Tangential homoclinic points for Lozi maps

Dynamical Systems 2026-04-13 v2

Abstract

For the family of Lozi maps, we study homoclinic points for the saddle fixed point XX in the first quadrant. Specifically, in the parameter space, we examine the boundary of the region in which homoclinic points for XX exist. For all parameters on that boundary, all intersections of the stable and unstable manifold of XX, apart from XX, are tangential, or these manifolds intersect along a segment. We ultimately prove that for such parameters, all possible homoclinic points for XX are iterates of two special points ZZ and VV, or iterates of points on a segment joining VV with an iterate of ZZ. Additionally, we describe the parameter curves that form the boundary and provide explicit equations for several of them.
