5.0 A better way to understand Differential Equations | Nonlinear Dynamics | Bendixson's Criterion

Higher Ed
Bendixson's criterion is another method used to disprove the existence of closed orbits. A periodic solution is a type of closed orbit. This theorem only holds for simply connected regions in 2D. The statement is that if on a simply...

Linearization PROOF | Nonlinear Dynamics (Part 3 extra)

Higher Ed
This video shows a formal proof behind linearization for 2D flows: dx/dt = f(x,y) dy/dt = g(x,y) Step 1: Find fixed points. This involves solving for where dx/dt and dy/dt both are equal to 0. Step 2: Approximate f(x,y) and g(x,y) as...
