The paper deals with a diffeomorphism \(f:\mathbb{R}^n \to\mathbb{R}^n\) of \(n\)-dimensional Euclidean space, so that 0 is its hyperbolic fixed point. Moreover, its Jacobi matrix \(Df(0)\) is assumed to have only real, distinct, and positive eigenvalues \(\lambda_1,\dots,\lambda_m<1\) and \(\gamma_1, \dots, \gamma_{n-m} >1\). The author studies the case where the \(m\)-dimensional stable \(W^s(0)\) and the \((n-m)\)-dimensional unstable \(W^u(0)\) manifolds are intersected at a homoclinic point \(w_0\neq 0\) nontransversally. The main result consists in finding the conditions providing the existence of countably many periodic points of the diffeomorphism in a neighborhood of \(w_0\) without a priori assumptions on the character of tangency of the manifolds \(W^s(0)\) and \(W^u(0)\).
