Abstract

We prove the existence of a continuous Morse energy function for an arbitrary topological flow with finite hyperbolic (in topological sense) chain recurrent set on a topological manifold of any dimension. This result is a partial solution of the Morse problem of existence of continuous Morse functions on any topological manifolds. Namely, we prove that a topological manifold admits a continuous Morse function if it admits a topological flow with finite hyperbolic chain recurrent set.
