AUTO is a software for continuation and bifurcation problems in ordinary differential equations. AUTO can do a limited bifurcation analysis of algebraic systems of the form
f(u,p) = 0, f,u in Rn
and of systems of ordinary differential equations of the form
u'(t) = f(u(t),p), f,u in Rn
subject to initial conditions, boundary conditions, and integral constraints. Here p denotes one or more parameters. AUTO can also do certain continuation and evolution computations for parabolic PDEs. It also includes the software HOMCONT for the bifurcation analysis of homoclinic orbits.
