Systems in the Plane
Why do we care about looking at systems in the plane? Well - we want to know about equilibrium points and how the system behaves around them.
Recall that equilibrium points are fixed. P = Q = 0
Some Loose definitions
| Name | Definition |
|---|---|
| Periodic | A trajectory loops upon itself |
| Stable | Trajectories converge to a point |
| Unstable | Trajectories diverge from a point |
| Linear Center | An equilibrium point that has orbits around it |
| Limit Cycle | Happens a lot with nonlinear systems. Trajectories are pulled some target trajectory and stay there. |
