Abstract:

A numerical tool for the detection of degenerated symmetry breaking bifurcation points is presented. The degeneracies are classified and numerically processed on $1$-D restrictions of the bifurcation equation. The test functions that characterise each of the equivalence classes are constructed by means of an equivariant numerical version of the Liapunov-Schmidt reduction. The classification supplies limited qualitative information concerning the imperfect bifurcation diagrams of the detected bifurcation points.
