1. This will be familiar to those who attend class. Consider the oscillator described by the ordinary differential equation (ODE) below for the quantity x(t). This type of oscillator has wide applicability to topics such as blood flow in the aorta and oscillations in electronic devices. x + µx (x² − x² ) + 2x = 0. - Here, x is the dependent variable and the time t is the independent variable. The quantities μ, xo and w are all constants and the dot notation refers to derivatives with respect to time. Note that if μ = 0 you get the differential equation for a simple harmonic oscillator, familiar to you from introductory physics. a) Solve this equation by finding x(t) using the techniques discussed in class and for the initial conditions x = 0.5 and x = 0. Use μ = 0.1, x2: = 1 and w 1 for the constants. Construct 2 plots in a single "canvas" (using the subplot method we have seen). The first plot is displacement x versus time t and the second is i versus x (along the horizontal axis). Make the time span long enough so that the initial behavior of the oscillator disappears and its steady state becomes apparent. Maybe something like [0,200]. The first subplot plot should have "Time" labeled along the x-axis and "Position" along the y-axis. This first subplot should be titled "Position versus Time". Finally, the plot will look a bit better if you make its width larger than its height since you want a long time span. Perhaps plt.figure(figsize=(10, 6)) will suffice at the appropriate spot in your code. The second subplot should be labeled "Position" along the x-axis and "Velocity" along the y-axis. This type of useful plot is called a "phase space" plot. Title it, what else, "Phase Space". This plot should have the same "aspect ratio" as the first. 1 b) Repeat making the 2 plots but alter μ to μ = -0.02. Leave the other constants unchanged. Label the new subplot pair as above. Note the difference in the shape of both these plots. You should see that the plots start with the same initial displacement, namely 0.5. Do you agree? Actually look at the plots and do not just merely burp out "yes."
