A Classification of Kupka-Smale Flows on the Torus

Abstract

dc:description

This thesis presents a classification up to topological equivalence of those flows on the torus satisfying: (1) all singular points and closed orbits are hyperbolic; and (2) there are no saddle connections. Such flows are known as Kupka-Smale flows. In the process of generating invariants for the classification a qualitative picture is produced describing the structure of such flows in the case that they possess a limit set which is neither a singular point nor a closed orbit.
