What are all the possible $α$- and $ω$-limit sets of points for the linear system of equations $x'=Ax$ given by the following matrices $A$:
I guess I don't really know how to get started, Could I have some guidance? So I was told to calculate the eigenvalues (fine) and eigenvectors (I kind of forgot how to do that...)
- $ A= \left[ {\begin{array}{cc} -4 & -2 \\ 3 & 11 \\ \end{array} } \right] $
$λ_1=-10$ $λ_2=-5$
for $λ_1=-10$:
eigenvector $ = \left[ {\begin{array}{cc} 1 \\ 3 \\ \end{array} } \right] $
for $λ_2=-5$:
eigenvector $ = \left[ {\begin{array}{cc} 2 \\ 1 \\ \end{array} } \right] $
- $ A= \left[ {\begin{array}{cc} 1 & 1 \\ 3 & 1 \\ \end{array} } \right] $
$λ_1=4$ $λ_2=-2$
for $λ_1=4$:
eigenvector $ = \left[ {\begin{array}{cc} 1 \\ 1 \\ \end{array} } \right] $
for $λ_2=-2$:
eigenvector $ = \left[ {\begin{array}{cc} -1 \\ 1 \\ \end{array} } \right] $
- $ A= \left[ {\begin{array}{cc} 4 & 5 \\ -5 & -2 \\ \end{array} } \right] $
$λ_1=1+4i$ $λ_2=1-4i$
for $λ_1=1+4i$:
eigenvector $ = \left[ {\begin{array}{cc} -3/5-(4i)/5 \\ 1 \\ \end{array} } \right] $
for $λ_1=1-4i$:
eigenvector $ = \left[ {\begin{array}{cc} -3/5+(4i)/5 \\ 1 \\ \end{array} } \right]$
