Jacobian Matrix The solution is… where… are called the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the Jacobian matrix.
The eigenvalues are solutions of the “characteristic” equation: tr(J) det(J)

= 0 Numerical Bifurcation Theory Two equations in three unknowns. Fix p = po; solve for (xo, yo). Expand using Taylor’s Theorem:
This is perfectly generalizable to any number of variables. As long as With this equation, we can follow a steady state as p changes.
SN Variable, x SN Parameter, p A problem arises when which is exactly the case at a saddle-node bifurcation point. Fix: swap x and p.

Actually, AUTO does not try to solve det(J) = 0. That’s too hard. Instead, AUTO solves the following equations:
