We consider flows on a closed surface with one or more heteroclinic cycles that divide the surface into two regions. One of the region has gradient dynamics, like Morse fields. The other region has Hamiltonian dynamics generated by the field of the skew gradient of the simple Morse function. We construct the complete topological invariant of the flow using the Reeb and Oshemkov-Shark graphs and study its properties. We describe all possible structures of optimal flows with collective dynamics on oriented surfaces of genus no more than 2, both for flows containing a center and for flows without it.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
