Abstract

We study the double singular point of nonlinearZ 2-symmetric systems with two parameters, where the systems have a two-dimensional null space. We show the existence of a path of heteroclinic cycles bifurcating from the double singular point, thus provide a new approach through local steady-state bifurcations to global dynamical bifurcations.
