Synopsis

The concept of a transition system is extended to a parametrised family of differential equations

where x ∊ ℝn and λ ∊ Λ = [0, l]m, an m-cube. Furthermore, algebraic formulae for comparing connection matrices at the various parameter values are obtained. Finally, several applications of these techniques are indicated.
