Homoclinic flip bifurcations in conservative reversible systems
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, flip bifurcations of homoclinic orbits in conservative reversible systems are analysed. In such systems, orbit-flip and inclination-flip bifurcations occur simultaneously. It is shown that multi-pulses either do not bifurcate at all at flip bifurcation points or else bifurcate simultaneously to both sides of the bifurcation point. An application to a fifth-order model of water waves is given to illustrate the results, and open problems regarding the PDE stability of multi-pulses are outlined.

Homoclinic and Heteroclinic Bifurcations in Vector Fields
An overview of homoclinic and heteroclinic bifurcation theory for autonomous vector fields is given. Specifically, homoclinic and heteroclinic bifurcations of codimension one and two in generic, equivariant, reversible, and conservative systems are reviewed, and results pertaining to the existence of multi-round homoclinic and periodic orbits and of complicated dynamics such as suspended horses...
متن کاملLorenz attractors in unfoldings of homoclinic flip bifurcations
Lorenz like attractors are known to appear in unfoldings from certain codimension two homoclinic bifurcations for differential equations in R that possess a reflectional symmetry. This includes homoclinic loops under a resonance condition and the inclination flip homoclinic loops. We show that Lorenz like attractors also appear in the third possible codimension two homoclinic bifurcation (for h...
متن کاملGlobal Invariant Manifolds Near Homoclinic Orbits to a Real Saddle: (Non)Orientability and Flip Bifurcation
Homoclinic bifurcations are important phenomena that cause global re-arrangements of the dynamics in phase space, including changes to basins of attractions and the generation of chaotic dynamics. We consider here a homoclinic (or connecting) orbit that converges in both forward and backward time to a saddle equilibrium of a three-dimensional vector field. We assume that the saddle is such that...
متن کاملSaddle Invariant Objects and Their Global Manifolds in a Neighborhood of a Homoclinic Flip Bifurcation of Case B
When a real saddle equilibrium in a three-dimensional vector field undergoes a homoclinic bifurcation, the associated two-dimensional invariant manifold of the equilibrium closes on itself in an orientable or non-orientable way, provided the corresponding genericity conditions. We are interested in the interaction between global invariant manifolds of saddle equilibria and saddle periodic orbit...
متن کاملHomoclinic Bifurcations in Reversible Systems
The thesis investigates bifurcations from homoclinic solutions of ordinary differential equations. Homoclinic solutions are characterised by approaching an equilibrium, i.e. a constant solution of a differential equation, in both positive and negative time. The thesis is devoted to the analysis of homoclinic bifurcations that originate from a change in the type of the associated equilibrium. Se...
