Sandstede's Model.

Consider the system [#!Sa:95b!#]

\begin{displaymath}\begin{array}{rcl} \dot{x} & = & a \, x + b \, y - a \, x^2 +...
...\, y + \alpha \, \beta \, (x^2 \, (1-x) - y^2) \par \end{array}\end{displaymath} (21.1)

as given in the file san.f. Choosing the constants appearing in (21.1) appropriately allows for computing inclination and orbit flips as well as non-orientable resonant bifurcations, see [#!Sa:95b!#] for details and proofs. The starting point for all calculations is $ a=0$, $ b=1$ where there exists an explicit solution given by

$\displaystyle (x(t),y(t),z(t)) =
\left( 1 - \left(\frac{1-e^t}{1+e^t}\right)^2 , 4 \, e^t \,
\frac{1-e^t}{(1+e^t)^3} , 0 \right).
$

This solution is specified in the routine STPNT.
