Sketch phase portray of $ x'' + 3x^2 + - 3 = 0 $












1












$begingroup$


I am sketching the phase portray of $ x'' + 3x^2 + - 3 = 0 $.
First of all I found the corresponding ODE system:



begin{align*}
x' = y \
y' = -3x^2 + 3
end{align*}



The critical points are (-1,0) and (1,0). However I am going to center it in the origin so I will ignore the +3, the solution is the same anyway.



I tried to use the method of linearization but I an eigenvalue of real part equals to 0 and this does not give information.



Then I tried using Liaupnov method, so I need to find a function $V(x,y)$ such that $V(0,0)=0$, $V(x,y) geq 0$ and $V'(x,y) leq 0$, this would mean that the origin is stable. However I am struggling to find such a function here. Any hints?

    None of the objects/tools you mention is needed to draw a phase portrait. One only needs to know the signs of $x'$ and $y'$, depending on the point $(x,y)$. In your case, this is direct, no?

Write the Jacobian at the critical points ${bf x}^*$



$$
J({bf x}^*) = pmatrix{0 & 1 \ -6x^* & 0}
$$



with eigenvalues $lambda^2 = -6x^*$. That means that for




${bf x}_1^* = (+1,0)$ the eigenvalues are $lambda_1^{pm} = pm i sqrt{6}$




Solution is a cycle




${bf x}_2^* = (1,0)$ the eigenvalues are $lambda_2^{pm} = pm sqrt{6}$




Solution is a saddle point. You can find the directions of the stable and unstable manifolds by calculating the eigenvectors. I will leave that part to you



Here's a sketch
