To underst<strong>and</strong> how the rescaling (6.17) affects the Lyapunov coefficient we<br />

consider the Hopf normal form case. We start <strong>with</strong> a planar vector field <strong>with</strong><br />

linear part in Jordan form (6.13). Assume that the equilibrium is at the origin<br />

(x, y)=0 <strong>and</strong> Hopf bifurcation occurs forλ=0. Applying the rescaling (6.17)<br />

we get:<br />

(6.19)<br />

In a <strong>fast</strong>-<strong>slow</strong> system <strong>with</strong> singular Hoof bifurcation we know that g ∗ (.,.)=ǫ(...)<br />

<strong>and</strong> thatω0= O( √ ǫ). Setting kω=ω0/ √ ǫ the Lyapunov coefficient can be com-<br />

puted to leading order by (6.14):<br />

ǫ+ O(ǫ) (6.20)<br />

Equation (6.20) explains the leading-order behavior more clearly <strong>and</strong> shows that<br />

due to the rescaling certain derivative terms in the Lyapunov coefficient for a<br />

singular Hopf bifurcation are non-leading terms <strong>with</strong> respect toǫ → 0. The<br />

point is that the rescaling modifies the order <strong>with</strong> respect toǫ of the linear <strong>and</strong><br />

nonlinear terms. Also, applying the chain rule to the nonlinear terms to calcu-<br />

late the necessary derivatives can affect which terms contribute.<br />

To make Proposition (6.5.1) more useful in an applied framework we have<br />

computed all the different versions of the Lyapunov coefficient defined in Sec-<br />

tion (6.4) up to leading order for equation (6.5) in original non-re<strong>scale</strong>d coordi-<br />
