The authors consider a class of singularly perturbed tridimensional systems, namely those having a folded two-dimensional critical manifold. Moreover, it is assumed that the reduced system possesses a folded node singularity.The paper presents some results concerning the presence of periodic orbits with one large and several small oscillations, due to the presence of canard solutions. The results are corroborated numerically in a particular case corresponding to a van der Pol-like model.Finally, the results are extended to systems with arbitrarily many fast dimensions, again assuming that the singularly perturbed system has a folded two-dimensional critical manifold.For the entire collection see [Zbl 1099.34004].
