Numerische Mathematik Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

By employing a numerical method which uses only rather classical tools of Numerical Analysis such as Newton's method and routines for ordinary differential equations, unstable periodic solutions of differential-difference equations can be computed. The method is applied to determine bifurcation diagrams with backward bifurcation.
