The numerical computation of symmetry-breaking Takens-Bogdanov points (Q1364892)

An iterational method for the computation of symmetry-breaking Takens-Bogdanov points in the \(\mathbb{Z}_2\)-symmetric two-parameter dependent bifurcational problem \(f(x, \lambda, \mu) =0\), \(f:X \times {\mathbb{R}}^2 \to X\) is suggested. This method converges linearly with an adjustable speed and its computational costs at each iteration step remain the same as that for the regular solution. The method computes simultaneously the point \((x_0, \lambda_0, \mu_0)\) and the null vectors of \(D_xf_0\) and \(D_xf_0^*\).
