The matrix in Exercise 9.3.36 is an example. According to Theorem. in Section 9., a fundamental set of solutions for the system y = Ay is given by y (t = e λt v and y (t = e λt [v + tv ], where v is a nonzero eigenvector, and v satisfies (A λiv = v. The general solution can be written as y(t = e λt [(C + C tv + C v ],
9.3.37. Assume that the eigenvalue λ is negative. (a Describe the exponential solutions. Answer: There is one exponential solution, e λt v. Because λ<, this solution decays to the equilibrium point at the origin along the half line generated by Cv. (b Describe the behavior of the general solution as t. Answer: The general solution is (c (d y(t = e λt [(C + C tv + C v ]. Because λ<, the terms e λt (C + C tv and C e λt v both decay to zero. However, the first term is larger for large values of t. Thus, as t, y(t e λt (C +C tv te λt C v, which implies that the solution approaches zero tangent to the half-line generated by C v. Describe the behavior of the general solution as t. Answer: Because λ<, the terms e λt (C + C tv and C e λt v get infinitely large in magnitude as t. However, the first term is larger in magnitude for negative values of t that are large in magnitude. Thus, as t, y(t e λt (C +C tv te λt C v,. Since t<ast, this implies that the solution eventually parallels the half-line generated by C v. Is the equilibrium point at the origin a degenerate nodal sink or source? Answer: Degenerate nodal sink. 9.3.38. Redo Exercise 9.3.37 under the assumption that the eigenvalue λ is positive. Answer: In general everything moves in the opposite direction in comparison to the situation in Exercise 9.3.37. As t the exponential solution tends to along the half-line generated by C v. As t the general solution tends to and becomes parallel to the half-line generated by C v. As t the general solution tends to tangent to the half-line generated by C v. The origin is a degenerate nodal source. 9.3.39. Where do linear degenerate sources and sinks fit on the trace-determinant plane? Answer: Because the linear degenerate nodal sources and sinks have only one eigenvalue, and because the eigenvalues are given by λ,λ = T ± T D, we must have T D =. Therefore, the degenerate nodal sources and sinks lie on the parabola T D = in the trace-determinant plane. This positioning on the boundary between the nodal sink and sources and the spiral sinks and sources is significant. The solutions attempt to spiral, but they cannot. The presence of the half-line solutions prevents them from spiralling (solutions cannot cross.
