4.6 Boundary conditions are blue <strong>and</strong> red, the critical manifold C0 is<br />

black <strong>and</strong> the trajectory that lies (disregarding transients) in the<br />

<strong>slow</strong> manifold is green. (a) The initialization step is shown. The<br />

solution is identically constant for all t∈[0, 1]. (b) The primary<br />

continuation parameterαhas been moved, T will increase <strong>and</strong> a<br />

<strong>slow</strong> manifold piece is computed. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 116<br />

5.1 Bifurcation diagram for the FitzHugh-Nagumo equation (3.6).<br />

Shil’nikov homoclinic bifurcations (solid red) <strong>and</strong> Hopf bifurcations<br />

(solid blue) are shown forǫ = 0.01. The dashed curves<br />

show the singular limit (ǫ= 0) bifurcation curves for the homoclinic<br />

<strong>and</strong> Hopf bifurcations; see [56] <strong>and</strong> Section 5.3 for details<br />

on the singular limit part of the diagram. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 120<br />

5.2 Sketch of a homoclinic orbit to the unique equilibrium q. Fast<br />

(red) <strong>and</strong> <strong>slow</strong> (green) segments decompose the orbit into segments.<br />

5.3 Figures (a)-(c) show the movement of the stable manifold W s (q)<br />

(cyan) <strong>with</strong> respect to E u (Cl,ǫ) (red) <strong>and</strong> E s (Cl,ǫ) (green) in phase<br />

space on the section y=0.09 forǫ= 0.01. The parameter space<br />

diagram (d) shows the homoclinic C-curve (solid red), an extension<br />

of the C-curve of parameters where W u (q)∩W s (Cr,ǫ) is<br />

n<strong>one</strong>mpty, a curve that marks the tangency of W s (q) to E u (Cl,ǫ)<br />

(blue) <strong>and</strong> a curve that marks a distance between Cl,ǫ <strong>and</strong> W s (q)<br />

(dashed blue) of 0.01 where the arrows indicate the direction in<br />

which the distance is bigger than 0.01. The solid black squares in<br />

(d) show the parameter values for (a)-(c). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 129<br />

5.4 Phase space along the C-curve near its sharp turn: the parameter<br />

valuesǫ= 0.01, p=0.05 <strong>and</strong> s≈1.3254 lie on the C-curve. The<br />

homoclinic orbit (red), <strong>two</strong> periodic orbits born in the subcritical<br />

Hopf (blue), C0 (thin black), Cl,ǫ <strong>and</strong> Cr,ǫ (thick black) are shown.<br />

The manifold W s (q) (cyan) has been truncated at a fixed coordinate<br />

of y. Furthermore W s (Cl,ǫ) (green) is separated by Cl,ǫ into<br />

<strong>two</strong> comp<strong>one</strong>nts shown here by dark green trajectories interacting<br />

<strong>with</strong> Cm,ǫ <strong>and</strong> by light green trajectories that flow left from<br />

Cl,ǫ. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 132<br />
