Bifurcations of Rough Heteroclinic Loops with Three Saddle Points

In this paper, we study the bifurcation problems of rough heteroclinic loups cormecting threc saddle points for a higher-dimensional system. Under some transversal conditions and the nontwisted condition. the existence. uniqueness. nd incoexistencc of thc l-heteroclinic loop with threc or two saddle pomts. l-homoclinic orbit and l-periodic orbit near T are obtained. Nleanwhile, the bifurcation surfaces and existence regions are also given. Moreover. the above bifurcation results are extended to the case for heteroclinic loop with l saddle points.

Codimension 3 Non-resonant Bifurcations of Rough Heteroclinic Loops with One Orbit Flip

Heteroclinic bifurcations in four dimensional vector fields are investigated by setting up a local coordinates near a rough heteroclinic loop. This heteroclinic loop has a principal heteroclinic orbit and a non-principal heteroclinic orbit that takes orbit flip. The existence, nonexistence, coexistence and uniqueness of the 1-heteroclinic loop, 1-homoclinic orbit and l-periodic orbit are studied. The existence of the two-fold or three-fold 1-periodic orbit is also obtained.

On the Number of Limit Cycles in Small Perturbations of a Piecewise Linear Hamiltonian System with a Heteroclinic Loop

In this paper, the authors consider limit cycle bifurcations for a kind of nonsmooth polynomial differential systems by perturbing a piecewise linear Hamiltonian system with a center at the origin and a heteroclinic loop around the origin. When the degree of perturbing polynomial terms is n(n ≥ 1), it is obtained that n limit cycles can appear near the origin and the heteroclinic loop respectively by using the first Melnikov function of piecewise near-Hamiltonian systems, and that there are at most n + [(n+1)/2] limit cycles bifurcating from the periodic annulus between the center and the heteroclinic loop up to the first order in ε. Especially, for n = 1, 2, 3 and 4, a precise result on the maximal number of zeros of the first Melnikov function is derived.

THE POINCAR BIFURCATION IN CUBIC HAMILTONIAN SYSTEMS WITH HETEROCLINIC LOOP

In this paper, we investigate the Poincar bifurcation in cubic Hamiltonian systems with heteroclinic loop, under small general cubic perturbations. We prove that the system has at most two limit cycles and has at least two limit cycles, respectively.

External Bifurcations of Double Heterodimensional Cycles with One Orbit Flip

In this paper, external bifurcations of heterodimensional cycles connecting three saddle points with one orbit flip, in the shape of “∞”, are studied in three-dimensional vector field. We construct a poincaré return map between returning points in a transverse section by establishing a locally active coordinate system in the tubular neighborhood of unperturbed double heterodimensional cycles, through which the bifurcation equations are obtained under different conditions. Near the double heterodimensional cycles, the authors prove the preservation of “∞”-shape double heterodimensional cycles and the existence of the second and third shape heterodimensional cycle and a large 1-heteroclinic cycle connecting with P1 and P3. The coexistence of a 1-fold large 1-heteroclinic cycle and the “∞”-shape double heterodimensional cycles and the coexistence conditions are also given in the parameter space.

On the Bifurcations of a Hamiltonian Having Three Homoclinic Loops under Z_3 Invariant Quintic Perturbations

A cubic system having three homoclinic loops perturbed by Z3 invariant quintic polynomials is considered. By applying the qualitative method of differential equations and the numeric computing method, the Hopf bifurcation, homoclinic loop bifurcation and heteroclinic loop bifurcation of the above perturbed system are studied. It is found that the above system has at least 12 limit cycles and the distributions of limit cycles are also given.

On the Number of Limit Cycles of a Z_4-equivariant Quintic Near-Hamiltonian System

In this paper, we study the number of limit cycles of a near-Hamiltonian system having Za- equivariant quintic perturbations. Using the methods of Hopf and heteroclinic bifurcation theory, we find that the perturbed system can have 28 limit cycles, and its location is also given. The main result can be used to improve the lower bound of the maximal number of limit cycles for some polynomial systems in a previous work, which is the main motivation of the present paper.
