The Conley Index and Rigorous Numerics
The Conley index is a topological invariant of isolated invariant sets, invented by C. Conley and his students in early 70’s. The theory originated from the paper on existence of smooth isolating blocks by Conley and Easton [5]. The first concept of the i

PREFACE
The theory of ordinary differential equations has received a strong impulse by the introduction of some methods from Nonlinear Analysis (like, e.g., fixed point theorems, degree theory, topological invariants, variational methods) and the study of boundary value problems for ODEs is, at present, a rich area full of significant achievements, both from the theoretical and the applied sides. This volume concerns the study of some boundary value problems for nonlinear ordinary differential equations, using topological or variational methods, with a special emphasis also on the so-called qualitative (or geometric) approach in the theory of ordinary differential equations, making use of a broad collection of techniques coming from Analysis and Topology which are addressed to the study of ODEs. In this book, the study of more classical boundary value problems for ordinary differential equations (like the periodic or the Sturm- Liouville ones) which represent the main interest of a wide number of researchers in the world, is accompanied by the presentation of some recent results dealing with other interesting and more atypical BVPs. In particular, there are new contributions to the study of bounded solutions and to the presentation of some very recent approaches yielding to a rigorous proof of the presence of chaotic motions. The aspect of numerical treat
