Abstract
We establish conditions under which, in three-dimensional relaxation systems of the form {fx066-01}, where 0 < ε << 1, |μ| << 1, and ƒ, g ∈ C ∞, the so-called “blue-sky catastrophe” is observed, i.e., there appears a stable relaxation cycle whose period and length tend to infinity as μ tends to a certain critical value μ*(ε), μ*(0) 0 = 0.
