Notes on Chain Recurrence and Lyapunonv Functions
Abstract
This short expository note provides an introduction to the concept of chain recurrence in topological dynamics and a proof of the existence complete Lyapunov functions for homeomorphisms of compact metric spaces due to Charles Conley. I have used it as supplementary material in introductory dynamics courses.
