We consider a singularly perturbed system where the fast dynamic of the unperturbed problem exhibits a trajectory homoclinic to a critical point. We assume that the slow time system is $1$-dimensional and it admits a unique critical point, which undergoes a bifurcation as a second parameter varies: transcritical, saddle-node, or pitchfork.

The purpose of this paper is to construct curves which divide the $2$-dimensional parameters space in different areas where $( ilde{x}(t,ep,la), ilde{y}(t,ep,la))$ is either homoclinic, heteroclinic, or unbounded. We derive explicit formulas for the tangents of these curves. The results are illustrated by some examples.

Abstract

We consider a singularly perturbed system where the fast dynamic of the unperturbed problem exhibits a trajectory homoclinic to a critical point. We assume that the slow time system is $1$-dimensional and it admits a unique critical point, which undergoes a bifurcation as a second parameter varies: transcritical, saddle-node, or pitchfork. In this setting Battelli and Palmer proved the existence of a unique trajectory $( ilde{x}(t,ep,la), ilde{y}(t,ep,la))$ homoclinic to the slow manifold. The purpose of this paper is to construct curves which divide the $2$-dimensional parameters space in different areas where $( ilde{x}(t,ep,la), ilde{y}(t,ep,la))$ is either homoclinic, heteroclinic, or unbounded. We derive explicit formulas for the tangents of these curves. The results are illustrated by some examples.
