Lecture 10 - Thu 2020 10 01 - Virtual % ============================================================================== Finish linear phase plane. \dot{X} = A X; A = 2x2 matrix. % Re-draw Delta-tau diagram for eigenvalues lambda = tau/2 + (tau^2/4-Delta)^0.5 Note that going across the dividing lines between saddles, nodes, and spirals are bifurcations. But some are not stable to nonlinear perturbations. Attracting and repelling critical points. Point out "degeneracy" when linear theory fails for \Delta = 0. ## Meta-theorem. When is linear picture not structurally stable. Do pictures. ## ## Done prior lecture STABILITY JARGON: Lyapunov stable; Attracting; AND Asymptotically stable. Example of attracting but not Lyapunov stable. Do "EXAMPLES" and beyond in Lecture 9. % % ============================================================================== EOF
