The tutorials are rated by the following scale of difficulty

1. 🟢 basic knowledge of (numerical) bifurcation theory (following equilibria / periodic orbits)
2. 🟡 advanced knowledge of (numerical) bifurcation theory (codim 2 bifurcations of equilibria)
3. 🟠 high level of knowledge of (numerical) bifurcation theory (codim 2 bifurcations of periodic orbits, tweaking the methods)
4. 🟤 very advanced tutorial, research level

There are three levels of automatization of the computation in these tutorials:

1. fully automatic bifurcation diagram (aBD) computation (only for equilibria): one uses bifurcationdiagram and let it compute the diagram fully automatically. Another possibility is to use deflated continuation.
2. semi-automatic bifurcation diagram computation: one uses automatic branch switching (aBS) to compute branches at specified bifurcation points
3. manual bifurcation diagram computation: one does not use automatic branch switching. This has only educational purposes or for complex problems where aBS fails.

ODE examples

These examples are specific to ODEs.

Computation of equilibria

• 🟢 Neural mass equation
• 🟢 Temperature model
• 🟢 pp2 example from AUTO07p (aBD + Hopf aBS)

Codimension 2 bifurcations of equilibria

• 🟡 CO oxidation (codim 2)

Periodic orbits

We provide some examples focused on the computation of periodic orbits. Here is one where we present the different ways to compute periodic orbits.

• 🟡 Neural mass equation (Hopf aBS)

Here is one for aBS from period-doubling bifurcations of periodic orbits

• 🟡 Period doubling in Lur'e problem (PD aBS)

In the next tutorial, we show how to refine a periodic orbit guess obtained from numerical simulation. We also show how to perform continuation of PD/NS points using Shooting or Collocation.

• 🟠 Periodic predator-prey model

In the next tutorial, we showcase the detection of Chenciner bifurcations. This is a relatively advanced tutorial, so we don't give much explanations. The reader should get first familiar with the above simpler examples.

In the next tutorial, we showcase aBS from Bautin/HH to curve of Fold/NS of periodic orbits.
