Existence of a cusp point on a fold bifurcation curve and stability of the associated fixed point.: Case of an n-dimensional map

Considering an n-dimensional map T, a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a cusp point on a fold bifurcation curve in a parameter plane of T is proposed. In the case of a nondegenerated cusp point, a necessary and sufficient condition for the stability of the associated nonhyperbolic fixed point is established. These conditions, obtained using the classical methods (center manifold, normal form), are expressed in an explicit algebraic well adapted for numerical computing.
