Much work has been done in the last hundred years in the study of the behaviour
of parameterized systems of equations, and specifically in the study of bifurcations
of solutions. However, until recently, most of this work has been done in the
context of local bifurcations, that is bifurcations of fixed points of flows and maps.
These bifurcations are termed local because they depend only upon behaviour in
a neighbourhood of a fixed point.
More recently, work has been done in the field of global bifurcations. A global
bifurcation depends on a non-local structure in the flow; the main structures that
have been studied are homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits. These structures and
the bifurcations associated with them display a complicated variety of behaviours,
and frequently feature as an organizing centre for chaotic systems. In the present
work, we concentrate entirely on homoclinic systems.
