Critical-curve continuation conjecture for the gamma-2 family
Critical-curve continuation conjecture for the gamma-2 family
Let be the triple Copenhagen homoclinic family, let be the critical curve, and let and be the relevant libration points. Gamma-2 critical-curve conjecture. The family always continues to , where it vanishes with and in the saddle-node bifurcation. Numerical continuation and normal-form calculations support this proposed global behavior, but the claim is not established rigorously.
