Find and classify the critical point of the plane autonomous
Find and classify the critical point of the plane autonomous system x\' = 2 + x/y y\' = x/y - x
Solution
Conside autonomus system of DE
x\'=P(x,y)
y\'=Q(x,y)
this is called plane autonomus system
the constant solution X(t)=(x,y) for all t
P(x,y)=0 and Q(x,y)=0
then (x,Y) called critical point
given plane autonomus system is
x\'=2+x/y
y\'=x/y -x
for critical point
consider
2+x/y=0
and x/y -x=0
that is
2y+x=0-----------------(1)
and x-xy=0-------------------(2)
multipling (1) by y and add in (2) we get
2y2+x=0------------------(3)
now substract (1)from(3) we get
2y2-2y =0
2y(y-1)=0
that is y=0 or y-1=0
but y is never 0 because if y=0 than 2+x/y is not define
therfore y-1=0
that is y=1
put y=1 in (1) we get x=-2
therfore (x,y)=(-2,1)
is critical point for given plane autonomus system
