An algorithmic approach to the Conley index theory. (English) Zbl 0941.37004

The paper is devoted to the following questions:
(1) Can the techniques which were developed to prove chaos in the Lorenz system be applied to other problems in differential equations?
(2) For a given continuous dynamical system and a compact set, is it possible to verify in finite time whether the set is an isolating neighborhood?
To this end the author introduces a class of representable sets and multivalued representable maps which may be performed by an algorithm. Using these objects the author investigates questions (1) and (2) mentioned above.
