ABSTRACT

We consider a parametrized family of NLSS with parameter space https://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> Θ https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780429112638/a69a2ff5-a02c-4831-8fae-bdc86f3c20b4/content/eq12863.tif" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/> .
