Positive topological entropy for multidimensional perturbations of topologically crossing homoclinicity (Q536131)

A one-parameter family \(F_\lambda\) with the singular map \(F_0\) having one of the forms \(F_0(x)= f(x)\), \(F_0(x,y)= (f(x), g(x))\), where \(g: \mathbb{R}^m\to \mathbb{R}^k\) is continuous and \(F_0(x, y)= (f (x), g(x, y))\), where \(g: \mathbb{R}^m\times\mathbb{R}^k\to \mathbb{R}^k\) is continuous and locally trapping along the second variable \(y\), is considered in this work. It is shown that if \(f: \mathbb{R}^m\to\mathbb{R}^m\) is a \(C^1\) diffeomorphism having a topologically crossing homoclinic point, then \(F_\lambda\) has positive topological entropy for all \(\lambda\) close enough to \(0\).
