At a non-axis fixed point the determinant and trace areThese formulas determine the solid stable and dashed unstable branches in the bifurcation diagram. The pair is born in a saddle-node bifurcation at . For , it exchanges branches with at and with at , both transcritical bifurcations. If , the saddle-node lies to the left of ; if , it lies to the right. For , the saddle-node and the collision at combine into a pitchfork bifurcation at .
