| contents | Periodic orbits of systems of ordinary differential equations can be found and continued numerically by following fixed points of Poincaré maps. However, this often fails near grazing bifurcations where a periodic orbit collides tangentially with a boundary of phase space. Failure occurs when the map contains a square-root singularity and the root-finding algorithm searches beyond the domain of viable values. We show that by instead following the zeros of a function that maps Velocity Into Variation In Displacement (VIVID) this issue is circumvented and there is no such failure. We illustrate this with a prototypical one-degree-of-freedom impact oscillator model by applying Newton's method to the VIVID function to follow periodic orbits collapsing into grazing bifurcations. We also follow curves of saddle-node and period-doubling bifurcations of periodic orbits that issue from a codimension-two resonant grazing bifurcation. The VIVID function provides a simple alternative to the more sophisticated collocation method and enables periodic orbits and their bifurcations to be resolved easily and accurately near grazing bifurcations. |
