Conley's Fundamental Theorem Of Dynamical Systems
Conley's fundamental theorem of dynamical systems or Conley's decomposition theorem states that every flow of a dynamical system with Compact space, compact phase portrait admits a decomposition into a chain-recurrent part and a gradient-like flow part. Due to the concise yet complete description of many dynamical systems, Conley's theorem is also known as the fundamental theorem of dynamical systems. Conley's fundamental theorem has been extended to systems with non-compact phase portraits and also to hybrid dynamical systems. Complete Lyapunov functions Conley's decomposition is characterized by a function known as complete Lyapunov function. Unlike traditional Lyapunov functions that are used to assert the stability of an equilibrium point (or a fixed point) and can be defined only on the basin of attraction of the corresponding attractor, complete Lyapunov functions must be defined on the whole phase-portrait. In the particular case of an autonomous differential equation defin ...

Dynamical System
In mathematics, a dynamical system is a system in which a Function (mathematics), function describes the time dependence of a Point (geometry), point in an ambient space, such as in a parametric curve. Examples include the mathematical models that describe the swinging of a clock pendulum, fluid dynamics, the flow of water in a pipe, the Brownian motion, random motion of particles in the air, and population dynamics, the number of fish each springtime in a lake. The most general definition unifies several concepts in mathematics such as ordinary differential equations and ergodic theory by allowing different choices of the space and how time is measured. Time can be measured by integers, by real number, real or complex numbers or can be a more general algebraic object, losing the memory of its physical origin, and the space may be a manifold or simply a Set (mathematics), set, without the need of a Differentiability, smooth space-time structure defined on it. At any given time, ...
