  abstract =   "We present a geometric explanation of a basic mechanism
               generating mixed-mode oscillations in a prototypical simple
               model of a chemical oscillator.  Our approach is based on
               geometric singular perturbation theory and canard solutions.
                We explain how the small oscillations are generated near a
               special point, which is classified as a folded saddle-node
               for the reduced problem.  The canard solution passing
               through this point separates small oscillations from large
               relaxation type oscillations.  This allows to define a
               one-dimensional return map in a natural way. This bimodal
               map is capable of explaining the observed bifurcation
               sequence convincingly.",
