Critical Point at (c/, a/): Ellipses
(4 of 7)
Near the critical point (c/, a/), we thus have
dv
 2a u
 2
  2 a u du   2c v dv  0
du
 cv
The solution to this separable equation is
 2 a u 2   2c v 2  k , k  0
Thus the trajectories of the linear system are ellipses centered
at the critical point (c/, a/).
Returning to the nonlinear system
dx / dt  xa   y , dy / dt  y c   x
we have
dy y  c   x 

