Consider the system
Show that when the fixed point at the origin has a stationary bifurcation.
Find the centre subspace of the extended system linearised about .
Find an approximation to the centre manifold giving as a function of and , including terms up to quadratic order.
Hence deduce an expression for on the centre manifold, and identify the type of bifurcation at .
