Ordered intricacy of Shilnikov saddle-focus homoclinics in symmetric systems.

Using the technique of Poincaré return maps, we disclose an intricate order of subsequent homoclinic bifurcations near the primary figure-8 connection of the Shilnikov saddle-focus in systems with reflection symmetry. We also reveal admissible shapes of the corresponding bifurcation curves in a parameter space. Their scalability ratio and organization are proven to be universal for such homoclinic bifurcations of higher orders.
