Abstract
What set does an experimenter see while he simulating numerically the dynamics near a Bykov cycle? In this paper, we discuss the fate of typical trajectories near a Bykov cycle for a \(C^1\)-vector field and we establish that despite the existence of shift dynamics (chaos) nearby, Lebesgue—almost all trajectories starting in a small neighbourhood of a Bykov cycle are repelled.
