This Demonstration finds all roots of this system in the domain using Seader's approach [1] and the arc length continuation technique.

The problem considered is described as follows: (the function was first proposed in [1]), , and (i.e., the auxiliary equation). Using the built-in Mathematica function WhenEvent all roots of the system are readily obtained when . A list of all roots is provided.
