Singular Separatrix Splitting and the Melnikov Method: An Experimental Study

From MaRDI portal





The authors consider the family of planar standard-like maps \(F:(x,y)\mapsto (y,-x+U'(y))\), \(U(y)=\mu_0\log(1+y^2)+\varepsilon V(y)\), where \(V(y)=\sum_{n\geq 1}V_ny^{2n}\) is an even entire function. Provided that \(\mu_0+V_1\varepsilon>1\), the origin \({\mathcal O}=(0,0)\) is a hyperbolic fixed point with \(\text{Spect}[F'({\mathcal O})]=\{\exp(\pm\theta)\}\), \(\text{cosh} \theta=\mu_0+V_1\varepsilon\). Hence, the map \(F\) can be considered as a perturbation of an integrable map and two parameters \(\varepsilon\) and \(\theta>0\), which are considered as the intrinsic parameters of the map \(F\). The main goal of the paper is to show that for \(\varepsilon\neq 0\) and for a general perturbation, the separatrix splits and exactly two (transverse) primary homoclinic points, \(z^+\) and \(z^-\), appear in the quadrant \(\{x,y>0\}\). The area of the loops in connection with an even Gevrey-1 is discussed. The authors provide these results by a number of detailed numerical computations. To this end the authors use multiple-precision arithmetic and expand the local invariant curves up to very high order.
