Two-eyed monster#

The system of ODEs

\begin{array}{r} \begin{aligned} \dot{x} & = y + y^{2} \\ \dot{y} & = 0.5 x + 0.2 y - x y + 1.2 y^{2} \end{aligned} \end{array}

is called the “two-eyed monster.”

Static phase portrait#

Problem Statement. Consider the “two-eyed monster” system of ODEs.

(a) Plot the phase portrait of the ODE system with the initial conditions of the equidistant grid of points in $(x, y) \in [- 5, 3] \times [- 3, 2]$ with $Δ x = Δ y = 0.5$ from times $t \in [0, 100]$ .

(b) Plot the phase portrait of the ODE system with the initial conditions (x, y) of

[0.01, 0], [-1, -3], [-3, -2], [-2, -3], [1, -3], [-3, 0], [-3, -1]

with $Δ x = Δ y = 0.5$ for times $t \in [0, 100]$ .
