<strong>fast</strong>-<strong>slow</strong> system <strong>and</strong> yields:<br />

˙x=(Dx f ) −1 (Dy f )g<br />

where all mappings are evaluated for (x, c(x),λ, 0) <strong>and</strong> c : R m → R n parametrizes<br />

C. To relate the <strong>dynamics</strong> of the <strong>slow</strong> flow to the <strong>dynamics</strong> of the full system for<br />

ǫ> 0 the next theorem is of fundamental importance.<br />

Theorem 1.1.1 (Fenichel’s Theorem, Part 1). Assume that f, g are sufficiently<br />

smooth. Suppose S = S 0 is a compact normally hyperbolic submanifold of the criti-<br />

cal manifold C. Then forǫ> 0 sufficiently small the following holds:<br />

(F1) There exists a locally invariant manifold Sǫ diffeomorphic to S 0. Local invariance<br />

means that Sǫ can have boundaries through which trajectories enter or leave.<br />

(F2) Sǫ has a distance O(ǫ) from S 0.<br />

(F3) The flow on Sǫ converges to the <strong>slow</strong> flow asǫ→ 0.<br />

(F4) Given r ∈ N∪{0} there existsǫ0 > 0 such that that Sǫ is C r -smooth for all<br />

ǫ∈ (0,ǫ0].<br />

(F5) Sǫ is normally hyperbolic <strong>and</strong> has the same stability properties <strong>with</strong> respect to the<br />

<strong>fast</strong> <strong>variables</strong> as S 0 (attracting, repelling or saddle-type).<br />

(F6) For fixedǫ> 0, Sǫ is usually not unique but all manifolds satisfying (F1)-(F5) lie<br />

at a Hausdorff distance O(e −K/ǫ ) from each other for some K> 0, K= O(1).<br />

We call a manifold Sǫ a <strong>slow</strong> manifold. Note that all asymptotic notation refers toǫ→ 0.<br />

Remark: We will often apply the convention that objects in the singular limit<br />

have sub- or superscript 0 whereas the associated perturbed objects have sub-<br />
