We show that this saddle-node bifurcation is isolated, that is, its hyperbolicity is maintained before and after the saddle-node bifurcation. Moreover we construct a $C^2$-open set of arcs having the same property.18 pages, 4 figures, to apper Dynamics and Stability of SystemsDynamical Systems58F09; 58F14; 58F15The isolated saddle-node bifurcation occurring inside a horseshoetext
