A catastrophe theoretic model of heat regulation in homeothermic animals
The paper deals with the mechanism of human temperature regulation. The aim of this paper is to show that temperature regulations can be described by a butterfly catastrophe model involving three cusps, two of which disappear by way of a swallowtail when the ''set point'' of the central body temperature approaches the lower or upper limit beyond which survival is not possible.
