Abstract:
We consider two-dimensional diffeomorphisms with homoclinic orbits to nonhyperbolic fixed
points. We assume that the point has arbitrary finite order degeneracy and is either of saddle-
node or weak saddle type. We consider two cases when the homoclinic orbit is transversal and
when a quadratic homoclinic tangency takes place. In the first case we give a complete description
of orbits entirely lying in a small neighborhood of the homoclinic orbit. In the second case we
study main bifurcations in one-parameter families that split generally the homoclinic tangency
but retain the degeneracy type of the fixed point.
