Abstract

The complexity of a dynamical system exhibiting a homoclinic orbit is given by its dynamical core which, due to Cantwell, Conlon and Fenley, is a set uniquely determined in the isotopy class, up to a topological conjugacy, of the end-periodic map relative to that orbit. In this work we prove that a sufficient condition to determine the dynamical core of a homoclinic orbit of a Smale diffeomorphism on the 2-disk is the non-existence of bigons relative to this orbit. Moreover, we propose a pruning method for eliminating bigons that can be used to find a Smale map without bigons and hence for finding the dynamical core. (AU)
