Abstract
Shilnikov's scenario in 3D consists of a vectorfield so that the equation with has a solution homoclinic to the origin and the eigenvalues of are and , , with . We give a detailed proof that close to the homoclinic loop complicated motion exists provided is just once continuously differentiable. The result requires working with flows instead of an ODE, which necessitates major modifications compared to the earlier approach for twice continuously differentiable vectorfields in arXiv:2406.18289 .
