Numerical computation of symmetry-breaking bifurcation points
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 February 2009
Abstract
We consider symmetry-breaking bifurcation points which arise in parameter-dependent nonlinear equations of the form f(x, λ) = 0. These types of bifurcation points are connected to pitchfork bifurcation points. A direct method is used to compute such points. Multiple shooting is used to discretise the two-point boundary-value problems to obtain a finite-dimensional problem.
