    Abstract

    We study the continuous, desingularized Newton method for Weierstrass' ℘-functions. This leads to a family of autonomous differential equations in the plane, which depends on two complex parameters ω 1 and ω 2. For the associated flows there are, up to conjugacy, precisely three possibilities. These are determined by the form of the parallelogram spanned by ω 1 and ω 2: square, rectangular but not square, and non-rectangular.
