Numerische Mathematik Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The numerical computation of branch points in systems of nonlinear equations is considered. A direct method is presented which requires the solution of one equation only. The branch points are indicated by suitable testfunctions. Numerical results of three examples are given.
