If is continuously differentiable ( ), then the Jacobian matrix ( ( ), ) varies continuously with , as do the eigenvalues and eigenvectors. f C D f p If the rest point at μ = 0 is hyperbolic (or a saddle, or a stable node,
- r an unstable node, or a stable spiral, or an unstable spiral), then the
rest point p(μ ) inherits the property for small values of μ . Poincaré Continuation
