Determining whether a fixed point of differential equation system is stable or not

143 Views Asked by At

I am trying to determine whether the fixed point $(0,0)$ is stable/asymptotically stable or not at all in the next system: $x'=y$, $y'=-x^n$. I tried to find a Lyapunov function or to linearize (using the differential), without success. Any help will be appreciated.
