Homoclinic Orbits in Saddle-center Reversible Hamiltonian Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the existence of homoclic solutions for reversible Hamiltonian systems taking the family of differential equations u + au′′ − u + f(u, b) = 0 as a model. Here f is an analytic function and a, b real parameters. These equations are important in several physical situations such as solitons and in the existence of “finite energy” stationary states of partial differential equations. We reduce the problem of computing these orbits to that of finding the intersection of the unstable manifold with a suitable set and then apply it to concrete situations. No assumptions of any kind of discrete symmetry is made and the analysis here developed can be successfully employed in situations where standard methods fail.

Multi-round Homoclinic Orbits to a Hamiltonian with Saddle-center
We consider a real analytic, two degrees of freedom Hamiltonian system possessing a homoclinic orbit to a saddle-center equilibrium p (two nonzero real and two nonzero imaginary eigenvalues). We take a two-parameter unfolding for such the system and show that in nonresonance case there are countable sets of multiround homoclinic orbits to p. We also find families of periodic orbits, accumulatin...
متن کاملHomoclinic Orbits in Reversible Systems II: Multi-bumps and Saddle-centres
This article extends a review in [9] of the theory and application of homoclinic orbits to equilibria in even-order, time-reversible systems of autonomous ordinary differential equations, either Hamiltonian or not. Recent results in two directions are surveyed. First, a heteroclinic connection between a saddle-focus equilibrium and a periodic orbit is shown to arise from a certain codimension-t...
متن کاملSlow Passage through a Saddle-Center Bifurcation
Slowly varying conservative one-degree of freedom Hamiltonian systems are analyzed in the case of a saddle-center bifurcation. Away from unperturbed homoclinic orbits, strongly nonlinear oscillations are obtained using the method of averaging. A long sequence of nearly homoclinic orbits is matched to the strongly nonlinear oscillations before and after the slow passage. Usually solutions pass t...
متن کاملCascades of homoclinic orbits to a saddle-centre for reversible and perturbed Hamiltonian systems
The bifurcation of double-pulse homoclinic orbits under parameter perturbation is analysed for reversible systems having a homoclinic solution that is biasymptotic to a saddle-centre equilibrium. This is a non-hyperbolic equilibrium with two real and two purely imaginary eigenvalues. Reversibility enforces that small perturbations will not change this eigenvalue connguration. It is found that (...
متن کاملSymmetric Homoclinic Orbits at the Periodic Hamiltonian Hopf Bifurcation
We prove the existence of symmetric homoclinic orbits to a saddle-focus symmetric periodic orbit that appears in a generic family of reversible three degrees of freedom Hamiltonian system due to periodic Hamiltonian Hopf bifurcation, if some coefficient A of the normal form of the fourth order is positive. If this coefficient is negative, then for the opposite side of the bifurcation parameter ...
