Multi-layer canard cycles and translated power functions

2008

Abstract The paper deals with two-dimensional slow-fast systems and more specifically with multi-layer canard cycles. These are canard cycles passing through n layers of fast orbits, with n ⩾ 2 . The canard cycles are subject to n generic breaking mechanisms and we study the limit cycles that can be perturbed from the generic canard cycles of codimension n . We prove that this study can be reduced to the investigation of the fixed points of iterated translated power functions.
