Abstract

It is shown that transverse homoclinic intersections such as the ones described by the Melnikov theory can be computed by a local analysis of the complex-Time singularities of the solutions. This provides a new algorithmic procedure to compute homoclinic intersections in n-dimensions once the homoclinic manifold is known. It also gives new insights on the singularity structure of integrable and nonintegrable systems.
