d2 x
dx
+ c(x) + g(x) = 0
2
dt
dt
where c(0) = g(0) = 0. (Note that damped or undamped pendulum equations are special cases
of Lienard equation.)
(a) Write the Lienard equation as a system of two first order equations by introducing the
variable y =
dx
.
dt
(b) Show that (0, 0) is a critical point and that the system is almost linear near (0, 0).
(c) Show that if c(0) > 0, g (0) > 0, then (0, 0) is asymptotically stable, and that if c(0) < 0
or g (0) < 0, then the critical point is unstable.
Answer: a). Let y = x , then from the original equation, we get
x
= y
y
= в€’c(x)y в€’ g(x).
b). Since g(0) = 0, then (0,0) is the critical point of the system. Since в€’c(x)y в€’ g(x) is
continuously differentiable, the system is almost linear in the neighborhood of (0,0).
c). The corresponding linear system near (0, 0) is

Case A: c(0) > 0, g (0) > 0
= c2 (0) в€’ 4g > 0, then О»2 < О»1 < 0 and (0,0) is an asymptotical stable critical point.
If
If
= c2 (0) в€’ 4g < 0, then О»2 = О± + ОІi, О»1 = О± в€’ ОІi where О± = в€’ c(0)
< 0 and (0,0) is an
2
asymptotical stable critical point.
If
= c2 (0) в€’ 4g = 0, then О»2 = О»1 = в€’ c(0)
< 0 and (0,0) is an asymptotical stable critical
2
point.

Case B: c(0) < 0
= c2 (0) в€’ 4g > 0, then О»1 > О»2 > 0 and (0,0) is an unstable critical point.
If
If
= c2 (0) в€’ 4g < 0, then О»2 = О± + ОІi, О»1 = О± в€’ ОІi where О± = в€’ c(0)
> 0 and (0,0) is an

unstable critical point.
If
= c2 (0) в€’ 4g = 0, then О»2 = О»1 = в€’ c(0)

Case C: g (0) < 0
In this case, О»1 > 0 > О»2 > 0 and (0,0) is an unstable critical point.

Answer: a). (0,0) is an isolated critical point of the system. Let
V (x, y) = ax2 + cy 2
then
dV
= в€’2ax4 в€’ 2cy 4 + (2a в€’ 4c)x2 y 2
dt
Let a = 2, c = 1, then V (x, y) = 2x2 + y 2 is positive definite and
dV
= в€’4x4 в€’ 2y 4
dt
is negative definite. Hence, (0,0) is an asymptotical stable critical point.
b). (0,0) is an isolated critical point of the system. Let
V (x, y) = ax2 + cy 2
then
dV
= в€’ax4 в€’ 2cy 4 в€’ 4ax2 y 2
dt
Let a = 1, c = 2, then V (x, y) = x2 + 2y 2 is positive definite and
dV
= в€’x4 в€’ 4x2 y 2 в€’ 4y 4 = в€’(x2 + 2y 2 )2
dt
is negative definite. Hence, (0,0) is an asymptotical stable critical point.
3
c). (0,0) is an isolated critical point of the system. Let
V (x, y) = ax2 + cy 2
then
dV
= в€’2ax4 + 4axy 3 в€’ 4cxy 3
dt
Let a = 1, c = 1, then V (x, y) = x2 + y 2 is positive definite and
dV
= в€’2x4
dt
is negative semidefinite. Hence, (0,0) is a stable critical point.
d). (0,0) is an isolated critical point of the system. Let
V (x, y) = ax2 + cy 2
then
dV
= 2ax4 + 4cy 4 + (в€’2a + 4c)x2 y 2
dt
Let a = 2, c = 1, then V (x, y) = 2x2 + y 2 is positive definite and
dV
= 4x4 + 8x2 y 2 + 4y 4 = (x2 + y 2 )2
dt
is positive definite. Hence, (0,0) is an unstable critical point.
3. Consider the following system of equations
dx
dy
= y в€’ xf (x, y),
= в€’x в€’ yf (x, y)
dt
dt
By constructing Liaponov function of the type c(x2 + y 2 ), show that of f (x, y) > 0 in some neighborhood of (0, 0), then (0, 0) is asymptotically stable, and if f (x, y) < 0 in some neighborhood
of (0, 0), then (0, 0) is an unstable critical point.
Answer: (0,0) is an isolated critical point of the system. Let
V (x, y) = cx2 + cy 2
then
dV
= в€’2c(x2 + y 2 )f (x, y)
dt
Let c = 1, then V (x, y) = x2 + y 2 is positive definite and
dV
= в€’2(x2 + y 2 )f (x, y)
dt
If f (x, y) > 0 in some neighborhood of (0,0), then dV
is negative definite. Hence, (0,0) is an
dt
asymptotical stable critical point.
If f (x, y) < 0 in some neighborhood of (0,0), then
unstable critical point.
dV

is positive definite. Hence, (0,0) is an

4. Consider the following 2nd order ODE;
d2 x
+ g(x) = 0
dt2
where g(x) satisfies: g(0) = 0, xg(x) > 0 for x = 0, |x| < k. (A typical example is g(x) =
sin x, k = ПЂ2 .)
(a) Write the equation as a system of two first order equations by introducing the variable
.
y = dx

(b) Show that (0, 0) is a critical point.
(c) Show that

g(s)ds, в€’k < x < k
V (x, y) = y +
2

is positive definite, and use this result to show that (0, 0) is stable.
Answer: a). Let y = x then
x
= y
y
= в€’g(x)
b). Since g(0) = 0, (0,0) is a critical point of the system.
c). Let
x
1
V (x, y) = y 2 +
g(s)ds, в€’k < x < k
2
0
Then V (0, 0) = 0.
If в€’k < x < 0, from xg(x) > 0, we get g(x) < 0. So
x

g(s)ds = в€’

g(s) > 0ds
x
If 0 < x < k, from xg(x) > 0, we get g(x) > 0. So
x
g(s)ds > 0

Hence, V (x, y) is positive definite in (в€’k, k) Г— (в€’1, 1)

From above argument, (0,0) is a stable critical point of the system.

other, are bluegill and redear. Suppose that a pond is stocked with bluegill and redear, and let

so as shown in the text, there is a stable equilibrium point at

What effect does this have on the equilibrium populations? Is it possible, by fishing, to reduce

p543 11.Consider the system (3) in Example 1 of the text.Recall that this system has an asymptotically stable critical point at (0.5, 0.5),corresponding to the stable coexistence of the two
population species.Now suppose that immigration or emigration occurs at the constant rates of
Оґa and Оґb for the species x and y,respectively.In this case Eqs.(3) are replaced by
dx/dt = x(1 в€’ x в€’ y) + Оґa, (i)
dy/dt = y(0.75 в€’ y в€’ 0.5x) + Оґb.
The question is what effect this has on the location of the stable equilibrium point.
(a)To find the new critical point,we must solve the equations
x(1 в€’ x в€’ y) + Оґa = 0, (ii)
y(0.75 в€’ y в€’ 0.5x) + Оґb = 0.
One way to proceed is to assume that x and y are given by power series in the parameter Оґ;thus
x = x0 + x 1 Оґ + В· В· В· ,
y = y0 + y1 Оґ + В· В· В· .(iii)
9
Substitute Eqs.(iii) into Eqs.(ii) and collect terms according to powers of Оґ.
(b)From the constant terms(the terms not involving Оґ),show that x0 = 0.5 and y0 = 0.5,thus
confirming that in the absence of immigration or emigration,the critical point is (0.5, 0.5).
(c)From the terms that are linear in Оґ,show that
x1 = 4a в€’ 4b, y1 = в€’2a + 4b.(iv)
(d)Suppose that a > 0 and b > 0 so that immigration occurs for both species.Show that the
resulting equilibrium solution may represent an increase in both populations,or an increase in
one but a decrease in the other.Explain intuitively why this is a reasonable result.
Answer: (a)Substitute (iii) into (ii) we get:

(b) So there are four critical points (в€’aОґ, в€’ 43 Оґ), (в€’4aОґ, 0.75 + 43 bОґ), (1 + (a + 4b)Оґ, в€’4bОґ), (0.5 +
(2a в€’ 2b + 0.25)Оґ, 0.5 + (2b в€’ 0.25)Оґ),rule out the vanishing term,and when Оґ = 0,the critical point
is (0.5, 0.5)
(c) As is shown in (a)
(d)As the equilibrium is x = 0.5 + (4a в€’ 4b)Оґ, y = 0.5 + 2(2b в€’ a)Оґ. When b < a < 2b,then both
species increase;when a > 2b or a < b,then one species increase and the other decrease.

12
then
dV
= в€’ax4 в€’ 4cy 4 + 4ax2 y 2
dt
Let a = 1, c = 1, then V (x, y) = x2 + y 2 is positive definite and
dV

then
dV

Let a = 1, c = 1, then V (x, y) = x2 + y 2 is positive definite and

is negative semidefinite. Hence, (0,0) is a stable critical point.
4. (0,0) is an isolated critical point of the system. Let

By constructing Liaponov function of the type c(x2 + y 2 ), show that of f (x, y) > 0 in some neighborhood of (0, 0), then (0, 0) is asymptotically stable, and if f (x, y) < 0 in some neighborhood
of (0, 0), then (0, 0) is an unstable critical point.
Answer: (0,0) is an isolated critical point of the system. Let
V (x, y) = cx2 + cy 2
then
dV
= в€’2c(x2 + y 2 )f (x, y)

Let c = 1, then V (x, y) = x2 + y 2 is positive definite and

If f (x, y) > 0 in some neighborhood of (0,0), then

p563, 7. By introducing suitable dimensionless variables, we can write the system of nonlinear
equations for the damped pendulum[Eqs.(8) of Section 9.3] as
dx/dt = y, dy/dt = в€’y в€’ sinx
(a) Show that the origin is a critical point.
(b) Show that while V (x, y) = x2 + y 2 is positive definite, VЛ™ (x, y) takes on both positive and
negative values in any domain containing the origin, so that V is not a Liapunov function.
(c) Using the energy function V (x, y) = 12 y 2 + (1 в€’ cos x) mentioned in Problem 6(b), show that
the origin is a stable critical point. Since there is damping in the system, we can expect that
the origin is asymptotically stable. However, is not possible to draw this conclusion using this
Liapunov function.
(d) To show asymptotic stability it is necessary to construct a better Liapunov function than the
one used in part(c). Show that V (x, y) = 21 (x + y)2 + x2 + 21 y 2 is such a Liapunov function, and
conclude the origin is an asymptotically stable critical point.
Answer: Set F (x, y) = y, G(x, y) = в€’y в€’ sin x.
(a) Since F (0, 0) = G(0, 0) = 0, the origin is a critical point.
(b) It is immediate that V (x, y) = x2 + y 2 is positive definite.
VЛ™ (x, y) = 2xy + 2y(в€’y в€’ sin x) = 2y(x в€’ sinx в€’ y).
For any r such that 0 < r < 1, VЛ™ (0, r/2) < 0, setting a = (r/2) в€’ sin(2/r), then VЛ™ (r/2, a/2) < 0.
since r is arbitrary, VЛ™ (x, y) takes on both positive and negative values in any domain containing
the origin.
(c)VЛ™ (x, y) = (sin x)y + y(в€’y в€’ sin y) = в€’y 2 is negative semidefinite, hence the origin is a stable
critical point.
(d)By taylor’s formula, sin x = x − αx3 /3!,where α depends on x but o < α < 1 for −π/2 < x <
ПЂ/2. VЛ™ (x, y) = (3x + y)y в€’ (x + 2y)(y + sin x), substituting sin x = x в€’ О±x3 /3! into VЛ™ , we get
VЛ™ (x, y) = в€’x2 в€’ y 2 + (О±/3!)(x4 + 2x3 y). Letting x = r cos Оё, y = r sin Оё, VЛ™ (r, Оё) = в€’r2 [1 в€’ h(r, Оё)],
where h = (α/3!)r2 (cos4 θ + cos3 α sin α). If r < 1, |h| ≤ (1/3!)(1 + 2) ≤ 1/2. Hence V˙ is negative
definite and the origin is an asymptotically stable critical point.

In Problems 10 and 11 we will prove part of Theorem 9.3.2: If the critical point (0,0) of the
almost linear system
dx/dt = a11 x + a12 y + F1 (x, y), dy/dt = a21 x + a22 y + G1 (x, y) (i)
is an asymptotically stable critical point of the corresponding linear system
dx/dt = a11 x + a12 y, dy/dt = a21 x + a22 y (iI)
then it is an asymptotically stable critical point of the almost linear system(i). Problem 12 deals
with the corresponding result for instability. 10. Consider the linear system(ii)
(a) Since (0,0) is an asymptotically stable critical point, show that a11 + a12 < 0 and a11 a22 в€’
a12 a21 > 0.
(b) Constructa Liapuno function V (x, y) = Ax2 + Bxy + Cy 2 such that V is positive definite
and VЛ™ is negative definite. One way to ensure that VЛ™ is negative definite is to choose A, B, and
C so that VЛ™ = в€’x2 в€’ y 2 Show that this leads to the result
a221 + a222 + (a11 a22 в€’ a12 a21 )

(a211 + a212 + a221 + a222 )(a11 a22 в€’ a12 a21 ) + 2(a11 a22 в€’ a12 a21 )2

Thus, by Theorem 9.6.4, V is positive definite.
4AC в€’ B 2 =
Answer: (a)Let p = a11 + a12 and q = a11 a22 в€’ a12 a21 , by Table 9.1.1 and Problem 21 of Section
9.1, we see that we must have p < 0 and q > 0 for the origin to be an asymptotically stable
critical point.
(b) Setting A, B, C and ∆ as suggested, computation shows that
VЛ™ = (2Ax + By)(a11 x + a12 y) + (2Cy + Bx)(a21 x + a22 y) = в€’x2 в€’ y 2
(c) By (a), we see that A > 0, computation shows that
4AC в€’ B 2 =

11. In this problem we show that the Liapunov function constructed in the preceding problem
is also a Liapunov function for the almost linear system(i). We must show that there is some
region containing the origin for which VЛ™ is negative definite.
(a) Show that
VЛ™ (x, y) = в€’(x2 + y 2 + (2Ax + By)F1 (x, y) + (Bx + 2Cy)G1 (x, y).
(b) Recall that F1 (x, y)/r в†’ 0 and G1 (x, y)/r в†’ 0 as r в†’ 0. This means that, given any
> 0, there exists a circle r = R about the origin such that for 0 < r < R, |F1 (x, y) < r and
15
|G1 (x, y) < r. Letting M be the maximum of |2A|, |B|, and |2C|, show by introducing polar
coordinates that R can be chosen so that VЛ™ (x, y) < 0 for r < R.
Answer: (a) A direct computation using the definitions immediate gives the result.
(b) Converting to polar coordinate, for r = 0,
VЛ™ = в€’r2 + r(2A cos Оё + B sin Оё)F1 + r(2C sin Оё + B cos Оё)G1
= r2 (в€’1 + (A cos Оё + B sin Оё)(F1 /r) + r(2C sin Оё + B cos Оё)(G1 /r).
Since the system is almost linear, there is an R such that
|(A cos Оё + B sin Оё)(F1 /r) + r(2C sin Оё + B cos Оё)(G1 /r)| < (1/2),
and hence for r < R
1
VЛ™ < в€’ r2
2
Hence VЛ™ is negative definite on the domain r < R.
12. In this problem we prove a part of Theorem 9.3.2 related to instability.
(a) Show that if a11 + a22 > 0 and a11 a22 в€’ a12 a21 > 0, then the critical point (0,0) of the linear
system is unstable.
(b) The same result holds for the almost linear system(i). As in Problems 10 and 11, construct a
positive definite function V such that VЛ™ (x, y) = x2 + y 2 and hence is positive definite, and then
invoke Theorem 9.6.2.
Answer: (a). We consider the linear system
x
y
=
a11 a12
a21 a22
x
y
Let V (x, y) = Ax2 + Bxy + Cy 2 , in which A, B, C and ∆ are the same as in Problem 10. Based
on the hypothesis, the coefficients A and B are negative. Therefore, except for the origin, V (x, y)
is negative on each of the coordinate axes. Along each trajectory,
VЛ™ = (2Ax + By)(a11 x + a12 y) + (2Cy + Bx)(a21 x + a22 y) = в€’x2 в€’ y 2
Hence VЛ™ (x, y) is negative definite. Theorem 9.6.2 asserts that the origin is an unstable critical
point.
(b). We now consider the system(i).Let V (x, y) = Ax2 + Bxy + Cy 2 where
a221 + a222 + (a11 a22 в€’ a12 a21 )
a12 a22 + a11 a21
a2 + a212 + (a11 a22 в€’ a12 a21 )
,B = в€’
, C = 11
,
2∆
∆
2∆
and ∆ = (a11 + a22 )(a11 a22 − a12 a21 ). Based on the hypothesis, A, B ¿ 0. Except for the origin,
A=
V (x, y) is positive on each of the coordinate axes. Along each trajectory,
VЛ™ = x2 + y 2 + (2Ax + By)F1 (x, y) + (2Cy + Bx)G1 (x, y).
16
Converting to polar coordinate, for r = 0,
VЛ™ = r2 + r(2A cos Оё + B sin Оё)F1 + r(2C sin Оё + B cos Оё)G1
= r2 (1 + (A cos Оё + B sin Оё)(F1 /r) + r(2C sin Оё + B cos Оё)(G1 /r).
Since the system is almost linear, there is an R such that
|(A cos Оё + B sin Оё)(F1 /r) + r(2C sin Оё + B cos Оё)(G1 /r)| < (1/2),
and hence for r < R
1
VЛ™ > r2
2
Л™
Hence V is positive definite on the domain r < R.By Theorem 9.6.2, the origin is an unstable
critical point.
