The Case 2 heteroclinic-orbit conjecture for the wound-healing angiogenesis system

From papers

Let (uC1,wC1)(u_{C_1},w_{C_1}), (uC2,wC2)(u_{C_2},w_{C_2}), and (uW,wW)(u_W,w_W) be the equilibria of system

in the positive quadrant, with the system parameters in Case 2, $(\alpha,\beta,c)=(2/5,5/2,\sqrt{2}/2)$. **Case 2 heteroclinic-orbit conjecture.** Under parameter regime Case 2, system

possesses heteroclinic orbits connecting (uC2,wC2)(u_{C_2},w_{C_2}) to (uC1,wC1)(u_{C_1},w_{C_1}) and (uC1,wC1)(u_{C_1},w_{C_1}) to (uW,wW)(u_W,w_W). These connections are suggested by the phase plane but are not rigorously proved in the paper; the no-limit-cycles conjecture is used elsewhere to establish a different heteroclinic connection.
