Does MatCont Handles ODEs with complex variables?

    Hi Guys,
    I am working on a bifurcation problem involving ODES of complex variables. Of course, I can expand the problem into a real and complex part, but I was wandering whether MatCont handles complex variables?
    Cheers,
    Many

    My experiences so far tell me that one should avoid using complex variables, and simply split the ODE into real and imaginary parts. That is, in your intermediate computations you may certainly use complex parts, but in the end, all dXdt's should better be real.
