  2. Stability theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stability_theory

    The stability of fixed points of a system of constant coefficient linear differential equations of first order can be analyzed using the eigenvalues of the corresponding matrix. An autonomous system ′ =, where x(t) ∈ R n and A is an n×n matrix with real entries, has a constant solution =

  3. Structural stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_stability

    In mathematics, structural stability is a fundamental property of a dynamical system which means that the qualitative behavior of the trajectories is unaffected by small perturbations (to be exact C 1-small perturbations). Examples of such qualitative properties are numbers of fixed points and periodic orbits (but not their periods

  4. Stable manifold theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stable_manifold_theorem

    Let : be a smooth map with hyperbolic fixed point at .We denote by () the stable set and by () the unstable set of .. The theorem [2] [3] [4] states that is a smooth manifold and its tangent space has the same dimension as the stable space of the linearization of at .

  5. Fixed point (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed_point_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, a fixed point (sometimes shortened to fixpoint), also known as an invariant point, is a value that does not change under a given transformation. Specifically, for functions, a fixed point is an element that is mapped to itself by the function. Any set of fixed points of a transformation is also an invariant set.

  6. 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

  7. Dynamical system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamical_system

    Bifurcation theory considers a structure in phase space (typically a fixed point, a periodic orbit, or an invariant torus) and studies its behavior as a function of the parameter μ. At the bifurcation point the structure may change its stability, split into new structures, or merge with other structures.

  8. Hilbert–Mumford criterion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert–Mumford_criterion

    The standard example is the action of C * on the plane C 2 defined as (,) = (,).The weight in the x-direction is 1 and the weight in the y-direction is -1.Thus by the Hilbert–Mumford criterion, a non-zero point on the x-axis admits 1 as its only weight, and a non-zero point on the y-axis admits -1 as its only weight, so they are both unstable; a general point in the plane admits both 1 and ...

  9. Orbit (dynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbit_(dynamics)

    One can see spiral from attracting fixed point to repelling fixed point ( z= 0) which is a place with high density of level curves. The orbit of an equilibrium point is a constant orbit. Stability of orbits
