SynopsisWe present a purely combinatorial procedure for finding an isolating neighbourhood and an index pair contained in a given set, being a finite union of cubes in Rs. It is applied for a computer-assisted computation of the Conley index of an isolated invariant subset of the Hénon attractor. As a corollary, it is shown that the Hénon attractor contains periodic orbits of all principal periods except for 3 and 5.

AbstractWe announce a new result on determining the Conley index of the Poincaré map for a time-periodic non-autonomous ordinary differential equation. The index is computed using some singular cycles related to an index pair of a small-step discretization of the equation. We indicate how the result can be applied to computer-assisted proofs of the existence of bounded and periodic solutions. We provide also some comments on computer-assisted proving in dynamics.

This study employs topological methods to extract unstable fixed points in phase space from both numerical and experimental time series data. Conley index of an isolated invariant subset and the R-B method can determine unstable fixed points contained in strange attractor from numerical time series data. For experimental time series data, the theorem for the relationship between index pairs and Conley index enables one to predict them with acceptable accuracy. As a corollary, some results for Duffing oscillator and piecewise linear system are shown.

Let φ:D2→D2 be an orientation preserving homeomorphism of the disk into itself, and Φ= {φt}0≤t≤1 an isotopy with φ0=idD2 and φ1=φ. Then for a finite union of periodic orbits P of φ, the set [Formula: see text] is a link in D2×S1. We say that φ induces all link types (for Φ) if there exists a homeomorphism h of D2×S1 into a standardly embedded solid torus in the 3-sphere S3 such that any link L in S3 can be realized by a finite union of periodic orbits PL of φ so that L and [Formula: see text] are equivalent. We will show that the Smale horseshoe and its second power do not induce all link types, but its third power does induce all link types.
