Abstract
A method to trace the bifurcation equilibrium paths from a critical point utilizing Newton-Raphson method is presented. The initial guess solution on the bifurcation paths are obtained by solving the incremental equations at the critical point, in which the higher order terms of Taylor series expansion are considered.
