Stable manifold theorem

136 Views Asked by At

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


  1. Is such decomposition unique, i.e. Can we find other stable manifold?
  2. 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
