Numerical Analysis of the Orientability of Homoclinic Trajectories

  • Chapter
Bifurcation and Chaos: Analysis, Algorithms, Applications

Abstract

Two numerical methods for the analysis of the orientability of homoclinic trajectories (i.e. the orientability of invariant manifolds of the corresponding saddle) are presented. The methods are developed for the case when the saddle has only one positive eigenvalue. As an example, one of the methods is applied to Lorenz equations.
