Homoclinic integrals for a quadratic-force oscillator ($I_0=\frac{24\sqrt{2}}{5}{a}^{5/2},I_1=-\frac{24\sqrt{2}}{7}{a}^{7/2}$)

The conservative equation $u^{\prime \prime }=u^2-a^2$ has a saddle loop with $v_{+}(u)=\sqrt{2/3}(a-u)\sqrt{u+2a}$ for $-2a\le u\le a$. Its homoclinic orbit integrals are $I_0=2{\int }_{-2a}^a{v}_{+}(u)du$ and $I_1=2{\int }_{-2a}^{a}u{v}_{+}(u)du$. Substitution $s=u+2a$ evaluates them as displayed. For a weak perturbation $\epsilon (\beta +u)u^{\prime }$, integrating the energy derivative gives $\beta I_0+I_1=0$, hence $\beta =5a/7$. The nonzero derivative $I_0$ makes this a simple first-order splitting zero.
