## Branch Point Continuation

Although the predecessor CONTENT [26] of MATCONT included the continuation of codimension 2 bifurcations of equilibria in three free parameters, this is so far not included in MATCONT. Though the initialization and continuation itself would not be too difficult, the computation and interpretation of the normal form coefficients of the codim3 bifurcations would be unfeasible. Nevertheless, MATCONT includes the continuation of branch points of equilibria and limit cycles in three parameters since this appears to be useful in some studies of models with equivariance.
