Abstract:
We describe a codimension-3 bifurcation surface in the space of $C^r$-smooth ($r\ge 3$) dynamical systems (with phase space of dimension 4 or higher) having an attractive two-dimensional invariant manifold with an infinite sequence of periodic orbits of alternating stability which converge to a homoclinic loop.
Key words and phrases:Codimension-3 homoclinic bifurcation, invariant manifold, swallow tail, limit cycle.
