Abstract
We study a two-parameter family of standard maps: the so-called two-harmonic family. In particular, we study the areas of lobes formed by the stable and unstable manifolds. Variational methods are used to find heteroclinic orbits and their action. A specific pair of heteroclinic orbits is used to define a difference in action function and to study bifurcations in the stable and unstable manifolds. Using this idea, two phenomena are studied: the change of orientation of lobes and tangential intersections of stable and unstable manifolds.
