The Connection Matrix Theory for Morse Decompositions
نویسندگان
چکیده
The connection matrix theory for Morse decompositions is introduced. The connection matrices are matrices of maps between the homology indices of the sets in the Morse decomposition. The connection matrices cover, in a natural way, the homology index braid of the Morse decomposition and provide information about the structure of the Morse decomposition. The existence of connection matrices of Morse decompositions is established, and examples illustrating applications of the connection matrix are provided.

Simplification of Morse Decompositions Using Morse Set Mergers
A common problem of vector field topology algorithms is the large number of the resulting topological features. This paper describes a method to simplify Morse decompositions by iteratively merging pairs of Morse sets that are adjacent in the Morse Connection Graph (MCG). When Morse sets A and B are merged, they are replaced by a single Morse set, that can be thought of as the union of A, B and...
متن کاملA Natural Order in Dynamical Systems Based on Conley-markov Matrix
We introduce a new concept called natural order to study properties of dynamical systems, especially their invariant sets. The concept is based on the classical Conley index theory and transition probabilities between neighborhoods of different invariant sets when random perturbations are added to the dynamical systems. The transition probabilities can be determined by Fokker-Planck equations a...
متن کاملAttractor-repeller pair, Morse decomposition and Lyapunov function for random dynamical systems
In the stability theory of dynamical systems, Lyapunov functions play a fundamental role. In this paper, we study the attractor-repeller pair decomposition and Morse decomposition for compact metric space in the random setting. In contrast to [8], by introducing slightly stronger definitions of random attractor and repeller, we characterize attractor-repeller pair decompositions and Morse decom...
متن کاملSzymczak: Hierarchy of Stable Morse Decompositions
We introduce an algorithm for construction of the Morse hierarchy, i.e. a hierarchy of Morse decompositions of a piecewise constant vector field on a surface driven by stability of the Morse sets with respect to perturbation of the vector field. Our approach builds upon earlier work on stable Morse decompositions, which can be used to obtain Morse sets of user-prescribed stability. More stable ...
متن کاملConnected Cerf Theory
We review the theory of Cerf describing the decomposition of cobordisms into elementary cobordisms, and the Cerf moves between different decompositions. We put special emphasis on connectedness and define Cerf decompositions as decompositions of morphisms in the category of connected manifolds and connected cobordisms. In addition, we discuss the cyclic Cerf theory of Morse functions to S. Prel...
