Closed Curves of Global bifurcations in Chua's equation: a Mechanism for their Formation

In this work, the presence of closed bifurcation curves of homoclinic and heteroclinic connections has been detected in Chua’s equation. We have numerically found and qualitatively described the mechanism of the formation/destruction of such closed curves. We relate this phenomenon to a failure of transversality in a curve of T-points in a three-dimensional parameter space.
