Continuation sheaves in dynamics: Sheaf cohomology and bifurcation
No full textAlgebraic structures such as the lattices of attractors, repellers, and Morse representations provide a computable description of global dynamics. In this paper, a sheaf-theoretic approach to their continuation is developed. The algebraic structures are cast into a categorical framework to study their continuation systematically and simultaneously. Sheaves are built from this abstract formulation, which track the algebraic data as systems vary. Sheaf cohomology is computed for several classical bifurcations, demonstrating its ability to detect and classify bifurcations.</p
Homotopy invariance of the Conley index and local Morse homology in Hilbert spaces
No full textIn 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 Property-(C) flows and a Conley index can be defined. An important class of flows satisfying the this compactness condition are LS-flows. We apply E-cohomology to index pairs of LS-flows and obtain the E-cohomological Conley index. We formulate a continuation principle for the E-cohomological Conley index and show that all LS-flows can be continued to LS-gradient flows. We show that the Morse homology of LS-gradient flows computes the E-cohomological Conley index. We use Lyapunov functions to define the Morse–Conley–Floer cohomology in this context, and show that it is also isomorphic to the E-cohomological Conley index
Slow motion in higher-order systems and -convergence in one space dimension
No full textThe slow motion in higher-order systems and Γ-convergence in one space dimension was studied. Some of the theorems and computations that support and proves the stability of the equations are presented
