Persistent homoclinic tangencies and the unfolding of cycles
The existence of solutions with prescribed period for a class of Hamiltonian systems with a Keplerian singularity is discussed.
We consider perturbations of n-dimensional maps having homo-heteroclinic connections of compact normally hyperbolic invariant manifolds. We justify the applicability of the Poincaré-Melnikov method by following a geometric approach. Several examples are included.
In this paper we provide the greatest lower bound about the number of (non-infinitesimal) limit cycles surrounding a unique singular point for a planar polynomial differential system of arbitrary degree.
