The system is called a smooth system, if the function x(t) has continuous derivatives
When the change of the output is not proportional to the change of the input, the system is nonlinear.
The smooth nonlinear system is called autonomous when A is independent from time t. - 26Definition for the periodical solution in the form of a closed orbit. What is the difference of the closed orbit with limit cycle (LC)?If x(t) is a periodical solution for the linear system x=Ax, then so is cx(t) for any constant c=/0. Hence x(t) is surrounded by a one-parameter family of closed orbits. On the other hand, limit cycles are inherently nonlinear phenomena and they are isolated closed trajectories. i.e. their neighbouring trajectories are not closed
- 27Give a definition of a Lyapunov function and explain how it can be used for proving the stability of critical pointsA Liapunov function is a continuous, differentiable, real-valued function V(𝑥⃗)>0 with the following
properties:
a) 𝑉(𝑥⃗) > 0 for all 𝑥⃗ ≠ 𝑥∗⃗, and 𝑉(𝑥∗⃗) = 0. (We say V is positive definite.)
b) 𝑉̇ < 0 for all 𝑥⃗ ≠ 𝑥∗⃗. (All trajectories flow “downhill” toward 𝑥∗⃗.)
Consider a system 𝑥̇ ⃗ = 𝑓⃗(𝑥⃗) with a fixed point at 𝑥∗⃗. Suppose that we can find a Liapunov
Function. Then 𝑥∗⃗ is globally asymptotically stable: for all initial conditions, 𝑥⃗ → 𝑥∗⃗, as 𝑡 → ∞.
In particular, the system has no closed orbits. - 28Theorem for Conservative SystemsConsider the system x' = f(x), where x ∈ R^2 and f is continuously
differentiable. Let’s assume that ∃E(x) (a conserved quantity) and
x* an isolated fixed point. If x*
is a local minimum of E, then all
trajectories sufficiently close to x*
are closed (i.e. the linear centre
is a nonlinear centre too) - 29What is a Liapunov FunctionA continuously differentiable, real-valued function V(x) with the
following properties:
1) V(x) > 0, ∀x ~= x*
2) V(x*) = 0, where x* is the fixed point.
3) V' < 0, ∀x ~= x* - 30How many fixed points in a linear system? How many fixed points can have a nonlinear autonomous system?An equilibrium solution of the system 𝑥̇ ⃗ = A𝑥⃗ is a point (x1, x2) where 𝑥̇ ⃗ = 0, that is, where x1' =
x2'= 0. An equilibrium solution is a constant solution of the system, and is usually called a fixed
point. For a linear system 𝑥̇ ⃗ = 𝐴𝑥⃗, an equilibrium solution occurs at each solution of the system (of
homogeneous algebraic equations) Ax = 0. As we have seen, such a system has exactly one solution,
located at the origin, if det(A) ≠ 0. If det(A) = 0, then there are infinitely many solutions. - 31Name different types of critical points in two-dimensional nonlinear autonomous system, give their characterisation in terms of linearized system eigenvalues and eigenvectors, sketch the phase portrait for these critical points.Repellers (also called sources): both eigenvalues have positive real part.
Attractors (also called sinks): both eigenvalues have negative real part.
Saddles: one eigenvalue is positive and one is negative.
Centers: both eigenvalues are pure imaginary.
Higher-order and non-isolated fixed points: at least one eigenvalue is
zero. - 32θ' =
