The desingularised reduced problem. The desingularized reduced problem, (15), near the lower fold is projected onto (v,s)-space. Here, τs=15, although the basic structure shown here is common to all values of τs analyzed. The lower fold curve, F (gray dashed), is indicated. The folded saddle, pfs (purple), lies on the fold curve and gives rise to two invariant manifolds: a stable invariant manifold, Ws(pfs) (red), and an unstable invariant manifold, Wu(pfs) (blue). The dynamics in (v,s)-space above F are reversed, and so the stable and unstable manifolds have reversed stability properties above F. Arrows indicate motion along the invariant manifolds. Each manifold terminates at a stable node equilibrium, within the reduced flow. The stable manifold terminates at eq2 on Sa (orange) and the unstable manifold terminates at eq3 on Sr (green). Note, if a singular trajectory lands onto the shaded region of S0, it eventually undergoes a rebound spike. Inset: A magnification of the desingularized reduced problem near the folded saddle
