Synopsis

A generic bifurcation theory is developed which is somewhat different from the approach in [4]. We put special emphasis on equations satisfying additional symmetry properties and on the non-generic bifurcation sets arising in this context. We apply our results on the von Kármán equations for the buckling of a rectangular plate under a compressive thrust and a normal load.
