Abstract

We obtain existence and bifurcation theorems for homoclinic orbits in three-dimensional flows that are perturbations of families of planar Hamiltonian systems. The perturbations may or may not depend explicitly on time. We show how the results on periodic orbits of the preceding paper are related to the present homoclinic results, and apply them to a periodically forced Duffing equation with weak feedback.
