Continuation of Periodic Solutions of Dissipative and Conservative Systems: Application to Elastic Pendulum

Continuation is an efficient algorithm for finding solutions of systems of nonlinear algebraic equations where the solutions form a one-dimensional continuum. Such systems arise naturally when investigating equilibrium points and periodic solutions of ordinary differential equations with one paramet...
