AbstractThe anisotropic Kepler problem has a group of symmetries with three generators; they are symmetries respect to zero velocity curve and the two axes of motion’s plane. For a fixed negative energy level it has four homothetic orbits. We describe the symmetric periodic orbits near these homothetic orbits. Full details and proofs will appear elsewhere (Casasayas-Llibre).

AbstractA linearised treatment is presented of vertical bifurcations of symmetric periodic orbits(bifurcations of plane with three-dimensional orbits) in the circular restricted problem. Recent work on bifurcations from vertical-critical orbits (av = ±1) is extended to deal with the v more general situation of bifurcations from vertical self-resonant orbits (av = cos(2Πn/m) for integer m,n) and it is shown that in this more general case bifurcating families of three-dimensional orbits always occur in pairs, the orbital symmetry properties being governed by the evenness or oddness of the integer m. The applicability of the theory to the elliptic restricted problem is discussed.

This paper is devoted to the study of bifurcation phenomena of double homoclinic loops in reversible systems. With the aid of a suitable local coordinate system, the Poincaré map is constructed. By means of the bifurcation equation, we perform a detailed study to obtain fruitful results, and demonstrate the existence of the R-symmetric large homoclinic orbit of new type near the primary double homoclinic loops, the existence of infinitely many R-symmetric periodic orbits accumulating onto the R-symmetric large homoclinic orbit, and the coexistence of R-symmetric large homoclinic orbit and the double homoclinic loops. The homoclinic bellow can also be found under suitable perturbation. The relevant bifurcation surfaces and the existence regions are located.

For polynomial vector fields in ℝ3, in general, it is very difficult to detect the existence of an open set of periodic orbits in their phase portraits. Here, we characterize a class of polynomial vector fields of arbitrary even degree having an open set of periodic orbits. The main two tools for proving this result are, first, the existence in the phase portrait of a symmetry with respect to a plane and, second, the existence of two symmetric heteroclinic loops.

Heteroclinic bifurcations with orbit-flips and inclination-flips are investigated in a four-dimensional reversible system by using the method originally established in [Zhu, 1998; Zhu & Xia, 1998]. The existence and coexistence of R-symmetric homoclinic orbit and R-symmetric heteroclinic orbit, R-symmetric homoclinic orbit and R-symmetric periodic orbit are obtained. The double R-symmetric homoclinic bifurcation is found, and the continuum of R-symmetric periodic orbits accumulating into a homoclinic orbit is also demonstrated. Moreover, the bifurcation surfaces and the existence regions are given, and the corresponding bifurcation diagrams are drawn.
