A singularly perturbed planar system of differential equations modeling an autocatalytic chemical reaction is studied. For certain parameter values a limit cycle exists. Geometric singular perturbation theory is used to prove the existence of this limit cycle. A central tool in the analysis is the blow-up method which allows the identification of a complicated singular cycle which is shown to persist.
Keywords: relaxation oscillations., slow manifolds, slow-fast system, geometric singular perturbation theory, blow-up.
