Abstract: We develop techniques for the verication of the Chebyshev property of Abelian integrals. These techniques are a combination of theoretical results, analysis of asymptotic behavior of Wronskians, and rigorous computations based on interval arithmetic. We apply this approach to tackle a conjecture formulated by Dumortier and Roussarie in [Birth of canard cycles, Discrete Contin. Dyn. Syst. 2 (2009), 723781], which we are able to prove for q <= 2.
