Concept Introduction:
Supercritical pitchfork bifurcation occurs when the single fixed points are present it is stable, and after parameters change, this fixed point becomes unstable, and two new symmetric fixed points which appear are stable.
Subcritical pitchfork bifurcation occurs when there is a single fixed point present which is unstable, and after parameters change, this fixed point becomes stable and two new symmetric fixed points which appear become unstable.
Pitchfork bifurcation is the bifurcation in which, when parameters are varied then the fixed points tend to appear and disappear in symmetrical pairs.

- A net is dipped in a river. Determine the flow rate of water across the net if the velocity vector field for the river is given by v = (x-y, z + y + 3, z²) and the net is decribed by the equation y = √1-x²-2², y ≥ 0, and oriented in the positive y- direction.
