A starter which sets necessary data to generate to generate an orbit from a regular point has the following parameters that can be modified via the starter window.
|
|
|
t |
a name of the time variable and its initial value. |
|
x |
a list of phase (state) variable names and their values at the initial point. |
|
p | a list of parameter names and their values. | |
Select Cycle button
|
by clicking this button, a window appears where you can enter the number of test intervals and a precision parameter to look for a closed orbit. If there is a closed orbit available, MatCont selects this orbit and changes the type of point and curve to LC (MatCont stores the orbit as a limit cycle). You can start a limitcycle continuation. If there is no closed orbit available you will get a message informing you of that. |
