Article page lacks style

[edit]

This article has quite a good amount of information, but it is not visually pleasing. I'm pretty sure it's due to the fact that the math is not in LaTeX. Tufts (talk) 17:55, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I converted most of the math into LaTeX, although I may have missed one or two things (it's late), however this article still needs help with the pictures, references and overall construction. I also removed sections with no content and made other grammatical corrections. This article now desperately needs an expert on the subject to check notation, pictures, references, and content in general. I'll check to see if it's in that category later on.

Applications

[edit]

The first sentence, "Numerical continuation techniques have found a great degree of acceptance in the study of chaotic dynamical systems and various other systems which belong to the realm of catastrophe theory.", sounds odd, and may be misleading. Numerical continuation technqiues have found wide use in dynamical systems theory, and in applications thereof in engineering and science, full stop. Whether chaotic dynamics or "realm of catastrophe theory" finds applications, is either irrelevant or a rather narrow scope for applications. Furthermore, the reason why numerical continuation has become a popular technique is found in the fact that most numerical systems just cannot be solved for stationary (or other parameterized) solutions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.38.140.57 (talk) 13:51, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
