Existence of homoclinic solutions for a class of second-order Hamiltonian systems

A new result for existence of homoclinic orbits is obtained for the second-order Hamiltonian systems under a class of new superquadratic conditions. A homoclinic orbit is obtained as a limit of solutions of a certain sequence of boundary-value problems which are obtained by the minimax methods.     

Two homoclinic solutions for a nonperiodic fourth order differential equation with a perturbation

In this paper, we study multiple homoclinic solutions for a class of fourth order differential equations with a perturbation. By establishing a compactness lemma and using variational methods, the existence result of two homoclinic solutions is obtained under some suitable assumptions, but not requiring the periodicity condition. Some recent results are improved and extended.

Chaos in PDEs and Lax Pairs of Euler Equations

Recently, the author and collaborators have developed a systematic program for proving the existence of homoclinic orbits in partial differential equations. Two typical forms of homoclinic orbits thus obtained are: (1) transversal homoclinic orbits, (2) Silnikov homoclinic orbits. Around the transversal homoclinic orbits in infinite-dimensional autonomous systems, the author was able to prove the existence of chaos through a shadowing lemma. Around the Silnikov homoclinic orbits, the author was able to prove the existence of chaos through a horseshoe construction.Very recently, there has been a breakthrough by the author in finding Lax pairs for Euler equations of incompressible inviscid fluids. Further results have been obtained by the author and collaborators.     

Bi-Lyapunov Stable Homoclinic Classes for C~1 Generic Flows

We study bi-Lyapunov stable homoclinic classes for a C~1 generic flow on a closed Riemannian manifold and prove that such a homoclinic class contains no singularity. This enables a parallel study of bi-Lyapunov stable dynamics for flows and for diffeomorphisms. For example, we can then show that a bi-Lyapunov stable homoclinic class for a C~1 generic flow is hyperbolic if and only if all periodic orbits in the class have the same stable index.     

Global bifurcations and single‐pulse homoclinic orbits of a plate subjected to the transverse and in‐plane excitations

The Shilnikov‐type single‐pulse homoclinic orbits and chaotic dynamics of a simply supported truss core sandwich plate subjected to the transverse and the in‐plane excitations are investigated in detail. The resonant case considered here is principal parametric resonance and 1:2 internal resonance. Based on the normal form theory, the desired form for the global perturbation method is obtained. By using the global perturbation method developed by Kovacic and Wiggins, explicit sufficient conditions for the existence of a Shilnikov‐type homoclinic orbit are obtained, which implies that chaotic motions may occur for this class of truss core sandwich plate in the sense of Smale horseshoes. Numerical results obtained by using the fourth‐order Runge–Kutta method agree with theoretical analysis at least qualitatively. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Homoclinic Orbits for Second Order Discrete Hamiltonian Systems with Potential Changing Sign

In this paper, a class of second order discrete Hamiltonian systems without any periodicity assumptions are considered. Base on the critical point theory, some sufficient conditions for the existence of homoclinic orbits are obtained. The results obtained extend the results in [2006] by relaxing the assumptions on the sign of the potential.      

Homoclinic Orbits for a Class of Fractional Hamiltonian Systems via Variational Methods

This paper is devoted to the existence and multiplicity of homoclinic orbits for a class of fractional-order Hamiltonian systems with left and right Liouville–Weyl fractional derivatives. Here, we present a new approach via variational methods and critical point theory to obtain sufficient conditions under which the Hamiltonian system has at least one homoclinic orbit or multiple homoclinic orbits. Some results are new even for second-order Hamiltonian systems.

Homoclinic orbits for second-order Hamiltonian systems with subquadratic potentials

In this paper we consider a class of subquadratic second-order Hamiltonian systems and new results about the existence and multiplicity of homoclinic orbits are obtained by using the Minimizing Theorem and the Clark’s Theorem respectively and a new compact imbedding theorem is also proved.     

Homoclinic bifurcation with nonhyperbolic equilibria

The problem of homoclinic bifurcation is studied for a high dimensional system with nonhyperbolic equilibria. By constructing local coordinate systems near the unperturbed homoclinic orbit, Poincaré maps for the new system are established. Then the persistence of the homoclinic orbit and the bifurcation of the periodic orbit for the system accompanied with pitchfork bifurcation are obtained. Some known results are extended.     

Homoclinic solutions of a class of periodic difference equations with asymptotically linear nonlinearities

By using critical point theory and periodic approximations, new sufficient conditions are obtained on the existence and nonexistence of homoclinic solutions for a class of discrete nonlinear periodic equations with asymptotically linear nonlinearities. These results partially answer an open problem proposed by Pankov (2006) [2] under rather weaker conditions and greatly improve the related results before.     

Homoclinic Solutions for A Class of Second Order Neutral Functional Differential Systems

By means of an extension of Mawhin's continuation theorem and some analysis methods, the existence of a set with 2kT-periodic solutions for a class of second order neutral functional differential systems is studied, and then the homoclinic solutions are obtained as the limit points of a certain subsequence of the above set.     

Infinitely many homoclinic solutions for some second order Hamiltonian systems

In this paper, we investigate the existence of infinitely many homoclinic solutions for a class of second order Hamiltonian systems. By using fountain theorem due to Zou, we obtain two new criteria for guaranteeing that second order Hamiltonian systems have infinitely many homoclinic solutions. Recent results in the literature are generalized and significantly improved.

By using the variant fountain theorem, we obtain a new criterion for guaranteeing that second-order Hamiltonian systems has infinitely many homoclinic solutions. Recent results from the literature are generalized and significantly improved. An example is also given in this paper to illustrate our main results.     

Infinitely many homoclinic orbits for the second-order Hamiltonian systems

Bifurcation of Homoclinic Orbits with Saddle-Center Equilibrium

In this paper, the authors develop new global perturbation techniques for detecting the persistence of transversal homoclinic orbits in a more general nondegenerated system with action-angle variable. The unperturbed system is assumed to have saddle-center type equilibrium whose stable and unstable manifolds intersect in one dimensional manifold, and does not have to be completely integrable or near-integrable. By constructing local coordinate systems near the unperturbed homoclinic orbit, the conditions of existence of transversal homoclinic orbit are obtained, and the existence of periodic orbits bifurcated from homoclinic orbit is also considered.     

Analytic and algebraic conditions for bifurcations of homoclinic orbits I: Saddle equilibria

We study bifurcations of homoclinic orbits to hyperbolic saddle equilibria in a class of four-dimensional systems which may be Hamiltonian or not. Only one parameter is enough to treat these types of bifurcations in Hamiltonian systems but two parameters are needed in general systems. We apply a version of Melnikov?s method due to Gruendler to obtain saddle-node and pitchfork types of bifurcation results for homoclinic orbits. Furthermore we prove that if these bifurcations occur, then the variational equations around the homoclinic orbits are integrable in the meaning of differential Galois theory under the assumption that the homoclinic orbits lie on analytic invariant manifolds. We illustrate our theories with an example which arises as stationary states of coupled real Ginzburg–Landau partial differential equations, and demonstrate the theoretical results by numerical ones.
