Correctness of Results.

AUTO-computed solutions to ODEs are almost always structurally correct, because the mesh adaption strategy, if IAD$ >$0, 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.
