Age 15Explain it to a 15-year-oldConnect it to the formula
For the supercritical pitchfork normal form x-prime equals mu x minus beta x cubed, nonzero equilibrium magnitude is the square root of mu divided by beta. This page evaluates the relationship directly. The rule is c=√(a/b). Its input values are positive bifurcation parameter, positive cubic saturation coefficient, and the main result is nonzero equilibrium amplitude magnitude. For example: positive bifurcation parameter=0.18 and positive cubic saturation coefficient=0.5 produce nonzero equilibrium amplitude magnitude=0.6.
