ies that remain close to a normally hyperbolic <strong>slow</strong> manifold must be “expo-<br />

nentially close” to the manifold except for short segments where the trajectory<br />

approaches the <strong>slow</strong> manifold along its stable manifold <strong>and</strong> departs along its<br />

unstable manifold. Existence of the homoclinic orbit depends upon how the<br />

four segments of its <strong>fast</strong>-<strong>slow</strong> decomposition fit together:<br />

(F1) The <strong>one</strong> dimensional W u (q) approaches Cr along its <strong>two</strong> dimensional stable<br />

manifold W s (Cr,ǫ). Intersection of these manifolds cannot be transverse<br />

<strong>and</strong> occurs only for parameter values that lie along a curve in the (p, s)<br />

parameter plane.<br />

(S1) The Exchange Lemma [68] was developed to analyze the flow map for tra-<br />

jectories that approach Cr,ǫ along its stable manifold <strong>and</strong> depart Cr,ǫ along<br />

its unstable manifold.<br />

(F2) The <strong>fast</strong> jump from a neighborhood of Cr,ǫ to a neighborhood of Cl,ǫ occurs<br />

along a transversal intersection of the <strong>two</strong> dimensional W s (Cl,ǫ) <strong>and</strong> <strong>two</strong><br />

dimensional W u (Cr,ǫ).<br />

(S2) The connection from Cl,ǫ to q lies close to an intersection of the <strong>two</strong> dimen-<br />

sional W u (Cl,ǫ) <strong>and</strong> the <strong>two</strong> dimensional W s (q). Previous analysis has dealt<br />

<strong>with</strong> parameter regions where the connection (S2) exists <strong>and</strong> is transversal,<br />

but it cannot persist up to the Hopf curve in the (p, s)-plane.<br />

Proposition 5.3.1. There exists a region in (p, s)-parameter space near the Hopf U-<br />

curve where no trajectories close to Cl,ǫ lie in W s (q).<br />
