the <strong>two</strong> dimensional stable manifold of an equilibrium is tangent to the <strong>two</strong> di-<br />

mensional unstable manifold of a <strong>one</strong> dimensional <strong>slow</strong> manifold. 2 Since the<br />

analysis of [18] does not explicitly consider <strong>slow</strong> manifolds of the system, this<br />

tangency does not appear in their list of possibilities for the termination of a<br />

C-curve. Note that the <strong>slow</strong> manifolds of the system are unique only up to “ex-<br />

p<strong>one</strong>ntially small” quantities of the form exp(−c/ǫ), c>0, so our analysis only<br />

identifies the termination point up to exp<strong>one</strong>ntially small values of the param-<br />

eters.<br />

Fast-<strong>slow</strong> dynamical systems can be written in the form<br />

ǫ ˙x = ǫ dx<br />

= f (x, y,ǫ)<br />

dτ<br />

(5.2)<br />

˙y = dy<br />

= g(x, y,ǫ)<br />

dτ<br />

where (x, y)∈R m × R n <strong>and</strong>ǫ is a small parameter 0
