Abstract

We present new examples of accumulation of secants for orbits (of a real analytic three-dimensional vector fields) having the origin as only ω-limit point. These new examples have the structure of a proper algebraic variety of \(\mathbb {S}^{2}\) intersected with a cone. In particular, we present explicit examples of accumulation of secants sets which are not in the list of possibilities of the classical Poincaréé-Bendixson Theorem.
