Abstract

We prove that when subjected to periodic forcing of the form pμ,\rh,\om(t)=μ(\rhh(x,y)+sin(\omt))p_{\mu, \rh, \om} (t) = \mu (\rh h(x,y) + \sin (\om t)), certain second order systems of differential equations with dissipative homoclinic loops admit strange attractors with SRB measures for a set of forcing parameters (μ,\rh,\om)(\mu, \rh, \om) of positive measure. Our proof applies the recent theory of rank one maps, developed by Wang and Young based on the analysis of strongly dissipative H\'enon maps by Benedicks and Carleson.
