How to find linearised system using eigenvectors

38 Views Asked by At

I have the system \begin{align} \frac{dx}{dt} &= y + x^2\\ \frac{dy}{dt} &= -y + x^2 \end{align} with an equilibrium point at the origin

I've found the Jacobian matrix, and that

eigenvalue $1 = 0$

eigenvector $1 = (1, 0)$

eigenvalue $2 = -1$

eigenvector $2 = (1, -1)$

How do I find the linearised system from these eigenvectors? And how would I do it for general eigenvectors other than these ones? Thank you
