Dynamical System Analysis using Mathematica

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on analyzing a dynamical system defined by two autonomous ODEs and finding equilibrium points using Mathematica. The user successfully utilized NSolve to obtain five solutions for the equilibrium points and constructed the Jacobian matrix. The next step involves substituting the solutions into the Jacobian matrix to compute its eigenvalues. The user seeks assistance on how to effectively substitute these values into the matrix. The conversation highlights the importance of mapping the solutions to the matrix format for further analysis.

Hello there,

Let me start from the beginning. I have dynamical system described by two autonomous ODEs (eqn1, eqn2). To find equilibrium points I used NSolve[{eqn1 == 0, eqn2 == 0}, {x, y}] which gave me 5 solutions in a form {{x->2, y->0},{...},...}. I also constructed Jacobian matrix using M={{D[eqn1,x], D[eqn1,y]},{D[eqn2,x],D[eqn2,x]}} which is written with x and y. Next I need to calculate this Jacobian matrix substituting solutions from NSolve function to find its eigenvalues. So I should have 5 matrices with corresponding eigenvalues. How can I achieve this? The problem is to substitute values from the solution to the matrix.

I will appreciate any help.

I understood how to extract NSolve output. For this purpose you need to write soln=NSolve[...], then to access the solution values of this function x /. soln[[1]], y/.soln[[1]] (this corresponds to the 1st solution)
 
So next step will be to substitute those values to the matrix written in terms of x and y. Any ideas?
 
Can you apply this method to your problem?

In[1]:= mat={{x,y},{x+y+1,2x-3}};
sols={{x->1,y->3},{x->2,y->4}};
Map[mat/.#&,sols]

Out[3]=
{{{1, 3},
{5, -1}},

{{2, 4},
{7, 1}}}

Thank you. I used quite similar way of doing this.
 
Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...
I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
