The results are based on the Poincaré method of sections and on the `slow manifolds' of the theory of singular perturbations, as established by the pioneering works of Andronov, Mandelshtam, Tikhonov, and more specifically for the present topic of Mishkis. The exposition is needlessly obscure because the author fails to use the properties of the static equilibrium solutions \(u(t)\equiv 0\) and \(u(t)\equiv c_m\), the \(c_m\) being real roots of the algebraic systems \(B(u)= -A\) and \(\lambda Bf(u)= -A\), respectively. Moreover, no distinction is made between the qualitatively different cases: all elements of \(f(u)\) are odd, even, and both odd and even functions. The scope of the results is further limited by the fact that the asymptotic equation \(u'=\lambda Au\) does not contain any delay. It is well-known that the ``products of \(\lambda\), \(A\) and \(T\) determine the qualitative properties of the solutions. The references are secondary, and several (especially those of Shilnilov and Kilias et al.) are irrelevant.
