The Conley index is a double-edged sword : if it is ever shown to be nontrivial, then this implies the existence of an orbit which stays in the isolating neighborhood for all time ; in this sense it gives an existence theorem. On the other hand, being a Morse-type index, it also carries stability information concerning the isolated invariant set. In this chapter we shall illustrate both of these properties for a special class of solutions of partial differential equations called travelling waves.
