In this paper for any given positive integer κ ? dimN(L) we prove that there is a perturbation ofL which has an exactly κ-dimensional null. Actually, our proof gives a construction of the perturbation. We further apply our result to concrete examples of differential equations with degenerate homoclinic orbits, showing how many independent homoclinic orbits can be bifurcated from a perturbation.展开更多

文摘It is known that small perturbations of a Fredholm operatorL have nulls of dimension not larger than dimN(L). In this paper for any given positive integer κ ? dimN(L) we prove that there is a perturbation ofL which has an exactly κ-dimensional null. Actually, our proof gives a construction of the perturbation. We further apply our result to concrete examples of differential equations with degenerate homoclinic orbits, showing how many independent homoclinic orbits can be bifurcated from a perturbation.
