The Conley index theory is a powerful topological tool for obtaining information about invariant sets in continuous dynamical systems. A key feature of Conley theory is that the index is robust under perturbation; given a continuous family…
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…
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…
This paper concerns the computation and identification of the (homological) Conley index over the integers, in the context of discrete dynamical systems generated by continuous maps. We discuss the significance with respect to nonlinear…
A theorem on computation of the homological Conley index of an isolated invariant set of the Poincar\'e map associated to a section in a rotating local dynamical system $\phi$ is proved. Let $(N,L)$ be an index pair for a discretization…
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…
In this paper we introduce a new compactness condition - Property (C) - for flows in (not necessary locally compact) metric spaces. For such flows a Conley type theory can be developed. For example (regular) index pairs always exist for…
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…
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…
We develop Conley's theory for multivalued maps on finite topological spaces. More precisely, for discrete-time dynamical systems generated by the iteration of a multivalued map which satisfies appropriate regularity conditions, we…
This paper gives the definition of the Conley index for a piecewise continuous map, which is only well defined on compatible isolating neighborhoods with Wazewski property slightly weaker than continuous situation.
In this article, we show the existence of an isolating block, a special neighborhood of an isolated invariant set, for multivalued semiflows acting on metric spaces (not locally compact). Isolating blocks play an important role in Conley's…
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…
This is a self-contained tour of the Conley index and connection matrices. The starting point is Conley's fundamental theorem of dynamical systems. There is a short stop at the necessary topological background, before we proceed to the…
In a previous work, the author established a nonautonomous Conley index based on the interplay between a nonautonomous evolution operator and its skew-product formulation. This index is refined to obtain a Conley index for families of…
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 Poincar\'e compactification: this…

In this paper, we apply Conley index theory in a covering space of an invariant set $S$, possibly not isolated, in order to describe the dynamics in $S$. More specifically, we consider the action of the covering translation group in order…
