We derive two explicit asymptotics for the homoclinic orbits near a generic BT point. A recent generalization of the Lindstedt--Poincar\u00e9 (L-P) method is applied to approximate a homoclinic solution of a strongly nonlinear autonomous system that results from blowing up the BT normal form. This solution allows us to derive an accurate second-order homoclinic predictor to the homoclinic branch rooted at a generic BT point of an $n$-dimensional ordinary differential equation (ODE). We prove that the method leads to the same homoclinicity conditions as the classical Melnikov technique, the branching method, and the regular perturbation (R-P) method. However, it is known that the R-P method leads to a \u201cparasitic turn\u201d near the saddle point. The new asymptotics based on the L-P method do not have this turn, making them more suitable for numerical implementation. We show how to use these asymptotics to calculate the initial data to continue homoclinic orbits in two free parameters. The new homoclinic predictors are implemented in the MATLAB continuation package MatCont to initialize the continuation of homoclinic orbits from a BT point. Two examples with multidimensional state spaces are included.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1137\/15m1017491","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,5,17]],"date-time":"2016-05-17T11:18:49Z","timestamp":1463483929000},"page":"952-980","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Initialization of Homoclinic Solutions near Bogdanov--Takens Points: Lindstedt--Poincar\u00e9 Compared with Regular Perturbation Method"],"prefix":"10.1137","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"B.","family":"Al-Hdaibat","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"W.","family":"Govaerts","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yu.
