Resumen de Box Dimension and Cyclicity of Canard Cycles

Renato Huzak

• It is well known that the slow divergence integral is a useful tool for obtaining a bound on the cyclicity of canard cycles in planar slow–fast systems. In this paper a new approach is introduced to determine upper bounds on the number of relaxation oscillations Hausdorff-close to a balanced canard cycle in planar slow–fast systems, by computing the box dimension of one orbit of a discrete one-dimensional dynamical system (so-called slow relation function) assigned to the canard cycle.
