Codimension 3 nonresonant bifurcations of homoclinic orbits with two inclination flips

Homoclinic bifurcations in four-dimensional vector fields are investigated by setting up a local coordinate near a homoclinic orbit. This homoclinic orbit is principal but its stable and unstable foliations take inclination flip. The existence, nonexistence, and uniqueness of the 1-homoclinic orbit and 1-periodic orbit are studied. The existence of the two-fold 1 -periodic orbit and three-fold 1 -periodic orbit are also obtained. It is indicated that the number of periodic orbits bifurcated from this kind of homoclinic orbits depends heavily on the strength of the inclination flip.

The paper studies a codimension-4 resonant homoclinic bifurcation with one orbit flip and two inclination flips, where the resonance takes place in the tangent direction of homoclinic orbit.Local active coordinate system is introduced to construct the Poincar′e returning map, and also the associated successor functions. We prove the existence of the saddle-node bifurcation, the perioddoubling bifurcation and the homoclinic-doubling bifurcation, and also locate the corresponding 1-periodic orbit, 1-homoclinic orbit, double periodic orbits and some 2n-homoclinic orbits.

The homoclinic bifurcations in four dimensional vector fields are investigated by setting up a local coordinates near the homoclinic orbit. This homoclinic orbit is non-principal in the meanings that its positive semi-orbit takes orbit flip and its unstable foliation takes inclination flip. The existence, nonexistence, uniqueness and coexistence of the 1-homoclinic orbit and the 1-periodic orbit are studied. The existence of the twofold periodic orbit and three-fold periodic orbit are also obtained.     

Coexistence of unbounded solutions and periodic solutions of Liénard equations with asymmetric nonlinearities at resonance

In this paper, we deal with the existence of unbounded orbits of the mapping {θ1 = θ 2nπ 1/ρμ(θ) o(ρ-1),ρ1=ρ c-μ′(θ) o(1), ρ→∞,where n is a positive integer, c is a constant and μ(θ) is a 2π-periodic function. We prove that if c ＞ 0 and μ(θ) ≠ 0, θ∈ [0, 2π], then every orbit of the given mapping goes to infinity in the future for ρ large enough; if c ＜ 0 and μ(θ) ≠ 0, θ∈ [0, 2π], then every orbit of the given mapping goes to infinity in the past for ρ large enough. By using this result, we prove that the equation x″ f(x)x′ ax -bx- φ(x) =p(t) has unbounded solutions provided that a, b satisfy 1/√a 1/√b = 2/n and F(x)(= ∫x0 f(s)ds),and φ(x) satisfies some limit conditions. At the same time, we obtain the existence of 2π-periodic solutions of this equation.     

Bifurcations of Double Homoclinic Loops with Inclination Flip and Nonresonant Eigenvalues

In this work, bifurcation analysis near double homoclinic loops with Ws inclination ?ip of Γ1 and nonresonant eigenvalues is presented in a four-dimensional system. We establish a Poincar´e map by constructing local active coordinates approach in some tubular neighborhood of unperturbed double homoclinic loops. Through studying the bifurcation equations, we obtain the condition that the original double homoclinic loops are persistent, and get the existence or the nonexistence regions of the large 1-homoclinic orbit and the large 1-periodic orbit. At last, an analytical example is given to illustrate our main results.

Linear estimation and distribution of the limit cycles bifurcated from a kind of degenerate polycycles

In this paper, we investigate the number and the distribution of the limit cycles bifurcated from a kind of degenerate planar polycycles through three singular points: a saddle-node P0, a fine saddle P1 with finite order m∈N, a contractive (attracting) saddle P2 with the hyperbolicity ratio q2(0)■Q. The connection between P0 and P1 is of hh-type and the connection between P0 and P2 is of hp-type. It is assumed that the connections between P0 to P2 and P0 to P1 keep unbroken. We obtain that the cyclicity of this polycycle is not more than 3m 1, which is linearly dependent on the order of the resonant saddle P1 We also show that the cyclicity is not more than m 3 if q2(0)>m, and that the nearer q2(0)is close to 1, the more the limit cycles are bifurcated.     

Bifurcations of heteroclinic loops

By generalizing the Floquet method from periodic systems to systems with exponential dichotomy, a local coordinate system is established in a neighborhood of the heteroclinic loop Γ to study the bifurcation problems of homoclinic and periodic orbits. Asymptotic expressions of the bifurcation surfaces and their relative positions are given. The results obtained in literature concerned with the 1-hom bifurcation surfaces are improved and extended to the nontransversal case. Existence regions of the 1-per orbits bifurcated from Γ are described, and the uniqueness and incoexistence of the 1-hom and 1-per orbit and the inexistence of the 2-hom and 2-per orbit are also obtained.

Bifurcations of Fine 3-point-loop in Higher Dimensional Space

By using the linear independent fundamental solutions of the linear variational equation along the heteroclinic loop to establish a suitable local coordinate system in some small tubular neighborhood of the heteroclinic loop, the Poincaré map is constructed to study the bifurcation problems of a fine 3–point loop in higher dimensional space. Under some transversal conditions and the non–twisted condition, the existence, coexistence and incoexistence of 2–point–loop, 1–homoclinic orbit, simple 1–periodic orbit and 2–fold 1–periodic orbit, and the number of 1–periodic orbits are studied. Moreover, the bifurcation surfaces and existence regions are given. Lastly, the above bifurcation results are applied to a planar system and an inside stability criterion is obtained.

Cyclicity of Degenerate Polycycles Through a Saddle-Node and Two Hyperbolic Saddles

This paper deals with the cyclicity of a kind of degenerate planar polycycles through a saddle-node and two hyperbolic saddles, where the hyperbolicity ratio of the saddle （which connects the saddle-node with hp-connection） is equal to 1 and that of the other saddle is irrational. It is obtained that the cyclicity of this kind of polycycle is no more than 5 if the hp-connection keeps unbroken under the C^∞ perturbations.

Homoclinic period blow-up in reversible and conservative systems

We show that in conservative systems each non-degenerate homoclinic orbit asymptotic to a hyperbolic equilibrium possesses an associated family of periodic orbits. The family is parametrized by the period, and the periodic orbits accumulate on the homoclinic orbit as the period tends to infinity. A similar result holds for symmetric homoclinic orbits in reversible systems. Our results extend earlier work by Devaney and Henrard, and provide a positive answer to a conjecture of Strömgren. We present a unified approach to both the conservative and the reversible case, based on a technique introduced recently by X.-B. Lin.Dedicated to Prof. Klaus Kirchgässner on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday

Codimension 2 reversible heteroclinic bifurcations with inclination flips

In this paper, the heteroclinic bifurcation problem with real eigenvalues and two inclination-flips is investigated in a four-dimensional reversible system. We perform a detailed study of this case by using the method originally established in the papers “Problems in Homoclinic Bifurcation with Higher Dimensions” and “Bifurcation of Heteroclinic Loops,” and obtain fruitful results, such as the existence and coexistence of R-symmetric homoclinic orbit and R-symmetric heteroclinic loops, R-symmetric homoclinic orbit and R-symmetric periodic orbit. The double R-symmetric homoclinic bifurcation (i.e., two-fold R-symmetric homoclinic bifurcation) for reversible heteroclinic loops is found, and the existence of infinitely many R-symmetric periodic orbits accumulating onto a homoclinic orbit is demonstrated. The relevant bifurcation surfaces and the existence regions are also located. This work was supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant No. 10671069)
