2-45. Describe how to determine whether an equilibrium is stable or unstable when
(d²U/dx®), = 0.
2-46. Write the criteria for determining whether an equilibrium
when all derivatives up through order n, (d"U/dx"), = 0.
stable or unstable
As an illustration of why it matters which variables you hold fixed when taking partial derivatives, consider the following mathematical example. Let w = xy and x = yz.
Write w purely in terms of x and z, and then purely in terms of y and z.
A) According to the Hartman Grobman theorem, the local behavior of the linearized system (saddle, node, etc.) is the same as that for the original system as long as the equilibrium is? B) For a two-dimensional system, the only non-hyperbolic case is a?
