Abstract

The paper provides a detailed proof that complicated motion exists in Shilnikov's scenario of a smooth vectorfield VV on mathbbR3mathbb{R}^3 with V(0)=0V(0)=0 so that the equation x=V(x)x'=V(x) has a homoclinic solution hh with limth(t)=0\lim_{|t|\to\infty}h(t)=0, and DV(0)DV(0) has eigenvalues u>0u>0 and σ±μ\sigma\pm\mu, σ<0<μ\sigma<0<\mu, with 0<σ+u0<\sigma+u.
