Abstract:
 
 In this article, we present a geometric framework to study invariant
 sets of dynamical systems associated with differential equations.
 This framework is based on properties of invariant sets for
 an area functional. We obtain existence results
 for heteroclinic and periodic orbits. We also implement this
 approach numerically by means of the steepest descent method.
