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:


˙x(t)=x(t)2+2y(t)˙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).


streamplot


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}}]
]

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...

functions - Get leading series expansion term?

Given a function f[x] , I would like to have a function leadingSeries that returns just the leading term in the series around x=0 . For example: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x)] x and leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x^3)/4)/(4 + x)] -(1/(16 x^3)) Is there such a function in Mathematica? Or maybe one can implement it efficiently? EDIT I finally went with the following implementation, based on Carl Woll 's answer: lds[ex_,x_]:=( (ex/.x->(x+O[x]^2))/.SeriesData[U_,Z_,L_List,Mi_,Ma_,De_]:>SeriesData[U,Z,{L[[1]]},Mi,Mi+1,De]//Quiet//Normal) The advantage is, that this one also properly works with functions whose leading term is a constant: lds[Exp[x],x] 1 Answer Update 1 Updated to eliminate SeriesData and to not return additional terms Perhaps you could use: leadingSeries[expr_, x_] := Normal[expr /. x->(x+O[x]^2) /. a_List :> Take[a, 1]] Then for your examples: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x), x] leadingSeries[Exp[x], x] leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x...

plotting - Plot 4D data with color as 4th dimension

I have a list of 4D data (x position, y position, amplitude, wavelength). I want to plot x, y, and amplitude on a 3D plot and have the color of the points correspond to the wavelength. I have seen many examples using functions to define color but my wavelength cannot be expressed by an analytic function. Is there a simple way to do this? Answer Here a another possible way to visualize 4D data: data = Flatten[Table[{x, y, x^2 + y^2, Sin[x - y]}, {x, -Pi, Pi,Pi/10}, {y,-Pi,Pi, Pi/10}], 1]; You can use the function Point along with VertexColors . Now the points are places using the first three elements and the color is determined by the fourth. In this case I used Hue, but you can use whatever you prefer. Graphics3D[ Point[data[[All, 1 ;; 3]], VertexColors -> Hue /@ data[[All, 4]]], Axes -> True, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1/GoldenRatio}]
