## Coordinated Math 216 website

This first place to look for any information is RIGHT HERE, consider looking it up any time you have any question. If the answer is not on there, feel free to email.
The remainder of this page contains some information and notes specific to the sections I am teaching, i.e. 030 and 040.

 Consider the system $\binom{x}{y}' = \binom{-y + \mu (x^2+y^2)x}{x + \mu (x^2+y^2)y},$ where $\mu$ is a parameter varying between $-0.5$ and $0.5$ in the picture. In this example, the linearized system has matrix $\left[ \begin{smallmatrix} 0 & -1 \\ 1 & 0 \end{smallmatrix}\right]$ for every $\mu$, with eigenvalues $\pm i$. As predicted, while the linearized system (see fig. right) cannot tell whether the corresponding non-linear critical point is a sink, center or source, the nonlinear system (fig. left) gives all possible outcomes depending on the value of $\mu$ (center at $\mu=0$, sink for $\mu<0$, source for $\mu>0$). Consider the system $\binom{x}{y}' = \binom{-x - \mu (x^2+y^2)y}{-y + \mu (x^2+y^2)x},$ where $\mu$ is a parameter varying between $-0.5$ and $0.5$ in the picture. In this example, the linearized system has matrix $\left[ \begin{smallmatrix} -1 & 0 \\ 0 & -1 \end{smallmatrix}\right]$ for every $\mu$, with double eigenvalue $-1$. As predicted, while the linearized system (see fig. right) cannot tell whether the corresponding non-linear critical point is a node or a spiral, the nonlinear system (fig. left) gives all possible outcomes depending on the value of $\mu$ (node at $\mu=0$, spiral otherwise).
