Canard cycles : from birth to transition / Peter De Maesschalck, Freddy Dumortier, Robert Roussarie.

This book offers the first systematic account of canard cycles, an intriguing phenomenon in the study of ordinary differential equations. The canard cycles are treated in the general context of slow-fast families of two-dimensional vector fields. The central question of controlling the limit cycles...
