Abstract
In [Parker et al., 2008a] group theory was employed to prove the existence of homoclinic cycles in forced symmetry-breaking of simple (SC), face-centered (FCC), and body-centered (BCC) cubic planforms. In this paper we extend this classification demonstrating that more elaborate heteroclinic cycles and networks can arise through the same process. Our methods naturally generate graphs that represent possible heteroclinic cycles and networks. The results do not depend on the representation of the symmetry group and are thus quite general. This study is motivated by pattern formation in three dimensions which occur in reaction–diffusion systems, certain nonlinear optical systems and the polyacrylamide methylene blue oxygen reaction. This work extends previous work by Parker et al. [2006, 2008a, 2008b] and Hou and Golubitsky [1997].
