré-Lefschetz index is not equal to 1. We construct a new conjugacy invariant, which is a cyclic word on the alphabet $\{\ua, \ra, \da, \la\}$. This invariant is a refinement of the P.-L. index. It can be seen as a canonical decomposition of the dynamics into a finite number of sectors of hyperbolic, elliptic or indifferent type. The contribution of each type of sector to the P.-L. index is respectively -1/2, $+1/2$ and 0. The construction of the invariant implies the existence of some canonical dynamical s…
In this paper we study topological and dynamical features of isolated invariant continua of continuous flows defined on surfaces. We show that near an isolated invariant continuum the flow is topologically equivalent to a C1 flow. We deduce that isolated invariant continua in surfaces have the shape of finite polyhedra. We also show the existence of regular isolating blocks of isolated invariant continua and we use them to compute their Conley index provided that we have some knowledge about the truncated unstable manifold. We also see that the ring structure of the cohomology index of an isol…
It is shown that if a $C^2$ surface $M\subset\mathbb R^3$ has negative curvature on the complement of a point $q\in M$, then the $\mathbb Z/2$-valued Poincaré-Hopf index at $q$ of either distribution of principal directions on $M-\{q\}$ is non-positive. Conversely, any non-positive half-integer arises in this fashion. The proof of the index estimate is based on geometric-topological arguments, an index theorem for symmetric tensors on Riemannian surfaces, and some aspects of the classical Poincaré-Bendixson theory.
A degenerate dynamical system is characterized by a state-dependent multiplier of the time derivative of the state in the time evolution equation. It can give rise to Hamiltonian systems whose symplectic structure possesses a non-constant rank throughout the phase space. Around points where the multiplier becomes singular, flow can experience abrupt and irreversible changes. We introduce a topological index for degenerate dynamical systems around these {\it degeneracy points} and show that it refines and extends the usual topological index in accordance with the Poincaré-Hopf Theorem.
Let $f$ be an orientation and area preserving diffeomorphism of an oriented surface $M$ with an isolated degenerate fixed point $z_0$ with Lefschetz index one. Le Roux conjectured that $z_0$ is accumulated by periodic orbits. In this article, we will approach Le Roux's conjecture by proving that if $f$ is isotopic to the identity by an isotopy fixing $z_0$ and if the area of $M$ is finite, then $z_0$ is accumulated not only by periodic points, but also by periodic orbits in the measure sense. More precisely, the Dirac measure at $z_0$ is the limit in weak-star topology of a sequence of invaria…
The aim of this paper is to explore the possibilities of Conley index techniques in the study of heteroclinic connections between finite and infinite invariant sets. For this, we remind the reader of the Poincaré compactification: this transformation allows to project a $n$-dimensional vector space $X$ on the $n$-dimensional unit hemisphere of $X\times \mathbb{R}$ and infinity on its $(n-1)$-dimensional equator called the sphere at infinity. Under normalizability condition, vector fields on $X$ transform into vector fields on the Poincaré hemisphere whose associated flows let the equator invar…
This article includes an almost self-contained exposition on the discrete Conley index and its duality. We work with a local homeomorphism of $\mathds{R}^d$ and an invariant and isolated acyclic continuum, such as a cellular set or a fixed point. In this setting, we obtain a complete description of the first discrete homological Conley index, which is periodic, that enforces a combinatorial behavior of higher indices. As a consequence, we prove that isolated (as an invariant set) fixed points of orientation-reversing homeomorphisms of $\mathds{R}^3$ have fixed point index $\le 1$ and, as a cor…
In this paper we introduce filtration pairs for isolated invariant sets of continuous maps. We prove the existence of filtration pairs and show that, up to shift equivalence, the induced map on the corresponding pointed space is an invariant of the isolated invariant set. Moreover, the maps defining the shift equivalence can be chosen canonically. Lastly, we define partially ordered Morse decompositions and prove the existence of Morse set filtrations for such decompositions.
We study a non-autonomous parabolic equation with almost-periodic, rapidly oscillating principal part and nonlinear interactions. We associate to the equation a skew-product semiflow and, for a special class of nonlinearities, we define the Conley index of an isolated invariant set. As the frequency of the oscillations tends to infinity, we prove that every isolated invariant set of the averaged autonomous equation can be continued to an isolated invariant set of the skew-product semiflow associated to the non-autonomous equation. Finally, we illustrate some examples in which the Conley index …
Attractor-repeller decompositions of isolated invariant sets give rise to so-called connecting homomorphisms. These homomorphisms reveal information on the existence and structure of connecting trajectories of the underlying dynamical system. To give a meaningful generalization of this general principle to nonautonomous problems, the nonautonomous homology Conley index is expressed as a direct limit. Moreover, it is shown that a nontrivial connecting homomorphism implies, on the dynamical systems level, a sort of uniform connectedness of the attractor-repeller decomposition.
The Conley index of an isolated invariant set is a fundamental object in the study of dynamical systems. Here we consider smooth functions on closed submanifolds of Euclidean space and describe a framework for inferring the Conley index of any compact, connected isolated critical set of such a function with high confidence from a sufficiently large finite point sample. The main construction of this paper is a specific index pair which is local to the critical set in question. We establish that these index pairs have positive reach and hence admit a sampling theory for robust homology inference…
Theorems on the existence of vector fields with given sets of Indexes of isolated Singular points are proved for the cases of closed manifolds, pairs of manifolds, manifolds with boundary, and gradient fields. It is proved that, on a two-dimensional manifold, an index of an isolated Singular point of the gradient field is not greater than one.
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-continuous random dynamical systems and the corresponding time-$h$ maps. For applications we give several examples to illustrate our results.

In this paper we study the cohomological Conley index of arbitrary isolated invariant continua for continuous maps $f \colon U \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d \to \mathbb{R}^d$ by analyzing the topological structure of their unstable manifold. We provide a simple dynamical interpretation for the first cohomological Conley index, describing it completely, and relate it to the cohomological Conley index in higher degrees. A number of consequences are derived, including new computations of the fixed point indices of isolated invariant continua in dimensions 2 and 3. Our approach exploits certain attractor…
