Definition 4.2 By analogy with the work
[
2
]
in the collection {R
1
, R
2
, . . . , R
k
}
we will introduce a relation of partial order as follows: R
i
< R
j
, if there exist
i
1
, i
2
, . . . , i
r
such that i
1
= i, i
r
= j and W
s
(R
i
p
)
T
W
u
(R
i
p+1
) 6= ∅ for all p =
1, 2, . . . , r −1.
Definition 4.3 The ordered collection of r (r ≥ 2) different indexes {i
1
, i
2
, . . . , i
r
}
satisfying the condition R
i
1
< R
i
2
< ··· < R
i
r
< R
i
1
is called an r-
cycle in the collection {R
1
, R
2
. . . , R
k
}. The 1-cycle is called such index i that
W
s
(R
i
)
T
W
u
(R
i
) \ R
i
6= ∅.
Note, that the introduced above notion of partial order is a slight modification
of the corresponding notion from
[
33, p.61
]
.
Definition 4.4 Following the works
[

,

[

, the collection of points
{x
1
, x
2
, . . . , x
n
} ⊆ X (or K := H(x
1
) ∪ H(x
2
) ∪ ··· ∪ H(x
n
)) is said to be a
generalized homoclinic contour, if ω
x
i
∩ α
x
i+1
6= ∅ for all i = 1, 2, . . . , n, where
x
n+1
= x
1
.
Lemma 4.2 Let Σ ⊆ X be a compact invariant set and {x
1
, x
2
, . . . , x
n
} be a
generalized homoclinic contour. Then (x
i
, x
j
) ∈ P (Σ) for all i, j = 1, 2, . . . , n.
Proof. Let i, j ∈ {1, 2, . . . , n}. Suppose, for example, that i ≤ j and 0 ≤ p =
j − i ≤ n. We will show that (x
i
, x
j
) ∈ P (Σ). Let ε > 0 and t > 0. Since
ω
x
k
∩ α
x
k+1
6= ∅ for all k = i + 1, . . . , j − 1, then for the numbers ε > 0, t > 0
and the point x
k
(k = i, i + 1, . . . , j − 2) there exist t
0
k
> t, t
00
k
< −t and p
k
∈
ω
x
k
∩ α
x
k
such that ρ(x
k

k
, p
k
) <
ε
3
and ρ(x
k
t
00
k
, p
k−1
) <
ε

. Let
x

:= x
i
, x

:=
x
i+1
t

, . . . ,
x
p−1
:= x

, t
1
:= t
0
i+1
− t
00
i+1
, . . . , t
p−1
:= −t
00
j
. It
is clear that {
x
0
, x
1
, . . . , x
p
; t
0
, t
1
, . . . , t
p−1
} is a (ε, t, π)-chain joining the points x
i
and x
j
. The lemma is proved.
In Lemmas 4.3-4.5 we will suppose that R(Σ) consists of finite number of dif-
ferent classes of equivalence R
1
, R
2
. . . , R
k
, i.e. R(Σ) = R
1
t R
2
t ··· t R
k
. Let
us establish some properties of the sets R
i
(i = 1, 2, . . . , k).
Lemma 4.3 In the collection {R
1
, R
2
. . . , R
k
} there is no r-cycles (r ≥ 1).
Proof. Assuming the contrary, we obtain that there exist r ≥ 1 and i
1
, i
2
, . . . , i
r
such that R
i
1
< R
i
2
< ··· < R
i
r
< R
i
1
. As well as in Lemma 4.2, it is possible
to prove that the set M := R
i
1
∪··· ∪ R
i
r
belongs to one class of equivalence and,
consequently, r = 1. We will show that in the collection {R
1
, R
2
. . . , R
k
} 1-cycles
are absent too. In fact, if we suppose that there exist 1 ≤ i ≤ r and a point x from
(W
s
(R
i
) ∩W
u
(R
i
)) \R
i
, then H(x
0
) ∪R
i
⊆ (Σ). Moreover, H(x
0
) ∪R
i
belongs to
one class of equivalence and, consequently, H(x
0
)∪R
i
⊆ R
i
. The latter contradicts
to the choice of the point x
0
. The lemma is proved.
