Homework Statement


Show that I = log(u)-u+2log(v)-v is an invariant of the following system
[itex] \dot{u}=u(v-2)[/itex]

[itex] \dot{v}=v(1-u)[/itex]

Homework Equations



The Attempt at a Solution


The question was given on a homework assignment, but I have very little idea what it is asking for and even less of an idea of how to solve it.

it just means that I-dot is zero :wink:
