Dynamical Systems | Part II, 2011

Find the fixed points of the dynamical system (with μ0\mu \neq 0 )

x˙=μ2xxyy˙=y+x2\begin{aligned} &\dot{x}=\mu^{2} x-x y \\ &\dot{y}=-y+x^{2} \end{aligned}

and determine their type as a function of μ\mu.

Find the stable and unstable manifolds of the origin correct to order 4.4 .
