The authors discuss numerical methods for analyzing the solution behavior of dynamical systems of order one depending on parameters, with emphasis on numerical continuation methods, as opposed to simulation methods. Main topics: algorithms for detecting codimension-1 bifurcations (folds, Hopf bifurcations), methods for locating branch points, branch switching techniques, methods for detection and continuation of codimension-2 bifurcations (cusp, Bogdanov-Takens, fold-Hopf, double-Hopf), efficiency of algorithms, numerical methods for the computation and continuation of homoclinic orbits, detection of higher codimension homoclinic bifurcations, normal forms for equations restricted to center manifolds at the critical parameter values, explicit formulas for coefficients in codimension-1 and -2 equilibrium bifurcations, starting continuation analysis, etc. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0982.37002].
