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…
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…
Some properties of random Conley index are obtained and then a sufficient condition for the existence of abstract bifurcation points for both discrete-time and continuous-time random dynamical systems is presented. This stochastic…
This article represents a major step in the unification of the theory of algebraic, topological and singular transition matrices by introducing a definition which is a generalization that encompasses all of the previous three. When this…
We establish a Sharkovskii-type theorem for a class of discrete random dynamical systems via the random Conley index. Using the continuation property of the Conley index, we extend classical forcing results to random systems obtained from…
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…
In this paper, we prove a Morse index theorem for the index form of regular Lagrangian system with selfadjoint boundary condition.
Connection matrices are one of the central tools in Conley's approach to the study of dynamical systems, as they provide information on the existence of connecting orbits in Morse decompositions. They may be considered a generalisation of…
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…
We prove a Morse index theorem for action functionals on paths that are allowed to reflect at a hypersurface (either in the interior or at the boundary of a manifold). Both fixed and periodic boundary conditions are treated.
A combinatorial framework for dynamical systems provides an avenue for connecting classical dynamics with data-oriented, algorithmic methods. Combinatorial vector fields introduced by Forman and their recent generalization to multivector…
We prove a generalization of the Conley conjecture: Every Hamiltonian diffeomorphism of a closed symplectic manifold has infinitely many periodic orbits if the first Chern class vanishes over the second fundamental group. In particular, we…
We generalize and extend the Conley-Morse-Forman theory for combinatorial multivector fields introduced in \cite{Mr2017}. The generalization consists in dropping the restrictive assumption in \cite{Mr2017} that every multivector has a…
In a dynamical system $(X,f)$, with $X$ a compact metric space, the chain components, the fundamental building blocks in the Conley decomposition of dynamics, have a natural partial order induced by the chain relation between points.…
This paper introduces a reformulation of the classical convergence theorem for spectral sequences of filtered complexes which provides an algorithm to effectively compute the induced filtration on the total (co)homology, as soon as the…
The Conley theory has a tool to guarantee the existence of periodic trajectories in isolating neighborhoods of semi-dynamical systems. We prove that the positive trajectories generated by a piecewise-smooth vector field $Z=(X, Y)$ defined…
Geometric Singular Perturbation Theory (GSPT) and Conley Index Theory are two powerful techniques to analyze dynamical systems. Conley already realized that using his index is easier for singular perturbation problems. In this paper, 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…
