In particular, we show the existence of a turning point path and a pitchfork point path passing ihrough the double fold point and they are the only singular points nearby. Their nondegeneracy is confirmed. A supporting numerical example is also provided. The main tools for our analysis as well as the compulation are some extended systems.展开更多
