Solutions
Note that if n

reduces to
Recall that x
= 0 is the only equilibrium
solution if a
0.
Further, x
= 0 is an asym
ptotically stable solution if a<
0, since other solutions approach x
= 0 in this case.
Also, x
= 0 is an unstable solution if a
> 0, since other
solutions depart from x
= 0 in this case.
For n
> 1, equilibrium
solutions are similarly found by
solving Ax
= 0. W
e assume detA
0, so that x
= 0
is the only solution. D
etermining w
hether x=

ptotically stable or unstable is an im
portant question here as well.

When n

reduces to
This case can be visualized in the x
1 x2 -plane, w
hich is called the p
hase p
lane.
In the phase plane, a direction field can be obtained by evaluating A
xat m
any points and plotting the resulting vectors, w
hich will be tangent to solution vectors.
A plot that show
s representative solution trajectories is called a p
hase portrait.

Substituting x

Thus to solve the hom

Therefore x
