where the function F :Λ Λ is continuous and Λ is a bounded subset of Rn. Here, R and Z denote the
→
sets of real numbers and integers, respectively. The system under investigation is a hybrid one, since it
combines the dynamics of an impulsive differential equation with a discrete map. Our main objective
is to prove rigorously the existence of homoclinic and heteroclinic solutions in the dynamics of (1.1)
provided that (1.2) possesses such solutions.
Theideaoftheusageofdiscontinuousperturbationstogeneratehomoclinicandheteroclinicmotions
insystemsofdifferentialequationswasfirstrealizedinthepapers[3,7]onthebasisoffunctionalspaces.
It wasshownin [3]that the chaotic attractorofthe relaysystem,whichwasintroducedin the paper [6],
consists of homoclinic solutions. Similar results for impulsive differential equations were obtained in the
study [7] by taking advantage of the moments of impulses.
Theexistenceofhomoclinicandheteroclinicmotionsinsystemswithimpulseswerealsoinvestigated
in the papers [9, 11, 12, 14, 18, 26, 27]. The existence and multiplicity of fast homoclinic solutions for a
classofdampedvibrationproblemswithimpulsiveeffectswereinvestigatedin[26]byusingthemountain
passtheoremandthe symmetricmountainpasstheoreminthe criticalpointtheory. The mountainpass
theoremwasalsoutilizedin[11,18]toshowthepresenceofhomoclinicmotionsinsecondorderimpulsive
systems. On the other hand, Wei and Chen [22, 23] considered the existence of heteroclinic cycles in
predator-prey systems with Allee effect and state-dependent impulsive harvesting within the scope of
their studies. ZhangandLi [27] provedthe existence ofatleastone non-zerohomoclinic solution, which
is generated by impulses, under appropriate conditions for a class of impulsive second order differential
equations. HanandZhang[14]obtainedtheexistenceofhomoclinicsolutionsforaclassofasymptotically
linear or sublinear Hamiltonian systems with impulses by using variational methods. It was mentioned
in [14] that no homoclinic solutions existfor the system under investigationwithout impulses. However,
in the present study, the emergence of homoclinic and heteroclinic motions are completely provided by
theinfluenceofadiscretemapinsteadofimpulsiveeffects. Additionally,ourresultsarevalidforsystems
with arbitrary high dimensions.
The rest of the paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we discuss bounded solutions of (1.1),
and present sufficient conditions for the existence of homoclinic and heteroclinic motions in the system.
Section 3 is devotedfor the main results of the paper. In this part, we show the connectionbetween the
stableandunstablesetsoftheimpulsivesystem(1.1)andthediscretemap(1.2),andprovetheexistence
of homoclinic and heteroclinic solutions in (1.1). Examples concerning homoclinic and heteroclinic
motions in an impulsive Duffing equation are provided in Section 4. Finally, some concluding remarks
are given in Section 5.

Euclidean norm for matrices [16].

3 Homoclinic and heteroclinic motions
In this section, first of all, we will describe the stable, unstable and hyperbolic sets as well as the
homoclinic and heteroclinic motions for both system (1.1) and the discrete map (1.2). These definitions
were introduced in the papers [3, 7]. After that the existence of homoclinic and heteroclinic motions in
the dynamics of (1.1) will be proved.
Consider the set Θ described in the previous section once again. The stable set of a sequence ζ Θ
∈
is defined as
Ws(ζ)= η Θ η ζ 0 as k ,
k k
{ ∈ | k − k→ →∞}
and the unstable set of ζ is
Wu(ζ)= η Θ η ζ 0 as k .
k k
{ ∈ | k − k→ →−∞}
The set Θ is called hyperbolic if for each ζ Θ the stable and unstable sets of ζ contain at least one

On the other hand, let us denote by A the set consisting of all bounded on R solutions of sys-
tem (1.1). A bounded solution φ (t) A belongs to the stable set Ws(φ (t)) of φ (t) A if
η ζ ζ

φ (t) φ (t) 0 as t . Besides, φ (t) is an element of the unstable set Wu(φ (t)) of φ (t)

In what follows, we will denote by i((a,b)) the number of the terms of the sequence θ , k Z,

The connection between the stable sets of the solutions of (1.1) and (1.2) is provided in the next
assertion.
Lemma 3.1 Suppose that the conditions (C1) (C7) are fulfilled, and let ζ and η be elements of Θ. If

supports Theorem 3.1 such that φηe(t) converges to φη1(t) as time increases and converges to φη2(t) as
time decreases, i.e., φηe(t) is heteroclinic to φη1(t), φη2(t).
