Homology and dynamical systems : (expository lectures from the CBMS regional conference ; Atlanta - Ga., August 18-22, 1980)

These lectures give a clear and unified exposition of a major area of current research on the connections between dynamics and topology, treating the fundamental problem--what dynamics can occur in a prescribed homological setting--via algebraic chain complexes derived from the unstable manifold decomposition of dynamics. Presents research on the connections between dynamics and topology, treating the fundamental problem - what dynamics can occur in a prescribed homological setting - via algebraic chain complexes derived from the unstable manifold decomposition of dynamics.
