Description
Summary:We perform a bifurcation analysis of an orbit homoclinic to a hyperbolic saddle of a vector field in R4. We give an expression of the gap between returning points in a transverse section by renormalizing system, through which we find the existence of homoclinic-doubling bifurcation in the case 1+α>β>ν. Meanwhile, after reparametrizing the parameter, a periodic-doubling bifurcation appears and may be close to a saddle-node bifurcation, if the parameter is varied. These scenarios correspond to the occurrence of chaos. Based on our analysis, bifurcation diagrams of these bifurcations are depicted.
