Description

Abstract: "In 1969 Shilnikov described a bifurcation for families of ordinary differential equations involving n [> or =] 2 trajectories bi-asymptotic to a non-hyperbolic stationary point. At nearby parameter values the system has trajectories in correspondence with the full shift on n symbols. We investigate a simple (piecewise smooth) example with an infinite number of homoclinic loops. We also present a smooth example which shows how Shilnikov's mechanism is related to the Lorenz bifurcation by considering the unfolding of a previously unstudied codimension two bifurcation point."
