Asymptotically stable nodes, often referred to as sink nodes, are characterized by trajectories that converge to a stable equilibrium point over time. An example of a sink node can be found in certain ecosystems where populations stabilize around a carrying capacity. Conversely, asymptotically unstable nodes, or source nodes, are points where trajectories diverge away from the equilibrium, such as in certain economic models where resources are depleted. Visualizations of critical points, including both sink and source nodes, can be found on educational websites and mathematical modeling platforms. Understanding these concepts is crucial for analyzing dynamic systems in various fields.

Hi,
i need a real world example of an asymptotically stable node, is there such a thing as asymptotically unstable node?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
to be more specific, i need real world examples of a sink node , and a source node
 
Is there a visualizations for the critical points somewhere in the internet?
 
In sci-fi when an author is talking about space travellers or describing the movement of galaxies they will say something like “movement in space only means anything in relation to another object”. Examples of this would be, a space ship moving away from earth at 100 km/s, or 2 galaxies moving towards each other at one light year per century. I think it would make it easier to describe movement in space if we had three axis that we all agree on and we used 0 km/s relative to the speed of...
