Analyzer of a nonlinear autonomous dynamical system on the plane by Hartman-Grobman theorem

This post presents the Python program nonlin-auton-plane-sys-hartman-analyzer.py and its command line usage. The program analyzes, using both symbolic techniques (via SymPy) and numerical techniques (via NumPy), the behavior of a nonlinear and autonomous dynamic system on the plane by a system of two differential equations expressed in this form: $$ \begin{equation} \begin{cases} x'(t) = P(x, y) \\ y'(t) = Q(x, y) \end{cases} \end{equation} $$
where $P$ and $Q$ are two nonlinear functions of $x$ and $y$.

The program first determines the critical points and whether they are finite in number (the program does not support a finite number of critical points), determines whether they are hyperbolic or non-hyperbolic by analyzing the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the Jacobian matrix calculated at each critical point; then only for hyperbolic critical points the program classifies them in the appropriate category analyzing the type and stability of the linear system obtained by applying the Hartman–Grobman theorem.
Finally, the program also draws the phase portrait on the plane which provides a qualitative analysis of the behavior of the trajectories on which it also draws the eigenvectors (if they are not complex) of the constant coefficient matrices representing the linearized systems at the hyperbolic critical points.

Basically, the Hartman-Grobman theorem shows that the behavior of a dynamical system around a hyperbolic critical point is qualitatively similar to that of its linearization around that point and provides the linearization formula which is based on on the Jacobian matrix of the original system computed at that critical point. So by studying this linearization, which is easier, we can indirectly study some characteristics of the original system.

Conventions

In this post, the conventions used are as follows:

  • $t$ is the time independent variable.
  • $x(t)$ and $y(t)$ are the unknown functions of the system.
  • $J$ indicates the Jacobian matrix.
  • $J_{(x_i, y_i)}$ indicates the Jacobian matrix calculated at point $\left[\begin{matrix} x_i & y_i \end{matrix} \right]^\dag$.
  • $\lambda_{i_1}$ and $\lambda_{i_2}$ are the two eigenvalues of the matrix $J_{(x_i, y_i)}$.

Definitions

The following definitions apply in this post:

  • Autonomous system: a system of ordinary differential equations that do not explicitly depend on the independent variable $t$.

  • Critical point: a point where $\frac{dx}{dt}$ and $\frac{dy}{dt}$ computed at that point are equal to $0$ for every $t$.

  • Stationary or equilibrium point: a critical point that is of relative minimum or relative maximum, and not instead a saddle point.

  • Jacobian matrix: is the 2x2 matrix whose elements are the partial prime derivatives of the functions $P(x, y)$ and $Q(x, y)$ with respect to $x$ and $y$.

  • Hyperbolic point: a critical point $\left[\begin{matrix} x_i & y_i \end{matrix} \right]^\dag$ such that the matrix $J_{(x_i, y_i)}$ that linearizes the initial system at that critical point has no eigenvalues with real part equal to $0$.
    The word "hyperbolic" is due to the fact that on the plane the trajectories close to the hyperbolic point lie on hyperbola lines centered at that point with respect to a suitable reference system.

  • Non-hyperbolic point: a critical point $\left[\begin{matrix} x_i & y_i \end{matrix} \right]^\dag$ such that the matrix $J_{(x_i, y_i)}$ that linearizes the initial system at that critical point has eigenvalues equal to zero or pure imaginary (so with real part equal to $0$).

Program features

The program takes as input, via command line, the pair of nonlinear functions $P(x,y)$ and $Q(x,y)$ which represent the system to be studied in the form $$ \begin{equation} \begin{cases} x'(t) = P(x, y) \\ y'(t) = Q(x, y) \end{cases} \end{equation} $$
and determines the following characteristics:

  • The set of critical points, by solving the system of equations: $$ \begin{equation} \begin{cases} P(x, y) = 0 \\ Q(x, y) = 0 \end{cases} \end{equation} $$ If the critical points are infinite, the program does no further processing and jumps to drawing the phase portrait.
  • The type of critical points, divided between hyperbolic vs non-hyperbolic by studying the real part of the eigenvalues of the Jacobian matrix computed for each critical point: if the real part is non-zero, the point is of hyperbolic type, otherwise (so at least one eigenvalue is equal to zero or pure imaginary) the point is non-hyperbolic.
  • The eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the Jacobian matrix $J_{(x_i, y_i)}$, distinguishing the various cases between real vs complex, sign (of the real part) concordant or discordant, degenerate cases (geometric multiplicity less than 2); in this last case the program calculates the generalized eigenvectors using an algorithm based on Jordan blocks.
  • The class of critical points, divided between stable vs unstable and between node, point, saddle, singular, degenerate and any combinations of them as a function of the sign of the eigenvalues of the Jacobian matrix computed for each hyperbolic critical point.
In addition, the program traces the phase portrait, which contains:
  • The trajectories, plotted in red and computed by numerically solving the system of differential equations by discretely varying the initial condition at time $t=0$.
  • The gradient, plotted as a vector field with blue arrows; the length of the arrows indicates the value of the modulus of the gradient, the direction indicates the direction in which the gradient vector tends to $\mathbf{0}$.
  • Eigenvectors, drawn only if they have real components; an eigenvector corresponding to a positive eigenvalue is drawn with a magenta colored arrow, an eigenvector corresponding to a negative eigenvalue is drawn with a green arrow.

Examples

A series of examples follow, all available on GitHub at this link nonlin-auton-plane-sys-hartman-analyzer-examples.
Some of them are described in detail below, for others there is only shown the phase portraits and we refer to the corresponding scripts on GitHub for the command line.

Example #01

The shell script for this example is example_01.sh. The system consists of the following pair of differential equations: $$ \begin{equation} \begin{cases} x' = x \\ y' = x^2 + y^2 - 1 \end{cases} \end{equation} $$ In order to study the behavior of such system we execute the command:

$ python nonlin-auton-plane-sys-hartman-analyzer.py \
    --dx_dt "x" \
    --dy_dt "x**2 + y**2 - 1" \
    --t_num_of_samples 500 \
    --x0_begin -3 --x0_end 3 \
    --y0_begin -3 --y0_end 3
whose output is:

From which we see that the critical points are finite and there are two: $\left[\begin{matrix} 0 & -1 \end{matrix} \right]^\dag$ e $\left[\begin{matrix} 0 & 1 \end{matrix} \right]^\dag$.
Furthermore both are hyperbolic and the eigenvalues of the Jacobian matrix computed at the point $\left[\begin{matrix} 0 & -1 \end{matrix} \right]^\dag$ have sign discordant and therefore the first critical point is classified as saddle point while the eigenvalues of the Jacobian matrix calculated at the point $\left[\begin{matrix} 0 & 1 \end{matrix} \right]^\dag$ are both positive, so the second critical point is classified as an unstable node.

Example #09 and #10 Holling-Tanner

This pair of examples describes like the previous one an ecosystem dynamics in which only two animal species interact: one of them as a predator (modeled by the variable $y$), the other as its prey (modeled by the variable $x$), but following a different system of equations, called the Holling-Tanner system.

The shell scripts in this pair of examples are example_09_holling-tanner_0_dot5.sh and example_10_holling_tanner_2dot5.sh. The system consists of the following pair of differential equations: $$ \begin{equation} \begin{cases} x' = x (1 - \frac{x}{7}) - \frac{6xy}{7 + 7x} \\ y' = 0.2 y (1 - \frac{Ny}{x}) \end{cases} \end{equation} $$ and the two examples differ only in the constant $N$ which is worth $0.5$ for the former and $2.5$ for the latter.

To study the behavior of such a system for $N=0.5$ execute the command:

$ python nonlin-auton-plane-sys-hartman-analyzer.py \

To study the behavior of such a system for $N=2.5$ execute the command::

$ python nonlin-auton-plane-sys-hartman-analyzer.py \
    --dx_dt "x * (1 - x/7) - 6*x*y/(7+7*x)" \
    --dy_dt "0.2*y * (1 - (2.5*y)/x)" \
    --t_num_of_samples 500 \
    --x0_begin 0 --x0_end 8 \
    --y0_begin 0 --y0_end 6
whose output is:
