Take M , a finite-dimensional differentiable manifold, and f : M → R a smooth function. Such a function f is called a Morse function if it has no degenerate critical points. Morse theory allows us to connect the topology, in particular the homotopy type, of M with the behavior of f on M . In the following sections, we will state and prove two important theorems in Morse theory. Using these two ...

Morse decomposition has been shown a reliable way to compute and represent vector field topology. Its computation first converts the original vector field into a directed graph representation, so that flow recurrent dynamics (i.e., Morse sets) can be identified as some strongly connected components of the graph. In this paper, we present a framework that enables the user to efficiently compute ...

Morse inequalities for diffeomorphisms of a compact manifold were first proved by Smale [21] under the assumption that the nonwandering set is finite. We call these the integral Morse inequalities. They were generalized by Zeeman in an unpublished work cited in [25] to diffeomorphisms with a hyperbolic chain recurrent set that is axiom-A-diffeomorphisms which satisfy the no cycle condition. For...

We consider a parametric Neumann problem with an indefinite and unbounded potential. Using a combination of critical point theory with truncation techniques and with Morse theory, we produce four nontrivial smooth weak solutions: one positive, one negative and two nodal (sign changing).

*Correspondence: [email protected] School of Mathematics and Physics, University of South China, Hengyang, P.R. China Abstract In this paper, we study a class of biharmonic equations with a singular potential inRN . Under appropriate assumptions on the nonlinearity, we establish some existence results via the Morse theory and variational methods. We significantly extend and complement some re...

A method is presented for solving the Bloch equation for Morse potential, based on the application of Fourier transformation of the density matrix. The results obtained agree completely with the results obtained by other methods, however its advantage lies in its elegance and intuitivity of the approach. q 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Within the framework of the q-deformed Heisenberg algebra a dynamical equation of q-deformed quantum mechanics is discussed. The perturbative aspects of the q-deformed Schrödinger equation are analyzed. General representations of the additional momentum-dependent interaction originating from the q-deformed effects are presented in two approaches. As examples, such additional interactions relate...

We develop the idea of self-indexing and the technology of gradient-like vector fields in the setting of Morse theory on a complex algebraic stratification. Our main result is the local existence, near a Morse critical point, of gradientlike vector fields satisfying certain “stratified dimension bounds up to fuzz” for the ascending and descending sets. As a global consequence of this, we derive...

We investigate an extension of the Perard and Bishop (PB) model. In the studied model we get a harmonic one dimensional lattice chain with an additional Morse potential on site. The rotation and vibration motion of each component of the lattice are considered and the coupling for these motions is introduced by a resonance condition. Thermodynamics and structural properties of the system are exp...
