โฆ Synopsis
Using Melnikov's method we are able to prove the existence of transverse homoclinic orbits and therefore the existence of a horseshoe in a special restricted three-body problem. This analysis is an alternative to the one described by Moser " "Stable and Random Motions in Dynamical Systems," Princeton Univ. Press. Princeton. NJ, 1973), based on Sitnikov's original work (Dokl. Akad. Nauk. USSR 133. No. 2 (1960), 303 306). where the task is accomplished using a more direct construction of the horseshoe. I 1495 Acadenic Press. Inc.

Differential equations are considered which contain a small parameter. When the parameter is zero the equation is autonomous with a hyperbolic equilibrium and a homoclinic solution. No restriction is placed on the dimension of the phase space or the dimension of intersection of the stable and unstab
