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.
 
I have the equation ##F^x=m\frac {d}{dt}(\gamma v^x)##, where ##\gamma## is the Lorentz factor, and ##x## is a superscript, not an exponent. In my textbook the solution is given as ##\frac {F^x}{m}t=\frac {v^x}{\sqrt {1-v^{x^2}/c^2}}##. What bothers me is, when I separate the variables I get ##\frac {F^x}{m}dt=d(\gamma v^x)##. Can I simply consider ##d(\gamma v^x)## the variable of integration without any further considerations? Can I simply make the substitution ##\gamma v^x = u## and then...
