Nodal Point:
Consider eigen values are real, distinct and negative as shown in figure (a). For this case the equation

Saddle Point:
Consider now a system with eigen values are real, distinct one positive and one negative. Here, one
of the states corresponding to the negative eigen value converges and the one corresponding to
positive eigen value diverges so that the trajectories are given by z2 = c(z1)-k1 or (z1)kz2 = c which is
an equation to a rectangular hyperbola for positive values of k. The location of the eigen values, the
phase portrait in z1 – z2 plane and in the x1 – x2 plane are as shown in figure. The equilibrium point
around which the trajectories are of this type is called a saddle point.

Centre or Vortex Point:
Consider now the case of complex conjugate eigen values
with zero real parts.

Let the state equations for a nonlinear
system be in the form
x1 f1 ( x1 , x2 )
.
x2 f 2 ( x1 , x2 )
slope of trajector y is given by
dx2 f (x , x )

dx1 f1 ( x1 , x2 )
f 2 ( x1 , x2 ) Mf1 ( x1 , x2 )
Isoclines are lines in the phase plane correspond ing
to slope of phase portrait.
The above equation gives the equation t o the family of isoclines.
For different values of M, the slope of the trajector y,
different isoclines can be drawn in the phase plane.
• Assume that initial conditions are such that initial point is located at A on isocline 1.
• Two lines are drawn from A, one with slope M1 other with slope M2 intersecting isocline 2 at
a and b.
