In this paper the Poincaré–Hopf inequalities are shown to be necessary and sufficient conditions for an abstract Lyapunov graph L to be continued to an abstract Lyapunov graph of Morse type. The Lyapunov graphs considered may represent smooth flows on closed orientable n-manifolds, n \geq 2. The continuation which is presented by means of a constructive algorithm, is shown to be unique in dimensions two and three. In all other dimensions, the exact number of possible continuations of L are presented.
