Exponential trichotomy and homoclinic bifurcation with saddle-center equilibrium (Q963821)

This paper deals with bifurcations from homoclinic orbits in periodic singularly perturbed differential equations \[ \dot x=f(x,y)+\epsilon g^x(x,y,t,\lambda,\epsilon),\quad \dot y=\epsilon g^y(x,y,t,\lambda,\epsilon). \] The unperturbed system (\(\epsilon=0\)) is considered in \(x\)-space. It is assumed that the unperturbed system has a homoclinic orbit \(\Gamma\) to a hyperbolic equilibrium \(x(y_0)\), where the tangent spaces of the corresponding stable and unstable manifolds have a one-dimensional intersection. Inspired by \textit{M. Fečkan} and \textit{J. Gruendler}, [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 246, No.~1, 245--264 (2000; Zbl 1065.34031)], and \textit{C. Zhu} [Nonlinearity 21, No.~2, 285--303 (2008; Zbl 1170.34032)], bifurcations of homoclinic and periodic orbits from the primary homoclinic orbit \(\Gamma\) are studied. For that purpose, the Liapunov-Schmidt method is applied.
