Consider the nonlinear second-order differential
equation 4x"+4x'+2(k^2)(x^2)− 1/2 =0, where k > 0 is a constant.
Answer to the following questions.
(a) Show that there is no periodic solution in a simply connected
region R={(x,y) ∈ R2 | x <0}. (Hint: Use the corollary to
Theorem 11.5.1>>
If symply connected region R either contains no critical points of
plane autonomous system or contains a single saddle point, then
there are no periodic solutions. )
(b) Derive a plane autonomous system from the given equation and
find all the critical points.
(c) Classify(discriminate/categorize) all the critical points into
one of the three categories: {stable / saddle / unstable(not
saddle)}.
