Installation

• Unzipping ddebiftool.zip creates a "dde_biftool" directory (named "dde_biftool") containing the subfolders:
  • ddebiftool (basic DDE-BIFTOOL routines),
  • demos (example scripts illustrating the use of DDE-BIFTOOL),
  • ddebiftool_extra_psol (extension for local bifurcations of periodic orbits),
  • ddebiftool_extra_nmfm (extension for normal form coefficient computations at local bifurcations of equilibria in DDEs with constant delay),
  • ddebiftool_utilities (auxiliary functions),
  • ddebiftool_extra_rotsym (extension for systems with rotational symmetry).
  • external_tools (support scripts, such as a Mathematica and a Maple script for generating derivative functions used in DDE-BIFTOOL).
• To test the tutorial demo "neuron" (the instructions below assume familiarity with Matlab or octave):
• Start Matlab (version 7.0 or higher) or octave (tested with version 3.8.1)
• Inside Matlab or octave change working directory to demos/neuron using the "cd" command
• Execute script "rundemo" to perform all steps of the tutorial demo
• Compare the outputs on screen and in figure windows with the published output in demos/neuron/html/demo1.html.
