Bifurcation of an orbit homoclinic to a hyperbolic saddle of a vector field in \(\mathbb{R}^4\) (Q1723391)

Summary: We perform a bifurcation analysis of an orbit homoclinic to a hyperbolic saddle of a vector field in \(\mathbb{R}^4\). We give an expression of the gap between returning points in a transverse section by renormalizing system, through which we find the existence of homoclinic-doubling bifurcation in the case \(1 + \alpha > \beta > \nu\). Meanwhile, after reparametrizing the parameter, a periodic-doubling bifurcation appears and may be close to a saddle-node bifurcation, if the parameter is varied. These scenarios correspond to the occurrence of chaos. Based on our analysis, bifurcation diagrams of these bifurcations are depicted.
