6.6 Examples<br />

The first example is a version of van der Pol’s equation [23, 24, 86] given by:<br />

x ′ = y− x 2 − x3<br />

3<br />

y ′ = ǫ(λ− x)<br />

We have to reverse <strong>time</strong> t→−t to satisfy the assumptions of Section (6.3). This<br />

gives:<br />

x ′ = x 2 + x3<br />

3<br />

− y<br />

y ′ = ǫ(x−λ) (6.23)<br />

The critical manifold is given by C0={y= x 2 + x 3 /3} <strong>with</strong> <strong>two</strong> fold points at (0, 0)<br />

<strong>and</strong> (−2, 4/3). The fold points split the critical manifold into three normally<br />

hyperbolic parts:<br />

Cl= C0∩{x
