5.6.2 Mixed-Mode Oscillations<br />

Mixed-mode oscillations (MMOs) have been observed in many <strong>fast</strong>-<strong>slow</strong> sys-<br />

tems; see e.g. [92, 98, 99, 52]. MMOs are periodic orbits which consist of se-<br />

quences of small <strong>and</strong> large amplitude oscillations. The notation L s is used to<br />

indicate an MMO <strong>with</strong> L large <strong>and</strong> s small oscillations.<br />

Figure 5.9: Some examples of mixed-mode oscillations in the FitzHugh-<br />

Nagumo equation. Fixed parameter values areǫ = 0.01 <strong>and</strong><br />

s=1. Note that the period of the orbits has been re<strong>scale</strong>d to 1<br />

in (b) <strong>and</strong> (d).<br />

The FitzHugh-Nagumo equation (5.1) exhibits MMOs: the periodic orbits<br />

close to the homoclinic orbit make small oscillations near the equilibrium point<br />

in addition to large amplitude relaxation oscillations. A 1 1 MMO is shown in<br />
