We consider the dynamics of singularly perturbed differential equations near points where the critical manifold has a transcritical or a pitchfork singularity. Our main tool is the recently developed blow-up method, which allows a detailed geometric analysis of such problems. A version of the Melnikov method to study transversality properties in this and related problems is developed.
