Moreover, the heteroclinic cycles connect two saddle foci and intersect the switching manifold at two points and the switching manifold is composed of two perpendicular planes.

The construction of homoclinic and heteroclinic orbitals in asymmetric strongly nonlinear systems based on the Pad'e approximant

In this paper, the extended Pade approximant is used to construct the homoclinic and the heteroclinic trajectories in nonlinear dynamical systems that are asymmetric at origin. Meanwhile, the conservative system, the autonomous system, and the nonautonomous system equations with quadratic and cubic nonlinearities are considered. The disturbance parameter ~ is not limited to being small. The ranges of the values of the linear and the nonlinear term parameters, which are variables, can be determined when the boundary values are satisfied. New conditions for the potentiality and the convergence are posed to make it possible to solve the boundary-value problems formulated for the orbitals and to evaluate the initial amplitude values.

Existence of heteroclinic orbits in a novel three-order dynamical system

In this paper, we design a novel three-order autonomous system. Numerical simulations reveal the complex chaotic behaviors of the system. By applying the undetermined coefficient method, we find a heteroclinic orbit in the system. As a result, the Si＇lnikov criterion along with some other given conditions guarantees that the system has both Smale horseshoes and chaos of horseshoe type.

Homoclinic （Heteroclinic） Orbit of Complex Dynamical System and Spiral Structure

Starting from iterated systems, it is shown that the homoclinic (heteroclinic) orbit is a kind of spiral structure. The emphasis is laid to show that there are homoclinic or heteroclinic orbits in complex discrete and continuous systems, and these homoclinic or heteroclinic orbits are some kind of spiral structure.

A generalized Padé approximation method of solving homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits of strongly nonlinear autonomous oscillators

An intrinsic extension of Pad′e approximation method, called the generalized Pad′e approximation method, is proposed based on the classic Pad′e approximation theorem. According to the proposed method, the numerator and denominator of Pad′e approximant are extended from polynomial functions to a series composed of any kind of function, which means that the generalized Pad′e approximant is not limited to some forms, but can be constructed in different forms in solving different problems. Thus, many existing modifications of Pad′e approximation method can be considered to be the special cases of the proposed method. For solving homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits of strongly nonlinear autonomous oscillators, two novel kinds of generalized Pad′e approximants are constructed. Then, some examples are given to show the validity of the present method. To show the accuracy of the method, all solutions obtained in this paper are compared with those of the Runge–Kutta method.

Heteroclinic cycles in a new class of four-dimensional discontinuous piecewise affine systems

It is a huge challenge to give an existence theorem for heteroclinic cycles in the high-dimensional discontinuous piecewise systems（DPSs）. This paper first provides a new class of four-dimensional（4 D） two-zone discontinuous piecewise affine systems（DPASs）, and then gives a useful criterion to ensure the existence of heteroclinic cycles in the systems by rigorous mathematical analysis. To illustrate the feasibility and efficiency of the theory, two numerical examples, exhibiting chaotic behaviors in a small neighborhood of heteroclinic cycles, are discussed.

Heteroclinic and Homoclinic Connections between the Sun-Earth Triangular Points and Quasi-Satellite Orbits for Solar Observations

Investigation of new orbit geometries exhibits a very attractive behavior for a spacecraft to monitor space weather coming from the Sun. Several orbit transfer mechanisms are analyzed as potential alternatives to monitor solar activity such as a sub-solar orbit or quasi-satellite orbit and short and long heteroclinic and homoclinic connections between the triangular points L4 and L5 and the collinear point L3 of the CRTBP （circular restricted three-body problem） in the Sun-Earth system. These trajectories could serve as channels through where material can be transported from L5 to L3 by performing small maneuvers at the departure of the Trojan orbit. The size of these maneuvers at L5 is between 299 m/s and 730 m/s depending on the transfer time of the trajectory and does not need any deterministic maneuvers at L3. Our results suggest that material may also be transported from the Trojan orbits to quasi-satellite orbits or even displaced quasi-satellite orbits.

BIFURCATIONS TO A HETEROCLINIC MANIFOLD WITH NONHYPERBOLIC EQUILIBRIA IN R^n

The authors study bifurcations from a heteroclinic manifold connecting two non-hyperbolic equilibrium P-0 and P-1 for a n-dimensional dynamical system. They show that under some assumptions, each equilibrium P-i splits into two equilibria <(P)over tilde (i)> and P-i(alpha), i = 0, 1, and find the Melnikov vector conditions assuring the existence of a heteroclinic orbit from P-1(alpha) to P-0(alpha) along directions that are tangent to the strong unstable (resp.strong stable) manifold of P-1(alpha) (resp.P-0(alpha)). The exponential trichotomy and the unified and geometrical method are used to prove their results.

HETEROCLINIC BIFURCATIONS OF A PREY-PREDATOR FISHERY MODEL WITH IMPULSIVE HARVESTING

In this paper, we consider a prey-predator fishery model with Allee effect and state- dependent impulsive harvesting. First, we investigate the existence of order-1 heteroclinic cycle. Second, choosing p as a control parameter, we obtain the sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of order-1 periodic solution of system （2.3） by using the geometry theory of semi-continuous dynamic systems. Finally, on the basis of the theory of rotated vector fields, heteroclinic bifurcation to perturbed system of system （2.3） is also studied. The methods used in this paper are novel to prove the existence of order-1 heteroclinic cycle and heteroclinic bifurcations.

Bifurcations of heteroclinic loops

By generalizing the Floquet method from periodic systems to systems with exponential dichotomy, a local coordinate system is established in a neighborhood of the heteroclinic loop \%Γ\% to study the bifurcation problems of homoclinic and periodic orbits. Asymptotic expressions of the bifurcation surfaces and their relative positions are given. The results obtained in literature concerned with the 1\|hom bifurcation surfaces are improved and extended to the nontransversal case. Existence regions of the 1\|per orbits bifurcated from Γ are described, and the uniqueness and incoexistence of the 1\|hom and 1\|per orbit and the inexistence of the 2\|hom and 2\|per orbit are also obtained.

The existence and its associated existing regions are given for the 1-hom orbit and the 1-per orbit, respectively, and bifurcation surfaces of the two-fold periodic orbit are also obtained. At last, these bifurcation results are applied to the fine heteroclinic loop for the planar system, which leads to some new and interesting results.

The hyperbolic Lindstedt-Poincaré method is applied to determine the homoclinic and heteroclinic solutions of cubic strongly nonlinear oscillators of the form x + c1 x + c3 x 3= ε f (μ,x,x).In the method,the hyperbolic functions are employed instead of the periodic functions in the Lindstedt-Poincaré procedure.Critical value of parameter μ under which there exists homoclinic or heteroclinic orbit can be determined by the perturbation procedure.Typical applications are studied in detail.To illustrate the accuracy of the present method,its predictions are compared with those of Runge-Kutta method.
