Squares and constants in the dynamical system

63 Views Asked by At

I have $$ \begin{eqnarray} x'&=& x^2 - y^2 -1 \\ y'&=& 2y \end{eqnarray} $$ How can I solve such a system? I have tried the substitution $X= x^2 - 1$ but I still get constants in the new system as well as square roots this time. I need some advice on the proper substitution to use so as to solve the system. Thank you very much.
