Abstract

Let be an attractor network for a dynamical system ft: M → M, indexed by the lower sets of a partially ordered set P. Our main theorem asserts the existence of a Lyapunov map ψ:M → K(P) which defines the attractor network. This result is used to prove the existence of connection matrices for discrete-time dynamical systems.
