Short Answer

Consider a dynamical system x(t+1)=Ax(t) with two components. The accompanying sketch shows the initial state vector x0 and two eigen vectors υ1andυ2 of A (with eigen values λ1 and λ2 respectively). For the given values of λ1 and λ2 , draw a rough trajectory. Consider the future and the past of the system.

λ1=1,λ2=0.9

So, the required solution is Atx0=αυ1+0.9tβυ2.

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Define the eigenvector

Eigenvector: An eigenvector ofA is a nonzero vector v in Rn such that Av=λv , for some scalar λ.

Step 2: Note the given data

It is given that:

λ1=1,λ2=0.9

Given graph is:

Step 3: Finding the required solution

We have:

Aυ1=υ1Aυ2=0.9υ2

For x0=αυ1+βυ2 ,We have:

role="math" localid="1668079897383" Ax0=A(αυ1+βυ2) =αAυ1+βAυ2 =αυ1+0.9βυ2

Therefore, Atx0=αυ1+0.9tβυ2.

Hence, the solutions is Atx0=αυ1+0.9tβυ2.
