Abstract
Various quite satisfactory analytical and numerical techniques are available for analysing bifurcation points when something about the structure is known á priori. The author previously introduced a method applicable when such information is not present, or when the arcs intersect tangentially. That method is discussed here, with particular emphasis on avenues to improvement in efficiency and reliability.
