Abstract

The Harper map is one of the simplest chaotic systems exhibiting reconnection of invariant manifolds. The method of asymptotics beyond all orders (ABAO) is used to construct stable/unstable manifolds of the Harper map. When the parameter changes to the reconnection threshold, the stable/unstable manifolds are shown to acquire new oscillatory portion corresponding to the heteroclinic tangle after the reconnection.
