On the dynamics near a homoclinic network to a bifocus: switching and horseshoes

S Ibánez, A Rodrigues - International Journal of Bifurcation and …, 2015 - World Scientific
We study a homoclinic network associated to a nonresonant hyperbolic bifocus. It is proved
that on combining rotation with a nondegeneracy condition concerning the intersection of …

Torus-breakdown near a heteroclinic attractor: a case study

L Castro, A Rodrigues - International Journal of Bifurcation and …, 2021 - World Scientific
There are few explicit examples in the literature of vector fields exhibiting observable chaos
that may be proved analytically. This paper reports numerical experiments performed for an …

Unfolding a Bykov attractor: from an attracting torus to strange attractors

AAP Rodrigues - Journal of Dynamics and Differential Equations, 2022 - Springer
In this paper we present a comprehensive mechanism for the emergence of strange
attractors in a two-parametric family of differential equations acting on a three-dimensional …

Persistent switching near a heteroclinic model for the geodynamo problem

AAP Rodrigues - Chaos, Solitons & Fractals, 2013 - Elsevier
Modelling chaotic and intermittent behaviour, namely the excursions and reversals of the
geomagnetic field, is a big problem far from being solved. Armbruster et al.[5] considered …

Spiralling dynamics near heteroclinic networks

AAP Rodrigues, IS Labouriau - Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, 2014 - Elsevier
There are few explicit examples in the literature of vector fields exhibiting complex dynamics
that may be proved analytically. We construct explicitly a two parameter family of vector …

Repelling dynamics near a Bykov cycle

AAP Rodrigues - Journal of Dynamics and Differential Equations, 2013 - Springer
What set does an experimenter see while he simulating numerically the dynamics near a
Bykov cycle? In this paper, we discuss the fate of typical trajectories near a Bykov cycle for a …

" Large" strange attractors in the unfolding of a heteroclinic attractor

AAP Rodrigues - arXiv preprint arXiv:2111.02556, 2021 - arxiv.org
In this paper we present a mechanism for the emergence of strange attractors in a one-
parameter family of differential equations acting on a 3-dimensional sphere. When the …

[HTML][HTML] Using Lin's method to solve Bykov's problems

J Knobloch, JSW Lamb, KN Webster - Journal of Differential Equations, 2014 - Elsevier
We consider nonwandering dynamics near heteroclinic cycles between two hyperbolic
equilibria. The constituting heteroclinic connections are assumed to be such that one of …

[HTML][HTML] Dense heteroclinic tangencies near a Bykov cycle

IS Labouriau, AAP Rodrigues - Journal of Differential Equations, 2015 - Elsevier
This article presents a mechanism for the coexistence of hyperbolic and non-hyperbolic
dynamics arising in a neighbourhood of a Bykov cycle where trajectories turn in opposite …

Switching in heteroclinic networks

SBSD Castro, A Lohse - SIAM Journal on Applied Dynamical Systems, 2016 - SIAM
We study the dynamics near heteroclinic networks for which all eigenvalues of the
linearization at the equilibria are real. A common connection and an assumption on the …
