Abstract
We consider generic families of smooth dynamical systems depending on parameters where is a 2-dimensional simply connected domain and assume that each only has a finite number of restpoints and periodic orbits. We prove that if over the boundary of there is a S or Z shaped bifurcation graph containing two opposing fold bifurcation points while over the rest of the boundary there are no other bifurcation points, then, if there is no fold-Hopf bifurcation in then there is at least one cusp in the interior of .
