Some remarks on the Melnikov function
We study the Melnikov function associated with a periodic perturbation of a differential equation having a homoclinic orbit. Our main interest is the characterization of perturbations that give rise to vanishing or non-vanishing of the Melnikov function. For this purpose we show that, in some cases,...
