Subject: MATLAB Package for Bifurcation Analysis of DDEs
Dear NA-reader,
We would like to announce the availability of DDE-BIFTOOL v. 2.00.
DDE-BIFTOOL is a Matlab package for the bifurcation analysis of
delay differential equations. It supports continuation and stability
analysis of steady states and periodic orbits.
The second version now also supports the computation of connecting
orbits (both homoclinic and heteroclinic solutions) and the analysis
of state-dependent delay equations, where the delay is a function of
the state.
More information about how to obtain the package, and an extended
manual, can be found on
http://www.cs.kuleuven.ac.be/~koen/delay/ddebiftool.shtml
With kind regards,
Koen Engelborghs, Tatyana Luzyanina, Giovanni Samaey
