plotting - How to plot the stable and unstable manifolds of a hyperbolic fixed point of a nonlinear system of differential equations?


Suppose we have the following simplified system of two ordinary differential equations:


$$\dot{x}(t)=x(t)^2+2y(t)\\ \dot{y}(t)=3x(t)$$



The system has a hyperbolic fixed point the origin. Hence there exits a stable and an unstable manifold going through the origin.


I would like to plot these exact sets. I am able to plot basins of attraction for regions in phase space but I fail to do so once the attracting region is a one-dimensional line (as is the case here with the stable manifold).

Edit: With MMM's help I was able to roughly plot the unstable manifold. However, what is more challenging is to plot the stable one.


Eq1 = x'[t] == x[t]^2 + 2*y[t];
Eq2 = y'[t] == 3*x[t];
splot = StreamPlot[{x^2 + 2*y, 3*x}, {x, -6, 6}, {y, -6, 6}];
Show[splot, 
 ParametricPlot[
  Evaluate[First[{x[t], y[t]} /. 

  NDSolve[{Eq1, Eq2, Thread[{x[0], y[0]} == {-0.01, 0}]}, {x, 
   y}, {t, 0, 3}]]], {t, 0, 3}, PlotStyle -> Red], 
 ParametricPlot[
  Evaluate[First[{x[t], y[t]} /. 
     NDSolve[{Eq1, Eq2, Thread[{x[0], y[0]} == {0.01, 0}]}, {x, 
       y}, {t, 0, 2.4}]]], {t, 0, 2.4}, PlotStyle -> Red]]

Answer



The trick to getting the unstable manifold is to run backwards in time. Here I added two more solutions starting near the equilibrium but with negative t:



Eq1 = x'[t] == x[t]^2 + 2*y[t];
Eq2 = y'[t] == 3*x[t];
splot = StreamPlot[{x^2 + 2*y, 3*x}, {x, -6, 6}, {y, -6, 6}];
Show[splot, 
  ParametricPlot[Evaluate[First[{x[t], y[t]} /. 
  NDSolve[{Eq1, Eq2, Thread[{x[0], y[0]} == {-0.01, 0}]}, {x, y}, {t, 0, 4}]]],
  {t, 0, 4}, PlotStyle -> Red, PlotRange -> {{-6, 6}, {-6, 6}}], 
  ParametricPlot[Evaluate[First[{x[t], y[t]} /. 
  NDSolve[{Eq1, Eq2, Thread[{x[0], y[0]} == {0.01, 0}]}, {x, y}, {t, 0, 2.6}]]],
  {t, 0, 2.6}, PlotStyle -> Red, PlotRange -> {{-6, 6}, {-6, 6}}],

  ParametricPlot[Evaluate[First[{x[t], y[t]} /. 
  NDSolve[{Eq1, Eq2, Thread[{x[0], y[0]} == {-0.01, 0}]}, {x, y}, {t, 0, -2.6}]]],
  {t, 0, -2.6}, PlotStyle -> Green, PlotRange -> {{-6, 6}, {-6, 6}}], 
  ParametricPlot[Evaluate[First[{x[t], y[t]} /.
  NDSolve[{Eq1, Eq2, Thread[{x[0], y[0]} == {0.01, 0}]}, {x, y}, {t, 0, -4}]]],
  {t, 0, -4}, PlotStyle -> Green, PlotRange -> {{-6, 6}, {-6, 6}}]
]

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...

mathematical optimization - Minimizing using indices, error: Part::pkspec1: The expression cannot be used as a part specification

I want to use Minimize where the variables to minimize are indices pointing into an array. Here a MWE that hopefully shows what my problem is. vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@ { Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; Minimize[{Total@((vec1[[#]] - vec2[[u[#]]])^2 & /@ Range[1, 3]), cons}, vars, Integers] The error I get: Part::pkspec1: The expression u[1] cannot be used as a part specification. >> Answer Ok, it seems that one can get around Mathematica trying to evaluate vec2[[u[1]]] too early by using the function Indexed[vec2,u[1]] . The working MWE would then look like the following: vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@{ Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; NMinimize[ {Total@((vec1[[#]] - Indexed[vec2, u[#]])^2 & /@ R...
