On the "traveling pulses" of the limit of the FitzHugh-Nagumo equation when ɛ→0

A solution (u(s), v(s)) of the differential system u = v, v = -cv-u(u-a)(1-u) + w, w = -(ɛ/c)(u-γw) with a, c, ɛ ∈ R such that (u(s), v(s)) → (0,0) when s → ± ∞ is a traveling pulse of the FitzHugh-Nagumo equation. The limit of this differential system when ɛ → 0 gives rise to the polynomial differe...

Descripción
Sumario:A solution (u(s), v(s)) of the differential system u = v, v = -cv-u(u-a)(1-u) + w, w = -(ɛ/c)(u-γw) with a, c, ɛ ∈ R such that (u(s), v(s)) → (0,0) when s → ± ∞ is a traveling pulse of the FitzHugh-Nagumo equation. The limit of this differential system when ɛ → 0 gives rise to the polynomial differential system u = v, v = -cv-u(u-a)(1-u) + w, where now a, c,w ∈ R. We give the complete description of its phase portraits in the Poincaré disc (i.e. in the compactification of R adding the circle S of the infinity) modulo topological equivalence.
