continuation_test

continuation_test, a MATLAB code which calls continuation(), which implements the continuation method for a simple 2D problem, which involves finding a point on the unit circle, and then finding a sequence of nearby points which trace out the full curve, using only the information available in the implicit definition of the curve from the function f(x,y)=x^2+y^2-1.
