description

Given an analytic family of vector fields in Bbb R2 having a saddle point, we study the asymptotic development of the time function along the union of the two separatrices. We obtain a result (depending uniformly on the parameters) which we apply to investigate the bifurcation of critical periods of quadratic centres.
