  • Construction of codimension one Homoclinic cycles
    Dynamical Systems, 2013
    Co-Authors: Ale Jan Homburg, Maria Kellner, Jürgen Knobloch
    Abstract:

    We give an explicit construction of families of Dm-equivariant polynomial vector fields in possessing a codimension one Homoclinic cycle. The Homoclinic cycle consists of m Homoclinic trajectories all connected to the equilibrium at the origin. The constructed vector fields can provide a setting for a (numerical) bifurcation study of these Homoclinic cycles, in particular for m equal to a multiple of 4, where the bifurcations form an open problem.

  • Lorenz attractors in unfoldings of Homoclinic-flip bifurcations
    Dynamical Systems, 2010
    Co-Authors: A. Golmakani, Ale Jan Homburg
    Abstract:

    Lorenz-like attractors are known to appear in unfoldings from certain codimension two Homoclinic bifurcations for differential equations in ℝ3 that possess a reflectional symmetry. This includes Homoclinic loops under a resonance condition and the inclination-flip Homoclinic loops. We show that Lorenz-like attractors also appear in the third possible codimension two Homoclinic bifurcation (for Homoclinic loops to equilibria with real different eigenvalues); the orbit-flip Homoclinic bifurcation. We moreover provide a bifurcation analysis computing the bifurcation curves of bifurcations from periodic orbits and discussing the creation and destruction of the Lorenz-like attractors. Known results for the inclination flip are extended to include a bifurcation analysis.

  • Homoclinic and heteroclinic bifurcations in vector fields
    Handbook of Dynamical Systems, 2010
    Co-Authors: Ale Jan Homburg, Björn Sandstede
    Abstract:

    An overview of Homoclinic and heteroclinic bifurcation theory for autonomous vector fields is given. Specifically, Homoclinic and heteroclinic bifurcations of codimension one and two in generic, equivariant, reversible, and conservative systems are reviewed, and results pertaining to the existence of multi-round Homoclinic and periodic orbits and of complicated dynamics such as suspended horseshoes and attractors are stated. Bifurcations of Homoclinic orbits from equilibria in local bifurcations are also considered. The main analytic and geometric techniques such as Lin’s method, Shil’nikov variables and Homoclinic centre manifolds for analyzing these bifurcations are discussed. Finally, a few related topics, such as topological moduli, numerical algorithms, variational methods, and extensions to singularly perturbed and infinite-dimensional systems, are reviewed briefly.

  • Essentially asymptotically stable Homoclinic networks
    Dynamical Systems, 2009
    Co-Authors: R. Driesse, Ale Jan Homburg
    Abstract:

    Melbourne [An example of a nonasymptotically stable attractor, Nonlinearity 4(3) (1991), pp. 835–844] discusses an example of a robust heteroclinic network that is not asymptotically stable but which has the strong attracting property called essential asymptotic stability. We establish that this phenomenon is possible for Homoclinic networks, where all heteroclinic trajectories are symmetry related. Moreover, we study a transverse bifurcation from an asymptotically stable to an essentially asymptotically stable Homoclinic network. The essentially asymptotically stable Homoclinic network turns out to attract all nearby points except those on codimension-one stable manifolds of equilibria outside the Homoclinic network.

  • Homoclinic-Doubling Cascades
    Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis, 2001
    Co-Authors: Ale Jan Homburg, Hiroshi Kokubu, Vincent Naudot
    Abstract:

    Cascades of period-doubling bifurcations have attracted much interest from researchers of dynamical systems in the past two decades as they are one of the routes to onset of chaos. In this paper we consider routes to onset of chaos involving Homoclinic-doubling bifurcations. We show the existence of cascades of Homoclinic-doubling bifurcations which occur persistently in two-parameter families of vector fields on ℝ3. The cascades are found in an unfolding of a codimension-three Homoclinic bifurcation which occur an orbit-flip at resonant eigenvalues. We develop a continuation theory for Homoclinic orbits in order to follow Homoclinic orbits through infinitely many Homoclinic-doubling bifurcations.

  • hopf and Homoclinic bifurcations for near hamiltonian systems
    Journal of Differential Equations, 2017
    Co-Authors: Yun Tian, Maoan Han
    Abstract:

    Abstract We study Homoclinic bifurcation of limit cycles in perturbed planar Hamiltonian systems. Suppose that a Homoclinic loop is defined by H = h s . Our main result is that a new method is established for computing the coefficients of the expansion of Melnikov functions at h = h s . Then by using those coefficients, more limit cycles would be found around Homoclinic loops. An example is also provided to illustrate our method.

  • bifurcation of limit cycles from generalized Homoclinic loops in planar piecewise smooth systems
    Journal of Differential Equations, 2013
    Co-Authors: Feng Liang, Maoan Han, Xiang Zhang
    Abstract:

    Abstract The generalized Homoclinic loop appears in the study of dynamics on piecewise smooth differential systems during the past two decades. For planar piecewise smooth differential systems, there are concrete examples showing that under suitable perturbations of a generalized Homoclinic loop one or two limit cycles can appear. But up to now there is no a general theory to study the cyclicity of a generalized Homoclinic loop, that is, the maximal number of limit cycles which are bifurcated from it. In this paper, we provide some sufficient conditions on the cyclicity of some Homoclinic loops. Especially we prove the existence of one or two limit cycles which are bifurcated from a generalized Homoclinic loop of an unperturbed piecewise smooth differential systems. Also we obtain a class of piecewise differential system in which two limit cycles can be bifurcated from a generalized Homoclinic loop with multiplicity one. The phenomena cannot happen in the smooth differential systems. Finally we provide five concrete piecewise smooth differential systems showing the applications of our theories on this phenomenon.

  • limit cycle bifurcations near a double Homoclinic loop with a nilpotent saddle
    International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos, 2012
    Co-Authors: Maoan Han, Junmin Yang, Dongmei Xiao
    Abstract:

    Homoclinic bifurcation is a difficult and important topic of bifurcation theory. As we know, a general theory for a Homoclinic loop passing through a hyperbolic saddle was established by [Roussarie, 1986]. Then the method of stability-changing to find limit cycles near a double Homoclinic loop passing through a hyperbolic saddle was given in [Han & Chen, 2000], and further developed by [Han et al., 2003; Han & Zhu, 2007]. For a Homoclinic loop passing through a nilpotent saddle there are essentially two different cases, which we distinguish by cuspidal type and smooth type, respectively. For the cuspidal type a general theory was recently established in [Zang et al., 2008]. In this paper, we consider limit cycle bifurcation near a double Homoclinic loop passing through a nilpotent saddle by studying the analytical property of the first order Melnikov functions for general near-Hamiltonian systems and obtain the conditions for the perturbed system to have 8, 10 or 12 limit cycles in a neighborhood of the loop with seven different distributions. In particular, for the Homoclinic loop of smooth type, a general theory is obtained as a consequence. We finally consider some polynomial systems and find a lower bound of the maximal number of limit cycles as an application of our main results.

  • Limit cycles near generalized Homoclinic and double Homoclinic loops in piecewise smooth systems
    Chaos Solitons & Fractals, 2012
    Co-Authors: Feng Liang, Maoan Han
    Abstract:

    Abstract In this paper, we study the bifurcation of limit cycles in piecewise smooth systems by perturbing a piecewise Hamiltonian system with a generalized Homoclinic or generalized double Homoclinic loop. We first obtain the form of the expansion of the first Melnikov function. Then by using the first coefficients in the expansion, we give some new results on the number of limit cycles bifurcated from a periodic annulus near the generalized (double) Homoclinic loop. As applications, we study the number of limit cycles of a piecewise near-Hamiltonian systems with a generalized Homoclinic loop and a central symmetric piecewise smooth system with a generalized double Homoclinic loop.

  • The loop quantities and bifurcations of Homoclinic loops
    Journal of Differential Equations, 2007
    Co-Authors: Maoan Han, Huaiping Zhu
    Abstract:

    Abstract The stability and bifurcations of a Homoclinic loop for planar vector fields are closely related to the limit cycles. For a Homoclinic loop of a given planar vector field, a sequence of quantities, the Homoclinic loop quantities were defined to study the stability and bifurcations of the loop. Among the sequence of the loop quantities, the first nonzero one determines the stability of the Homoclinic loop. There are formulas for the first three and the fifth loop quantities. In this paper we will establish the formula for the fourth loop quantity for both the single and double Homoclinic loops. As applications, we present examples of planar polynomial vector fields which can have five or twelve limit cycles respectively in the case of a single or double Homoclinic loop by using the method of stability-switching.

  • New Rational Homoclinic and Rogue Waves for Davey-Stewartson Equation
    Abstract and Applied Analysis, 2014
    Co-Authors: Changfu Liu, Chuan-jian Wang, Zhengde Dai, Jun Liu
    Abstract:

    A new method, Homoclinic breather limit method (HBLM), for seeking rogue wave solution of nonlinear evolution equation is proposed. A new family of Homoclinic breather wave solution, and rational Homoclinic solution (Homoclinic rogue wave) for DSI and DSII equations are obtained using the extended Homoclinic test method and Homoclinic breather limit method (HBLM), respectively. Moreover, rogue wave solution is exhibited as period of periodic wave in Homoclinic breather wave approaches to infinite. This result shows that rogue wave can be generated by extreme behavior of Homoclinic breather wave for higher dimensional nonlinear wave fields.

  • A Geometric Criterion for Positive Topological Entropy II: Homoclinic Tangencies
    Communications in Mathematical Physics, 1999
    Co-Authors: Ale Jan Homburg, Howard Weiss
    Abstract:

    In a series of important papers [GS1,GS2] Gavrilov and Shilnikov established a topological conjugacy between a surface diffeomorphism having a dissipative hyperbolic periodic point with certain types of quadratic Homoclinic tangencies and the full shift on two symbols, thus exhibiting horseshoes near a tangential Homoclinic point. In this note, which should be viewed of as an addendum to [BW] we extend this result by showing that such a diffeomorphism with a one-sided isolated Homoclinic tangency having any order contact, possible with infinite order contact, possesses a horseshoe near the Homoclinic point.
