Abstract: We establish the existence of several classes of multi-bump orbits homoclinic to resonance bands for completely-integrable Hamiltonian systems subject to small-amplitude Hamiltonian or dissipative perturbations. Each bump is a fast excursion away from the resonance band, and the bumps are interspersed with slow segments near the resonance band. The homoclinic orbits, which include multi-bump \v{S}ilnikov orbits, connect equilibria and periodic orbits in the resonance band. The main tools we use in the existence proofs are the exchange lemma with exponentially small error and the existence theory of orbits homoclinic to resonance bands which make only one fast excursion away from the resonance bands.
