Homotopy invariants methods in the global dynamics of strongly damped   wave equation
  We are interested in the following differential equation $\ddot u(t) = -A u(t) - c A \dot u(t) + \lambda u(t) + F(u(t))$ where $c > 0$ is a damping factor, $A$ is a sectorial operator and $F$ is a continuous map. We consider the situation where the equation is at resonance at infinity, which means that $\lambda$ is an eigenvalue of $A$ and $F$ is a bounded map. We provide geometrical conditions for the nonlinearity $F$ and determine the Conley index of the set $K_\infty$, that is the union of the bounded orbits of this equation.
