dynamical system


A dynamical systemMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath on X where X is an open subset of n is a differentiable map

ϕ:×XX

where

ϕ(t,𝐱)=ϕt(𝐱)

satisfies

  • i

    ϕ0(𝐱)=𝐱 for all 𝐱X (the identity function)

  • ii

    ϕtϕs(𝐱)=ϕt+s(𝐱) for all s,t (composition)

[HSD][PL]

Note that a planar dynamical system is the same definition as above but with X an open subset of 2.
