Correctness of Results.
AUTO-computed solutions to ODEs are almost always structurally correct,
because the mesh adaption strategy, if IAD0, safeguards to some extent
against spurious solutions.
If these do occur, possibly near infinite-period orbits,
the unusual appearance of the solution family typically serves as a warning.
Repeating the computation with increased NTST is then recommended.
