Gevrey normal forms for nilpotent contact points of order two (Q379745)

The object of the study of this paper is a planar slow-fast system \[ \begin{aligned} \dot x&=y-f(x,\epsilon), \\ \dot y&=\epsilon h(x,y,\epsilon) \end{aligned} \] in the situation when loss of normal hyperbolicity occurs, namely, \(f(0,0)=\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}(0,0)=0\) (\(\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x^2}(0,0)\neq0\)). Using the Gevrey formal power series it is shown that for \(\epsilon\geq0\) there exists a local analytic change of coordinates which transforms the original problem into the generalized Lienard system of the form \[ \begin{aligned} \dot x=y&-x^2, \\ \dot y=\epsilon[g(x,\epsilon)&+R(x,y,\epsilon)] \end{aligned} \] with an analytic function \(g\) and exponentially small remainder \(R,\) \(| R(x,y,\epsilon)|\leq Ce^{-\frac{\rho}{\epsilon}}\) for some positive constants \(C\) and \(\rho.\)
