The proof of the existence of a global connection in differential systems is generally a difficult task. Some authors use numerical techniques to show this existence, even in the case of continuous piecewise linear systems. In this paper we give an analytical proof of the existence of a reversible T-point heteroclinic cycle in a continuous...

We study saddle-node bifurcations of canard limit cycles in PWL systems by using singular perturbation theory tools. We distinguish two cases: the subcritical and the supercritical. In the subcritical case, we find saddle-node bifurcations of canard cycles both with head and without head. Moreover, we detect a transition between them. In the...

By applying a singular perturbation approach, canard explosions exhibited by a general family of singularly perturbed planar Piecewise Linear (PWL) differential systems are analyzed. The performed study involves both hyperbolic and non-hyperbolic canard limit cycles appearing after both, a supercritical and a subcritical Hopf bifurcation. The...

Presentamos en esta comunicación una técnica para probar de forma analítica la existencia de conexiones globales en sistemas dinámicos continuos lineales a trozos. Más concretamente, utilizamos esta técnica para demostrar la existencia de dos conexiones homoclinas directas (aquellas que cortan al plano de separación exactamente dos veces) y un...

Numerical methods are often used to put in evidence the existence of global connections in differential systems. The principal reason is that the corresponding analytical proofs are usually very complicated. In this work we give an analytical proof of the existence of a pair of homoclinic connections in a continuous piecewise linear system,...

Canard-induced phenomena have been extensively studied in the last three decades, from both the mathematical and the application viewpoints. Canards in slow-fast systems with (at least) two slow variables, especially near folded-node singularities, give an essential generating mechanism for mixed-mode oscillations (MMOs) in the framework of...
