摘要: In this paper, a non-existence condition for homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits in n-dimensional, continuous-time, and smooth systems is obtained. Based on this result and an elementary example, it can be conjectured that there is a fourth kind of chaos in polynomial ordinary differential equation (ODE) systems characterized by the nonexistence of homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits.
