Graduate Phase Portraits of a system of differential equations

Click For Summary
A phase portrait of a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) visually represents all possible solutions for various initial conditions. It serves as a comprehensive diagram that captures the trajectories of the system, providing critical insights into its behavior. The complexity of accurately obtaining a phase portrait is due to the need to encompass all potential paths within the system. This characteristic diagram is essential for understanding the dynamics of the system. Overall, phase portraits are vital tools in analyzing the solutions of differential equations.

One thing that bothers me regarding the phase portraits, if I plot a phase portrait, then all my possible solutions (for different initial conditions) are included in the diagram?
In other words, a phase portrait of a system of ODE's is its characteristic diagram?

Yes, the phase portrait gives a complete information about all trajectories. That is why it is so hard to obtain it.
