that point and unstable if the derivative is positive at that point.

Step 2/8

There are many nonlinear !rst order differential equations derived for
dynamical situations in economics which cannot be solved explicitly as a
function of time. As an alternative it is possible to conduct qualitative
analysis for such equations with the help of phase diagram of that
equation. The phase diagram analysis is a method to illustrate steady
states of a differential equation and the behaviour of the solutions around
the steady states. The phase diagram of an equation is its graph having
values of y along horizontal axis and values of are shown along vertical
axis.

Any point where the phase diagram (graph) intersects the horizontal axis
is called the steady state solution of given differential equation. The
stability of the obtained solution can be analyzed in two ways: (1) by
arrows of motion, and (2) by using stability theorem.

Step 3/8

Results of application of Phase diagram and Theorem of Stability

Stability with Arrows of Motion: At the point where the graph of the

equation is above the horizontal axis, is positive and


therefore y is increasing, and at the point where graph of equation

is below the horizontal axis, is negative and therefore y is


decreasing.

To illustrate the behaviour of y, the arrows can be added along the


horizontal axis. The arrows will point to the right on any segment for
which the graph is above the axis and to the left on the segment for
which the graph is below the horizontal axis. The point at which arrows
from both sides point into it is the stable steady state (stable equilibrium)
point and the point from which arrows go outward is the point of
unstable state or unstable equilibrium.

Stability using Stability Theorem: Calculate the slope of the tangent to


the curve (phase diagram) at any point .

If slope of tangent at point , , the equilibrium at point


is stable.

If slope of tangent at point , , the equilibrium at point


is unstable.

Step 4/8

The objective is to draw phase diagram for the equation


and to conduct the qualitative analysis of the equation.

The steady state solution/s is obtained by setting and solving it


further algebraically as:

Then,

Thus and are the steady state solutions of the given


differential equation. At these points the phase diagram intersects
horizontal axis.

Step 5/8

Now, determine critical point by setting and check whether the


critical point is a maximum or minimum.

Then,

So, is the critical point.

Step 6/8

Further, since . Therefore, at point there is relative


minimum. The phase diagram of the equation is shown in !gure here.

From the Motion of Arrows:

The arrows move into point , therefore, the equilibrium at is

stable. The arrows move out of the point , therefore, the equilibrium

at is unstable.

Step 7/8

From the theorem of stability:
