Chapter 7.3, Problem 4E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To show that the origin of a given system is an unstable fixed point.

To show that all trajectories approach to the ellipse by considering the potential function

V= (1- 4x2y2)2.

Concept Introduction:

Fixed point of a differential equation is a point where, f(x*) = 0 ; while substitution f(x*) = x˙ is used and x&*#x00A0;is a fixed point

Potential function is a single valued scalar function, the negative gradient of which gives the required function of a system.

Fixed points can be stable or unstable. Phase trajectories go away fromunstable fixed points, while they come towards the stable fixed points.

Limit cycle is the stable trajectory of a system towards which all trajectories eventually come as t.
