Abstract
AbstractWe give two characterisations of when a map-germ admits a 1-parameter stable unfolding, one related to the $${\mathscr {K}}_e$$
K

-codimension and another related to the normal form of a versal unfolding. We then prove that there are infinitely many finitely determined map-germs of multiplicity 4 from $${\mathbb {K}}^3$$
K

to $${\mathbb {K}}^3$$
K

which do not admit a 1-parameter stable unfolding.
