Computing global stable and unstable manifolds of an autonomous vector field on the plane

280 Views Asked by At

I'm looking to compute the global stable and unstable manifolds for the equilibrium points of the following autonomous vector field on the plane. Apologies for the formatting, I haven't figured out MathJax yet.

x'= -x

y'= y - y^4

For x and y in the Real numbers

So far I've computed the equilibrium points at (0,0) and (0,1) and their linear stability as a saddle point and a sink respectively.

I'm not sure how to continue with the question and would appreciate any pointers.
