Quadratic slow-fast systems on the plane (Q2025891)

In this paper, singularly perturbed quadratic polynomial differential systems of the form \[\varepsilon \dot x = P_{\varepsilon}(x, y) = P(x, y, \varepsilon),\quad \dot y = Q_{\varepsilon}(x, y) = Q(x, y, \varepsilon)\] with \(x, y \in {\mathbb R}\), \(\varepsilon \geq 0\) are considered. It is assumed that \((P_{\varepsilon}, Q_{\varepsilon}) = 1\) for \(\varepsilon > 0\). It is shown that there are 10 classes of equivalence for these systems. The dynamics of these 10 classes on the Poincare disc when \(\varepsilon = 0\) are described. For \(\varepsilon > 0\), the possible local behavior of the solutions near of a finite and infinite equilibrium point under suitable conditions is presented. More specifically, if \(p_0\) is a finite equilibrium point then the local behavior for \(\varepsilon > 0\) is obtained using Fenichel theory. If \(p_0\) is an infinite equilibrium point, then there exists \(\mathcal{K} \subset\mathcal{M}_0\) normally hyperbolic and \(p_0 \in\mathcal{M}_0^{'} \cap\mathcal{K}\), where \(\mathcal{M}_0\) is the critical manifold of the singular perturbation problem under consideration.
