Outside the cusp locus of bifurcations (blue), for each point (''a'',''b'') in parameter space there is only one extremising value of ''x''. Inside the cusp, there are two different values of ''x'' giving local minima of ''V''(''x'') for each (''a'',''b''), separated by a value of ''x'' giving a local maximum.|链接=Special:FilePath/Cusp_catastrophe.svg]] | Outside the cusp locus of bifurcations (blue), for each point (''a'',''b'') in parameter space there is only one extremising value of ''x''.
