N-Homoclinic bifurcations for homoclinic orbits changing their twisting

Journal of Dynamics and Differential Equations, 1996
The author considers two-parameter families of vector fields possessing a homoclinic orbit along a path in the parameter plane. These homoclinic orbits are homoclinic to a hyperbolic singularity that has a one-dimensional unstable manifold. The weakest stable and unstable eigenvalues of the linearized vector field at the singularity are supposed to be ...

Conventional multipliers for homoclinic orbits

Nonlinearity, 1996
Summary: We introduce and describe conventional multipliers, a new characteristic of homoclinic orbits of saddle-node type periodic trajectories. We prove existence and smooth dependence of conventional multipliers on the initial point. We show that multipliers of periodic trajectories arising from the homoclinic ones as a result of the saddle-node ...

Differential Equations with Bifocal Homoclinic Orbits

International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos, 1997
Global bifurcation theory can be used to understand complicated bifurcation phenomena in families of differential equations. There are many theoretical results relating to systems having a homoclinic orbit biasymptotic to a stationary point at some value of the parameters, and these results depend upon the eigenvalues of the Jacobian matrix of the ...

Existence of optimal homoclinic orbits

2008 American Control Conference, 2008
The problem of optimal periodic control is considered from a geometric point of view. The objective is to determine the conditions under which a given optimal control problem admits a homoclinic orbit as an extremal solution. The analysis is performed on the Hamiltonian dynamical system obtained from the application of Pontryagin Maximum Principle ...

HOMOCLINIC ORBITS FOR 3−DIMENSIONAL SYSTEMS

SUT Journal of Mathematics, 1995
The bifurcation problem of a homoclinic loop for a three-dimensional system of ordinary differential equations is considered. Assuming that a system \[ \dot x= F(x, \mu)\qquad (F(0,\mu)= 0),\tag{1} \] where \(x\in \mathbb{R}^3\), \(\mu\in \mathbb{R}^m\) \((m\geq 3)\) is a parameter, \(F: \mathbb{R}^3\times \mathbb{R}^m\to \mathbb{R}^3\) is \(C^2\), has

Homoclinic/heteroclinic recurrent orbits and horseshoe

Journal of Differential Equations
In this paper, the authors consider systems of ODEs \[ \dot z = g(z) + \mu h(t,z,\mu) \] with a small parameter \(\mu \in \mathbb{R}\). Assuming that for \(\mu=0\) the system has a solution \(\xi(t)\) that is homoclinic to a hyperbolic saddle point \(z_0\), as well as some other technical hypotheses, they show that for small non-zero \(|\mu|\) there is

CONSTRUCTING HOMOCLINIC ORBITS AND CHAOTIC ATTRACTORS

International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos, 1994
Homoclinic orbits and chaotic attractors are constructed progressively by singular perturbations. More specifically, lower dimensional slow subsystems and fast subsystems are constructed separately as building blocks. The former are then modulated onto the latter via homotopy.

Homoclinic orbits to parabolic points

Nonlinear Differential Equations and Applications, 1997
This paper concerns non-Hamiltonian perturbations of Hamiltonian systems. Using Poincaré-Melnikov method, orbits which are homoclinic to degenerate periodic orbits of parabolic type are studied, specially the existence of transversal homoclinic points. The method used in this paper is related to a work of \textit{E.

Periodic Orbits Near Homoclinic Orbits

1982
It is known that the orbit-structure of a dynamical system near a homoclinic orbit γ is extremely complicated. However, it is only recently that this complicated structure has begun to be understood. It has been shown (under some hypotheses) that, near γ there are infinitely many long periodic orbits. The flow, near γ, admits a singular Poincare map o:
