Belyakov-Devaney bifurcation conjecture for triple Copenhagen homoclinics

Let γ1,2,3\gamma_{1,2,3} denote the short triple Copenhagen homoclinic orbits and let D\mathfrak{D} be the critical curve in parameter space. Belyakov-Devaney conjecture. Any parameter continuation of γ1,2,3\gamma_{1,2,3} toward D\mathfrak{D} results in a Belyakov-Devaney bifurcation before the family terminates. The conjecture proposes a common bifurcation mechanism for these short homoclinic families, based on the observed type II behavior.
