Canards in equation (3.17),(3.18)<br />

Figure 3.12: Sketch of the singular bifurcation diagram for the FitzHugh-<br />

Nagumo equation (3.6). The points A, B <strong>and</strong> C are defined<br />

in (3.23). The part of the diagram obtained from equations<br />

(3.17),(3.18) corresponds to the case “ǫ 2 = 0 <strong>and</strong>ǫ 0 <strong>and</strong><br />

small”. In this scenario the canards to the right of p= p− are<br />

stable (see Proposition 3.3.4). The phase portrait in the upper<br />

right for equation (3.17) shows the geometry of a small periodic<br />

orbit generated in the Hopf bifurcation of (3.17). The <strong>two</strong><br />

phase portraits below it show the geometry of these periodic<br />

orbits further away from the Hopf bifurcation for (3.17),(3.18).
