Exponential Dichotomies and Homoclinic Orbits from Heteroclinic Cycles

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the homoclinic bifurcations from a heteroclinic cycle by using exponential dichotomies. We give a Melnikov—type condition assuring the existence of homoclinic orbits form heteroclinic cycle. We improve some important results.
