Fig. 1From: Saddle Slow Manifolds and Canard Orbits in \(\mathbb{R}^{4}\) and Application to the Full Hodgkin–Huxley ModelCritical manifold of (11) with the phase portrait of the reduced system (14) with \(\mu =9.2\), projected onto the (\(x,y,z\))-space. The lower sheet \(S^{a}\) of the critical manifold (gray) is attracting and the upper sheet \(S^{s}\) is of saddle type. The fold curve F (gray line) separates the two sheets. The black dot at the origin is the folded node, and the magenta curve \(\xi _{s}\) is the strong singular canardBack to article page
