Singular Hopf bifurcation occurs in generic families of vector-fields with two slow variables and one fast variable. Normal forms for this bifurcation depend upon several parameters, and the dynamics displayed by the normal forms is intricate. This paper analyzes a normal form for this bifurcation. It presents extensive diagrams of bifurcations of equilibrium points and periodic orbits that are close to singular Hopf bifurcation. In addition, parameters are determined where there is a tangency between invariant manifolds that are important in the appearance of mixed-mode oscillations in systems near singular Hopf bifurcation. One parameter of the normal form is identified as the primary bifurcation parameter, and the paper presents a catalog of bifurcation sequences that occur as the primary bifurcation parameter is varied. These results are applied to estimate the parameters for the onset of mixed-mode oscillations in a model of chemical oscillations.
