Abstract:
In this contribution, a tool is presented that allows the continuation of singularities of higher codimension for complex chemical process models. The tool is an extension of the process-modelling tool ProMoT. It allows creating augmented systems for simple zero eigenvalue bifurcation points. Parameter continuation of such points allows to produce different varieties for hysteresis, isolas, pitchforks or winged cusps singularities. Required higher order directional derivatives are obtained analytically via an interface to the computer algebra system Maxima.
