“…We seek a branch (y(., e), 2(e)) of nontrivial solutions of (2.1) near (0, 0) in the form y(t, ~) = e ~b(t) + ~2 w(t, ~), 6) for IE] <%, w and r/ continuous in e, and w orthogonal to qS, that is (w, q~)=0. Note that e= (y, qS), so (2.6) says that the nullspace of (2.4) is "tangent" to the branch y(-, e) at e = 0.…”
