Abstract

By using the local active coordinates consisting of tangent vectors of the invariant subspaces, as well as the Silnikov coordinates, the simple normal form is established in the neighborhood of the double homoclinic loops with bellows configuration in a general system, then the dynamics near the homoclinic bellows is investigated, and the existence, uniqueness of the homoclinic orbits and periodic orbits with various patterns bifurcated from the primary orbits are demonstrated, and the corresponding bifurcation curves (or surfaces) and existence regions are located.
