Bifurcations of Double Homoclinic Loops in Reversible Systems

This paper is devoted to the study of bifurcation phenomena of double homoclinic loops in reversible systems. With the aid of a suitable local coordinate system, the Poincaré map is constructed. By means of the bifurcation equation, we perform a detailed study to obtain fruitful results, and demonstrate the existence of the R-symmetric large homoclinic orbit of new type near the primary double homoclinic loops, the existence of infinitely many R-symmetric periodic orbits accumulating onto the R-symmetric large homoclinic orbit, and the coexistence of R-symmetric large homoclinic orbit and the double homoclinic loops. The homoclinic bellow can also be found under suitable perturbation. The relevant bifurcation surfaces and the existence regions are located.
