Abstract: | ![]() The boundaries of the basin of attraction are usually assumed to be rather elementary for Hamiltonian systems with autonomous perturbations. In the case of one saddle point, the sequences of orbits before capture are unique for each basin. However, we show that for two saddle points each with double heteroclinic orbits, there is an infinite number of different sequences of nearly homoclinic orbits before capture depending on the four heteroclinic parameters. The probabilities of capture are independent of the capture sequence. |
