Abstract

We construct an algorithm for approximating the invariant tori created at a Neimark Sacker bifurcation point. It is based on the same philosophy as many algorithms for approximating the periodic orbits created at a Hopf bifurcation point, i.e., a Fourier spectral method. For Neimark Sacker bifurcation, however, we use a simple parametrisation of the tori in order to determine low-order approximations, and then utilise the information contained therein to develop a more general parametrisation suitable for computing higher-order approximations. Different algorithms, applicable to either autonomous or periodically-forced systems of differential equations, are obtained.
