Cusp Catastrophe
CuspCatastrophe
A cusp catastrophe is a catastrophe which can occur for two control factors and one behavior axis. The cusp catastrophe is the universal unfolding of the singularity f(x)=x^4 and has the equation F(x,u,v)=x^4+ux^2+vx. The equation y=x^(2/3) also has a cusp catastrophe.
