Resumo

In this paper, we define the Conley index h(D) for a region of discontinuity D of a piecewise C(k) discontinuous vector field Z on an n-dimensional compact Riemannian smooth orientable manifold and prove it to be a homotopy invariant. This invariance is obtained by regularization of the discontinuous vector field. We use an adapted form of Lyapunov graph continuation to produce, in a few examples, a regularization of the discontinuous vector field with the property that the dynamics in a regularized neighborhood of D has the same Conley index as h(D).
