Conley Index Theory for Hybrid Systems

Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: We define a homological Conley index for a class of hybrid dynamical systems. This is achieved by factoring through the hybrid suspension semiflow, which views a class of hybrid dynamics as a continuous semiflow. We establish that this invariant is well-defined, invariant under continuation, and satisfies the Ważewski property and other reconstruction results. We compute the index for several examples, showcasing how classical reconstruction theorems apply in this setting to characterize hybrid dynamics.
