Table 1 Values for the trace (Tr), the determinant (Det) and the discriminant (Δ) of the linearisation of system (13) at the fixed points \(\bar{\mathcal{S}}^{\pm }_{\mathrm{osc}}\) near the curves \(C^{\pm } _{\mathrm{HB}}\) (\(\bar{\alpha }^{\pm }= 0\)) and near to the uncoupled case (\(\bar{\alpha }^{\pm }\geq 0\) and ϵ small)

From: The uncoupling limit of identical Hopf bifurcations with an application to perceptual bistability
