Chaos near a reversible homoclinic bifocus

Dynamical Systems 2019-07-03 v2

Abstract

We show that any neighborhood of a non-degenerate reversible bifocal homoclinic orbit contains chaotic suspended invariant sets on NN-symbols for all N2N\geq 2. This will be achieved by showing switching associated with networks of secondary homoclinic orbits. We also prove the existence of super-homoclinic orbits (trajectories homoclinic to a network of homoclinic orbits), whose presence leads to a particularly rich structure.
