We consider families of differentiable diffeomorphisms with hyperbolic points, close to the identity, which tend to it when the parameter goes to zero.
We study the asymptotic behaviour of the invariant manifolds. Then we consider the case when there are homo-heteroclinic points and we find that the maximum separation between the invariant manifolds is of the order of some power of the parameter which is related to the degree of differentiability.
Finally the analogous case for flows is considered.
