Manifold computations
The model is 3-dimensional with Ca as parameter


Manifolds of interest are 2-dimensional
  • Use ManBVP, software by James England
    based on [Krauskopf & HO, CHAOS, 1999]

Adaptations:
  • BVP solver essential to deal with multiple timescales
  • Different range for variables -> weighted norm
