I'm learning the AUTO software that does numerical continuation of ODE's by following these two references:
- The official manual found here www.dam.brown.edu/.../auto07p.pdf
- Lecture notes found at indy.cs.concordia.ca/auto/notes.pdf
The examples are understandable, but going from there to defining your own problem presents a very steep learning curve.
So I'm looking for other good references, or perhaps even an online forum for people using this software. Any suggestions?
Cheers!
I'm learning AUTO-07p too, in my experience the best way to define your own problems is editing some demo according to your problem. I actually don't know more references that the official manual, that's one big problem with AUTO, there is not so much documentation. The software XPPAUT http://www.math.pitt.edu/~bard/xpp/xpp.html is another way to run AUTO in a more simple way, maybe you should try it.
