Is this an isolated equilibrium point?

2.4k Views Asked by At

I've just been learning the definition of an isolated equilibrium point. From my understanding of this definition, I would expect (as an example) the point $x=1$ to be an isolated fixed point for the differential equation $\dfrac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt} = x-1$. Is this correct?

Yes, that is correct.

$1$ is an isolated equilibrium point as we can find a neighbourhood around it which does not contain any other equilibrium points (there's no other equilibrium points for the equation).
