Abstract
The bifurcation of the birth of a closed invariant curve in the two-parameter unfolding of a two-dimensional diffeomorphism with a homoclinic tangency of invariant manifolds of a hyperbolic fixed point of neutral type (i.e. such that the Jacobian at the fixed point equals to 1) is studied. The existence of periodic orbits with multipliers e±iψ (0 < ψ < π) is proved and the first Lyapunov value is computed. It is shown that, generically, the first Lyapunov value is non-zero and its sign coincides with the sign of some separatrix value (i.e. a function of coefficients of the return map near the global piece of the homoclinic orbit).
