B. Gunther et J. Segal, EVERY ATTRACTOR OF A FLOW ON A MANIFOLD HAS THE SHAPE OF A FINITE POLYHEDRON, Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, 119(1), 1993, pp. 321-329
It is shown that the class of compacta which can occur as attractors o
f continuous flows on topological manifolds coincides with the class o
f finite dimensional compacta having the shape of a finite polyhedron.
