We consider 4-dimensional, real, analytic Hamiltonian systems with a saddle center equilibrium (related to a pair of real and a pair of imaginary eigenvalues) and a homoclinic orbit to it. We find conditions for the existence of transversal homoclinic orbits to periodic orbits of long period in ever

✦ Synopsis
We derive polynomial rates of convergence for orbits of maps that converge to an equilibrium via the center manifold. Similar estimates are obtained for the variational equation along these orbits. We show how these results apply to the analysis of discrete saddle-node homoclinics.

Perturbed discrete systems like x n+1 = f x n + µg x n µ , x n ∈ N , n ∈ , when the associated unperturbed map (µ = 0) is not invertible and has a critical orbit γ n homoclinic to a hyperbolic fixed point p are studied. By critical we mean that the f γ n are invertible for any integer n = 0 but f γ
