Examples of Phase Plane Diagrams
Center: dx/dt = y, dy/dt = - x
Saddle: dx/dt = y, dy/dt = x
Stable Spiral: dx/dt = y, dy/dt = - x - y
Unstable Spiral: dx/dt = y, dy/dt = - x + y
Saddle and Unstable Spiral: dx/dt = x - y, dy/dt = 1 - x y
Limit Cycles: dx/dt = y + x sin(Pi r)/r, dy/dt = -x + y sin(Pi r)/r
