Abstract

We discuss stable numerical methods for the approximation of the solutions of a nonlinear parameter - dependent equation near a non-trivial bifurcation point. The problem of finding the bifurcation point is reformulated as a well-posed equation of higher dimension. The nearby branches can be calculated in a stable manner after applying a certain transformation having its origin in the Lyapunov — Schmidt theory. We also treat the perturbed bifurcation problem and present numerical results.
