Wild hyperbolic sets, yet no chance for the coexistence of infinitely many KLUS-simple Newhouse attracting sets (Q1189232)

Before 1974 it was known in particle accelerator research that, with or without dissipation, homoclinic points are limits of sequences of saddles of order \(k\) and rotation number \(n\) as \(k/n\to\infty\). Without using the notion of a rotation number, the authors refine a restricted proof stating that in the neighbourhoods of homoclinic points of weakly dissipative diffeomorphisms the set of saddles is of measure zero, and speculate about the usefulness of such a result for the identification of a particular strange attractor.
