Extract

In this paper we give a description of the qualitative behaviour of the orbits near a non-trivial compact minimal set of a continuous flow on a 2-manifold. The first results in this direction were obtained in [1] and the present paper can be regarded as a continuation of that work. The main result can be stated as follows:

Theorem 1·1. Let (ℝ, M, f) be a continuous flow on a 2-manifold M and A ⊂ M a non-trivial compact minimal set.
