Abstract
This paper provides for the first time correct third-order homoclinic predictors in n-dimensional ODEs near a generic Bogdanov-Takens bifurcation point, which can be used to start the numerical continuation of the appearing homoclinic orbits. To achieve this, higher-order time approximations to the nonlinear time transformation in the Lindstedt-Poincar\'e method are essential. Moreover, a correct transform between approximations to solutions in the normal form and approximations to solutions on the parameter-dependent center manifold is derived rigorously. A detailed comparison is done between applying different normal forms (smooth and orbital), different phase conditions, and different perturbation methods (regular and Lindstedt-Poincar\'e) to approximate the homoclinic solution near Bogdanov-Takens points. Examples demonstrating the correctness of the predictors are given. The new homoclinic predictors are implemented in the open-source MATLAB/GNU Octave continuation package MatCont.
