Abstract: Let (U subset {mathbb R}^3) be an open set and (f:U o f(U) subset {mathbb R}^3) be a homeomorphism. Let (p in U) be a fixed point. It is known that, if ({p}) is not an isolated invariant set, the sequence of the fixed point indices of the iterates of (f) at (p), ((i(f^n,p))_{ngeq 1}), is, in general, unbounded. The main goal of this paper is to show that when ({p}) is an isolated invariant set, the sequence ((i(f^n,p))_{ngeq 1}) is periodic. Conversely, we show that for any periodic sequence of integers ((I_n)_{n geq1}) satisfying Dold's necessary congruences, there exists an orientation preserving homeomorphism such that (i(f^n,p)=I_n) for every (ngeq 1). Finally we also present an application to the study of the local structure of the stable/unstable sets at (p).
