[R-sig-dyn-mod] Find initial values that produce stability

[Daniel Kaschek]

What do you mean by "stable"? Are you looking for a steady state?

Let's say you have

dx/dt = f(x)

then you may find x_s such that f(x_s) = 0 and, hence, 

x(t) = x_s = const.

is a solution of your ODE. You can find such an x_s by means of the
multiroot() function from the rootSolve package.

Cheers,
Daniel
