Figure 5

Numerically generated phase planes of the dynamical system. (a) The stable orbit and superimposed vector field demonstrated in the phase plane suggest the presence of an asymptotically stable equilibrium. (b) The 3D plot depicts the evolution of the stable orbit with respect to dimensionless time as further evidence of sustained stable oscillations. Refer to Section 2.4 for more information about physically unstable situations.
