    States Steady
Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on identifying the steady states of a system defined by a set of nondimensionalized differential equations. The known steady states are (0,0) and (1,0), but the possibility of additional steady states is questioned. The equations suggest conditions for steady states, specifically when 1−u_1 −a_{12} u_2 = 0 and a−a_{21} u_1 = 0. The contributor indicates they have previously resolved the issue of finding these steady states. The conversation emphasizes the importance of analyzing the equations to uncover all potential steady states.

Steady states for a system of nondimensionalized DEs

$$
\begin{array}{lcl}
\frac{du_1}{d\tau} & = & u_1(1 - u_1 - a_{12}u_2)\\
\frac{du_2}{d\tau} & = & \rho u_2(a - a_{21}u_1)
\end{array}
$$

So $(0,0)$ and $(1,0)$. Are there any more? If so, how did you find them?

What if

$1−u_1 −a_{12} u_2 = 0$ and $a−a_{21} u_1 = 0$?

I figured it out awhile ago but thanks.
