Tips for finding equilibria of high-dimensional nonlinear dynamical systems

58 Views Asked by At

In order to perform stability analysis, I seek to find fixed points in a couple of relatively high-dimension (10-30 state variables) nonlinear dynamical systems composed of ordinary time-derivatives. For the curious these are computational models of neurons.

Whilst i was able to find such points for my lowest dimension model (Dim=10), I'm struggling to do so for any other model.

Would welcome any tips regarding techniques to facilitate search or tools I could use to symbolically or numerically solve the more complex models. At the moment I'm using matlab's symbolic math toolbox.

Thanks
