We already know a great deal about dynamical systems with uniqueness in forward time. Indeed, flows, semiflows, and maps (both invertible and not) have been studied at length. A view that has proven particularly fruitful is topological:…
Symbolic dynamics is partly the study of walks in a directed graph. By a walk, here we mean a morphism to the graph from the Cayley graph of the monoid of non-negative integers. Sets of these walks are also important in other areas, such as…
For Morse-Smale pairs on a smooth, closed manifold the Morse-Smale-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…
In topology, one averages over local geometrical details to reveal robust global features. This approach proves crucial for understanding quantized bulk transport and exotic boundary effects of linear wave propagation in (meta-)materials.…
The aim of this paper is to study dynamical and topological properties of a flow in the region of influence of an isolated non-saddle set. We see, in particular, that some topological conditions are sufficient to guarantee that these sets…
A theorem is established where the computation of the discrete Conley index for zero dimensional basic sets is given with respect to the dynamical information contained in the associated structure matrices. A classification of the reduced…
The analysis of global dynamics, particularly the identification and characterization of attractors and their regions of attraction, is essential for complex nonlinear and hybrid systems. Combinatorial methods based on Conley's index theory…
In this paper we investigate Deep Learning Models using topological dynamical systems, index theory, and computational homology. These mathematical machinery was invented initially by Henri Poincare around 1900 and developed over time to…
In this paper, we study Conley theory in Hilbert spaces and make some refinement of the construction of the stable Conley index developed by G\c{e}ba, Izydorek, and Pruszko. For instance, we allow subspaces other than invariant subspaces in…
This is an expository paper about Seiberg-Witten Floer stable homotopy types. We outline their construction, which is based on the Conley index and finite dimensional approximation. We then describe several applications, including the…
We study a wide class of topological free-fermion systems on a hypercubic lattice in spatial dimensions $d\ge 1$. When the Fermi level lies in a spectral gap or a mobility gap, the topological properties, e.g., the integral quantization of…
Multivector fields provide an avenue for studying continuous dynamical systems in a combinatorial framework. There are currently two approaches in the literature which use persistent homology to capture changes in combinatorial dynamical…
In Conley index theory one may study an invariant set $S$ by decomposing it into an attractor $A$, a repeller $R$, and the orbits connecting the two. The Conley indices of $S$, $A$ and $R$ fit into an exact sequence where a certain…
We are interested in the following differential equation $\ddot u(t) = -A u(t) - c A \dot u(t) + \lambda u(t) + F(u(t))$ where $c > 0$ is a damping factor, $A$ is a sectorial operator and $F$ is a continuous map. We consider the situation…
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…
"Concurrence topology" (Ellis and Klein \emph{Homology, Homotopy, and Applications,} \textbf{16}) is a TDA method for binary data. The idea is to construct a filtration consisting of Dowker complexes then compute persistent homology.…
Conley indices and Morse decompositions of flows can be found by using algorithms which rigorously analyze discrete dynamical systems. This usually involves integrating a time discretization of the flow using interval arithmetic. We compare…
We define a new version of Topological Complexity (TC) of a space, denoted as $\text{dTC}$, which, we think, fits better for motion planning for some autonomous systems. Like Topological complexity, \text{dTC} is also a homotopy invariant.…
We construct algorithms and topological invariants that allow us to distinguish the topological type of a surface, as well as functions and vector fields for their topological equivalence. In the first part (arXiv:2501.15657), we discused…
