Lin’s Method and Homoclinic Bifurcations for Functional Differential Equations of Mixed Type
نویسندگان
چکیده
We extend Lin’s method for use in the setting of parameter-dependent nonlinear functional differential equations of mixed type (MFDEs). We show that the presence of M -homoclinic and M -periodic solutions that bifurcate from a prescribed homoclinic connection can be detected by studying a finite dimensional bifurcation equation. As an application, we describe the codimension two orbit-flip bifurcation in the setting of MFDEs.

Homoclinic Bifurcations in Reversible Systems
The thesis investigates bifurcations from homoclinic solutions of ordinary differential equations. Homoclinic solutions are characterised by approaching an equilibrium, i.e. a constant solution of a differential equation, in both positive and negative time. The thesis is devoted to the analysis of homoclinic bifurcations that originate from a change in the type of the associated equilibrium. Se...
متن کاملHomoclinic Branch Switching: a Numerical Implementation of Lin's Method
We present a numerical method for branch switching between homoclinic orbits to equilibria of ODEs computed via numerical continuation. Starting from a 1-homoclinic orbit our method allows us to find and follow an N -homoclinic orbit, for any N > 1 (if it exists nearby). This scheme is based on Lin’s method and it is robust and reliable. The method is implemented in AUTO/HomCont. A system of or...

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 horses...
متن کاملNumerical study of secondary heteroclinic bifurations near non-reversible homoclinic snaking
We discuss the emergence of isolas of secondary heteroclinic bifurcations near a non-reversible homoclinic snaking curve in parameter space that is generated by a codimension-one equilibrium-to-periodic (EtoP) heteroclinic cycle. We use a numerical method based on Lin’s method to compute and continue these secondary heteroclinic EtoP orbits for a well-known system.
متن کاملSingular Perturbation Theory for Homoclinic Orbits in a Class of Near-Integrable Hamiltonian Systems∗
This paper describes a new type of orbits homoclinic to resonance bands in a class of near-integrable Hamiltonian systems. It presents a constructive method for establishing whether small conservative perturbations of a family of heteroclinic orbits that connect pairs of points on a circle of equilibria will yield transverse homoclinic connections between periodic orbits in the resonance band r...
