The stable manifold theorem says that there exists a stable manifold and an unstable manifold with the dimension corresponding to the dimension of its eigenspace of its linearized operator. I have the following question
- Is such decomposition unique, i.e. Can we find other stable manifold?
- What about the behavior of the point not on these two manifold? By Hartman Gorbman, we know if a point is on stable manifold , then at some time t<0, it will go out a neighborhood of the equilibrium point
