  2. Equilibrium point (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Equilibrium_point_(mathematics)

    Some sink, source or node are equilibrium points. In mathematics , specifically in differential equations , an equilibrium point is a constant solution to a differential equation. Formal definition

  3. Hartman–Grobman theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hartman–Grobman_theorem

    The theorem states that the behaviour of a dynamical system in a domain near a hyperbolic equilibrium point is qualitatively the same as the behaviour of its linearization near this equilibrium point, where hyperbolicity means that no eigenvalue of the linearization has real part equal to zero. Therefore, when dealing with such dynamical ...

  4. Stability theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stability_theory

    The simplest kind of an orbit is a fixed point, or an equilibrium. If a mechanical system is in a stable equilibrium state then a small push will result in a localized motion, for example, small oscillations as in the case of a pendulum. In a system with damping, a stable equilibrium state is moreover asymptotically stable. On the other hand ...

  5. Autonomous system (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Autonomous_system_(mathematics)

    Some sink, source or node are equilibrium points. 2-dimensional case refers to Phase plane. In mathematics, an autonomous system or autonomous differential equation is a system of ordinary differential equations which does not explicitly depend on the independent variable. When the variable is time, they are also called time-invariant systems.

  6. Heteroclinic orbit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heteroclinic_orbit

    In mathematics, in the phase portrait of a dynamical system, a heteroclinic orbit (sometimes called a heteroclinic connection) is a path in phase space which joins two different equilibrium points. If the equilibrium points at the start and end of the orbit are the same, the orbit is a homoclinic orbit.

  7. Center manifold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_manifold

    Randomly selected points of the 2D phase space converge exponentially to a 1D center manifold on which dynamics are slow (non exponential). Studying dynamics of the center manifold determines the stability of the non-hyperbolic fixed point at the origin. The center manifold of a dynamical system is based upon an equilibrium point of that

  8. Saddle-node bifurcation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saddle-node_bifurcation

    At = (the bifurcation point) there is exactly one equilibrium point. At this point the fixed point is no longer hyperbolic. In this case the fixed point is called a saddle-node fixed point. If > there are no equilibrium points. [2] Saddle node bifurcation. In fact, this is a normal form of a saddle-node bifurcation.
