Consider the system of equationsdx/dt = y xf(x, y), dy/dt

Chapter 9, Problem 5

(choose chapter or problem)

Consider the system of equationsdx/dt = y xf(x, y), dy/dt = x yf(x, y),where f is continuous and has continuous first partial derivatives. Show that if f(x, y) > 0in some neighborhood of the origin, then the origin is an asymptotically stable criticalpoint, and that if f(x, y) < 0 in some neighborhood of the origin, then the origin is anunstable critical point.Hint: Construct a Liapunov function of the form c(x2 + y2).
