Fixed points.

The simplest case is the continuation of a solution family to the system $ f( u , p ) = 0$, where $ f(\cdot,\cdot), u \in {\rm R}^n$, cf. Equation (2.1). Such a system arises in the continuation of ODE stationary solutions and in the continuation of fixed points of discrete dynamical systems. There is only one free parameter here, so NICP=1.

As a concrete example, consider Run 1 of demo ab, where NICP=1, with ICP(1)=1. Thus, in this run PAR(1) is designated as the free parameter.
