Suppose that $f$ is a surface diffeomorphism with a hyperbolic fixed point $\mathcal O$ and this fixed point has a transversal homoclinic orbit. It is well known that in a vicinity of this type of homoclinic there are hyperbolic invariants sets. We introduce smooth invariants for the homoclinic orbit which we call the multipliers. As an application, we study the influence of the multipliers on numerical invariants of the hyperbolic invariant sets as the vicinity becomes small.
