Abstract

Homoclinic tangencies in the Hénon family f_θ{symbol} (x, y) = (λ - x² + by, x) for the parameter values b = 0.3 and λ ε{lunate} [1.270, 1.420] are investigated. Our main observation is that there exist three intervals comprising 93 percent of the values of the parameter λ such that for a dense set of parameter values in these intervals the Hénon family possesses a homoclinic tangency. Therefore, one should expect long parameter intervals where the Hénon family is not structurally stable. Strong numerical support for this observation is provided.
