Show that equilibrium point x_0=0 for the differential equation x'=0 is stable but not asymptotically stable.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The differential equation $$y'=0$$ Has the solution $$y=c$$ for any constant c,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's right..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know about your other stuff, a constant doesn't change with respect to anything, so I am not sure how its changing asymptotically

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the proof relies on e-delta method

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what chemistry :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the "equilibrium point"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh is that an ininital condition?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kinda

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if $f(0)=0$, and $f(x)=c$, then the solution is $y=0$

OpenStudy (turingtest):

I'm not sure this helps, but clearly this can't be an asymptotic equilibrium point since the derivative if the function itself is zero it can neither move towards or away from that point, hence it is not an asymptotic nor unstable equilibrium point

OpenStudy (turingtest):

oh you have to use delta-epsilon? ugh, I'm out lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you mean by the delta epsilon?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

method

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll give the definition..
