Subshifts of finite type 5 For a k k matrix A = (A ij ) over Z 2 put Σ(A) := { α Σ k i ZA α(i)α(i+1) = 1 } Σ(A) is invariant under the shift map σ (Σ(A), σ Σ(A) ) - subshift of finite type Theorem. h(σ(a)) = log(λ(a))

Lorenz equations: classical parameter values 6 Theorem. (K. Mischaikow, A. Szymczak, MM, 2001) Consider the Lorenz equations and the plane P := {(x, y, z) z = 27}. For all parameter values in a sufficiently small neighborhood of (σ, R, b) = (28, 10, 8/3) there exists a Poincaré section N P such that the associated Poincaré map is Lipschitz and well defined. Furthermore, for 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 A := 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 there is a continuous surjection ρ : Inv(N, g) Σ(A) such that ρ g = σ ρ. In particular h(inv(n, g)) 0.48 Moreover, for every α Σ(A) which is periodic there exists an x Inv(N, g) on a periodic trajectory such that ρ(x) = α.

Hénon map 8 Consider the Hénon map h : R 2 R 2 given by the formula h(x, y) := (1 + y/5 ax 2, 5bx) at the classical parameter values a = 1.4 and b = 0.2. Theorem. (T. Kaczynski, K. Mischaikow, MM, 2004) Let S be the maximal invariant subset of the union of constructed connected components C j. Then there exists a semiconjugacy with a subshift of finite type on 8 symbols and topological entropy h = 0.28 such that for each periodic sequence θ Σ A with period p ρ 1 (θ) contains a periodic orbit with period p. In particular h(s) 0.28. Theorem. (S. Day, R. Frongilo, R. Trevino, 2009) The classical Hénon map admits an isolated invariant set S semiconjugated to a subshift on 129 symbols and h(s) 0.42.

Infinite dimensional dynamics 11 Kot-Schaffer growth-dispersal model for plants Φ : L 2 ([ π, π]) Φ : L 2 ([ π, π]) is given by where µ > 0. Via Fourier expansion the map is replaced by a map acting on an infinite sequence of Fourier coefficients By the method of the self-consistent apriori bounds (P. Zgliczyński, K. Mischaikow, 2001) the study of dynamics is reduced to a discrete dynamical system in R 1 1.

Infinite dimensional dynamics 12 Theorem. Kot-Schaffer system admits a stationary solution p and a 2-periodic solution q in the ball of radius 10 11 in L 2 and C 0 norms respectively around the functions p and q whose non-zero Fourier coefficients are given above. Moreover, there exists a heteroclinic connection running from a neighborhood of p to a neighborhood of q.

K d δ := δk d a δ-rescalling of K d for some δ > 0 τi d := (τ i, τ i+1,..., τ i+d 1 ) Θ τ d := { τ i d 1 i n d + 1 } X τ := { Q K d δ Q Θ τ d } F : X τ X τ given by Q { P X τ τi d Q and τi+1 d P for some 1 i n d }

Morse decompositions 24 S an isolated invariant set of F A Morse decomposition of S is a finite collection M(S) = { M(p) S p P } of disjoint isolated invariant sets of F, called Morse sets, which are indexed by the set P on which there exists a partial order >, called an admissible order, such that for every (x, λ) S \ p P M(p) and any trajectory γ of F through (x, λ) in S there exist indices p > q such that under F ω(γ) M(q) and α(γ) M(p). Morse graph of M(S) is an oriented graph with vertices in P and edges given by minimal relations p > q Conley-Morse graph a Morse graph labeled at vertices by the Conley indices of the respective isolated invariant sets

Morse decompositions 25 Morse decomposition and the Morse graph of an isolated invariant set S.

Morse decompositions 26 X K d δ a finite subfamily F a combinatorial enclosure of F S an invariant set of F A combinatorial Morse decomposition of S is a collection { M(p) S p P } of disjoint minimal invariant sets of F, called combinatorial Morse sets. Note that there is a natural partial order > on P given by p > q iff there exists a finite trajectory from an element of M(p) to an element of M(q)

Morse decompositions 27 Assumptions: X = X for some X K d δ Λ = Q for some Q K q δ S := Inv(B, F ) an isolated invariant set of F for some isolating neighborhood B X Λ for each Q Q the set B Q := X ( λ Q B λ) satisfies SQ = Inv ( B Q Q, F Q ) Theorem. Let Q Q and let {M Q (p) p ( P Q } be the combinatorial Morse decomposition for F Q. If F Q MQ (p) ) B Q for all p P Q, then the Morse graph for the combinatorial Morse decomposition is the Morse graph for the Morse decomposition of S Q defined by M(S Q ) := { Inv ( M Q (p) Q, F Q ) p P Q }. Moreover, each M Q (p) is an isolating neighborhood for Inv M Q (p).

Databases for the global dynamics of multiparameter systems 28 For P, Q Q such that P Q put R := { (p, q) P P P Q M P (p) M q (Q) }. If R is a graph isomorphism, then we say that P and Q share a Morse graph The equivalence classes with respect to the transitive closure of this relation are called continuation classes. Theorem. The Conley-Morse graphs in the same continuation class coincide. The continuation graph consists of the continuation classes as vertices with edges joining two classes [P ] and [Q] iff there exist P 0 [P ] and Q 0 [Q] such that P 0 Q 0. The continuation graph constitutes a database which captures the types of dynamics detectable in the parametrized dynamical system at a given level of resolution.
