| Summary: | In a previous paper we have proposed a new method for proving the existence of "canard solutions" for three and four-dimensional singularly perturbed systems with only one fast variable. The aim of this work is to extend this method to the case of four-dimensional singularly perturbed systems with two slow and two fast variables. This method enables to state a unique generic condition for the existence of "canard solutions" for such four-dimensional singularly perturbed systems which is based on the stability of folded singularities (pseudo singular points in this case) of the normalized slow dynamics deduced from a well-known property of linear algebra. This unique generic condition is perfectly identical to that provided in previous works. Applications of this method to the famous coupled FitzHugh-Nagumo equations and to the Hodgkin-Huxley model enables to show the existence of "canard solutions" in such systems. |
