Synopsis

Under appropriate conditions on b and a function g with 2k +1 simple zeros, the equation

has a maximal compact invariant set Ab,g in C([−1,0]R), consisting of the zeros of g and the one-dimensional unstable manifolds of these zeros. For k =2, it is shown that there may be a saddle connection in the flow on Ab,g for some g. This implies that the zeros of g as elements of the flow on Ab,g cannot be given the natural order of the reals.
