چکیده
An important problem in the dynamics of surface homeomorphisms is determining the forcing relation between orbits. The forcing relation between periodic orbits can be computed using standard algorithms, though this does not give much information on the structure of the forcing relation. Here we consider forcing relations between homoclinic orbits, and their relationships with periodic orbits. We outline a general procedure for computing the forcing relation, and apply this to compute the equivalence and forcing relations for homoclinic orbits of the Smale horseshoe map. We also outline a method for determining forcing relations from graph maps, which allows us to compute the forcing relation between the so-called star homoclinic orbits.

Forcing Relations for Homoclinic Orbits of the Smale Horseshoe Map
An important problem in the dynamics of surface homeomorphisms is determining the forcing relation between orbits. The forcing relation between periodic orbits can be computed using existing algorithms. Here we consider forcing relations between homoclinic orbits. We outline a general procedure for computing the forcing relation, and apply this to compute the equivalence and forcing relations f...
متن کاملOrder of Appearance of Homoclinic Points for the Hénon Map
For the areaand orientation-preserving Hénon map,1) we previously derived a generalized dynamical ordering of the symmetric periodic orbits appearing through saddle-node bifurcations.2) The procedure consists of, first, fixing the homoclinic tangency of the stable and unstable manifolds of a saddle fixed point and, then, deriving dynamical order relations for the symmetric periodic orbits assoc...
متن کاملHomoclinic Bifurcations for the H
Chaotic dynamics can be eeectively studied by continuation from an anti-integrable limit. We use this limit to assign global symbols to orbits and use continuation from the limit to study their bifurcations. We nd a bound on the parameter range for which the H enon map exhibits a complete binary horseshoe as well as a subshift of nite type, and study these numerically. We classify homoclinic bi...
متن کاملBraid Forcing and Star-shaped Train Tracks
Global results are proved about the way in which Boyland’s forcing partial order organizes a set of braid types: those of periodic orbits of Smale’s horseshoe map for which the associated train track is a star. This is a special case of a conjecture introduced in [dCHb], which claims that forcing organizes all horseshoe braid types into linearly ordered families which are, in turn, parameterize...
متن کاملA Partial Differential Equation with Infinitely many Periodic Orbits: Chaotic Oscillations of a Forced Beam
This paper delineates a class of time-periodically perturved evolution equations in a Banach space whose associated Poincaré map contains a Smale horseshoe. This implies that such systems possess periodic orbits with arbitrarily high period. The method uses techniques originally due to Melnikov and applies to systems of the form ẋ = f0(x) + εf1(x, t), where ẋ = f0(x) is Hamiltonian and has a ho...
