Local and global behavior near homoclinic orbits

We study the local behavior of systems near homoclinic orbits to stationary points of saddle-focus type. We explicitly describe how a periodic orbit approaches homoclinicity and, with the help of numerical examples, discuss how these results relate to global patterns of bifurcations.
