In dynamic systems, some nonlinearities generate special connection problems of non-Z2symmetric homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits. Such orbits are important for analyzing problems of global bifurcation and chaos. In this paper, a general analytical method, based on the undetermined Padé approximation method, is proposed to construct non-Z2symmetric homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits which are affected by nonlinearity factors. Geometric and symmetrical characteristics of non-Z2heteroclinic orbits are analyzed in detail. An undetermined frequency coefficient and a corresponding new analytic expression are introduced to improve the accuracy of the orbit trajectory. The proposed method shows high precision results for the Nagumo system (one single orbit); general types of non-Z2symmetric nonlinear quintic systems (orbit with one cusp); and Z2symmetric system with high-order nonlinear terms (orbit with two cusps). Finally, numerical simulations are used to verify the techniques and demonstrate the enhanced efficiency and precision of the proposed method.

Different bounds on the conductivity of a composite material may improve on each other in different conductivity régimes. If so, the question arises of how to efficiently interpolate between the bounds. In this paper I show how to do an interpolation with a two-point Padé approximation method. For bounds on two-component composites the interpolation method is shown to be, in a sense, the best possible. The method is discussed in the context of equiaxed polycrystals where the classic Hashin-Shtrikman bounds and the more recent null-lagrangian bounds, partly improve on each other. Denoting the principal conductivities of the crystallite σ 1 ≼ σ 2 ≼ σ 3 , the method gives improved lower bounds for equiaxed polycrystals which have σ 2 (0.77σ 1 + 0.23σ 3 ) ≽ σ 1 σ 3 . The method also gives improved upper bounds.

In this paper we provide approximations for the error function using the Padé approximation method and the Fourier series method. These approximations have simple forms and acceptable bounds for the absolute error. Then we use them in diffusion theory.
