Abstract

The main features of the orbit behavior for a Hamiltonian system in a neighborhood of a homoclinic orbit to a saddle-focus equilibrium or of a contour made up of two saddle-foci and two heteroclinic orbits to them are presented. These features includes description of hyperbolic subsets and main bifurcations when varying a value of the Hamiltonian and parameters. The proofs of results about bifurcations are given.
