Abstract

The entire dynamics in a neighbourhood of a reversible heteroclinic cycle involving a bifocus is far from being understood. In this article, using the well known theory of reversing symmetries, we prove that there are infinitely many pulses near a cycle involving two symmetric equilibria, a real saddle and a bifocus, giving rise to a complex network. We also conjecture that suspended blenders might appear in the neighbourhood of the network.
