Plotting phase curves Mathematica

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on generating phase curves using Mathematica for the given ordinary differential equations (ODEs): $$\dot{x} = -x + ay + x^2y$$ and $$\dot{y} = b - ay - x^2y$$. The user seeks to create a plot similar to the phase plane plot of the Van der Pol differential equation, specifically a parametric plot of x(t) versus x'(t). Examples from Wolfram Demonstrations are referenced to illustrate the desired output.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with ordinary differential equations (ODEs)
  • Understanding of phase portraits and phase curves
  • Basic knowledge of Mathematica for plotting
  • Experience with parametric plotting techniques
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore Mathematica's ParametricPlot function for ODE visualization
  • Study the Van der Pol oscillator example in detail for insights
  • Learn about phase plane analysis in dynamical systems
  • Investigate the use of Manipulate in Mathematica for interactive plots
USEFUL FOR

Mathematics students, researchers in dynamical systems, and anyone interested in visualizing ordinary differential equations using Mathematica.

I was talking to my professor and I am tying to generate a phase curve that looks like (see attached).However, I am only been able to generate phase portraits.View attachment 94I need to generate a plot that does that.From these equations,$$\dot{x} = -x + ay +x^2y$$$$\dot{y} = b -ay-x^2y$$Here is what I have been able to generate thus farView attachment 95
