A \emph{dynamical system} on $X$ where $X$ is an open subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$ is a differentiable map A \emph{dynamical system} on $X$ where $X$ is an open subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$ is a differentiable map
$$\phi: \mathbb{R}\times X \to X$$ $$\phi: \mathbb{R}\times X \to X$$
where where
$$\phi (t,\mathbf{x}) = \phi_t (\mathbf{x})$$ $$\phi (t,\mathbf{x}) = \phi_t (\mathbf{x})$$
satisfies satisfies
\begin{itemize} \begin{itemize}
\item[i] $\phi_0(\mathbf{x}) = \mathbf{x}$ for all $\mathbf{x}\in X$ \textit{(the identity function)} \item[i] $\phi_0(\mathbf{x}) = \mathbf{x}$ for all $\mathbf{x}\in X$ \textit{(the identity function)}
\item[ii] $\phi_t \circ \phi_s (\mathbf{x}) = \phi_{t+s}(\mathbf{x})$ for all $s,t \in \mathbb{R}$ \textit{(composition)} \item[ii] $\phi_t \circ \phi_s (\mathbf{x}) = \phi_{t+s}(\mathbf{x})$ for all $s,t \in \mathbb{R}$ \textit{(composition)}

Note that a \emph{planar dynamical system} is the same definition as above but with $X$ an open subset of $\mathbb{R}^2$. Note that a \emph{planar dynamical system} is the same definition as above but with $X$ an open subset of $\mathbb{R}^2$.
