Abstract

Let F be a C3 diffeomorphism on a Banach space B. F has a homoclinic tube asymptotic to an invariant manifold. Around the homoclinic tube, Bernoulli shift dynamics of submanifolds is established through a shadowing lemma. This work removes an uncheckable condition of Silnikov (1968). Also, the result of Silnikov does not imply Bernoulli shift dynamics of a single map, but rather only provides a labeling of all invariant tubes around the homoclinic tube. The work of Silnikov was done in ℝn and the current work is done in a Banach space.
