Summary:
A geometric model of a reinjected cuspidal horseshoe is constructed, that resembles the standard horseshoe, but where the set of points that escape are now reinjected and contribute to richer dynamics. We show it is observed in the unfolding of a three-dimensional vector field possessing an inclination-flip homoclinic orbit with a resonant hyperbolic equilibrium. We use techniques from classical dynamical systems theory and rigorous computational symbolic dynamics with algebraic topology to show that for suitable parameters the flow contains a strange attractor.
