Chapter 3.2, Problem 1E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

All the qualitatively different vector fields for x˙ = rx + x2 that occur as r varied are to be sketched and a point at which transcritical bifurcation occurs is to be determined. Also, the bifurcation diagram of fixed points x*vs r is to be sketched.

Concept Introduction:

The qualitative change in the dynamics of the flow with parameters is called bifurcation and the points at which this occurs is called bifurcation points.

The stability of the dynamical systems can be studied using bifurcation.

Transcritical bifurcation is one of the bifurcation mechanism in which two fixed points exchange their stability instead of destroying.

In the transcritical bifurcation, fixed points exist for all values of the parameter.

In this exercise, we will investigate a technique to prove that a language is notregular. This tool is called the pumping lemma.The pumping lemma says that if M = (S, I, f, s0, F ) is a DFA with p states (i.e., p = |S|) and if the wordw is in L(M ) (the language generated by M ) and w has length greater than or equal to p, then w may bedivided into three pieces, w = xyz, satisfying the following conditions:1. For each i ∈ N, xy^i z ∈ L(M ).2. |y| > 0 (i.e., y contains at least one character).3. |xy| ≤ p (i.e., the string xy has at most p characters).   Use the pumping lemma to show the following language is not regular (HINT: Use proof by contradictionto assume the language is regular and apply the pumping lemma to the language):L = {0^k1^k | k ∈ N}
A prefix of length ℓ of some word w are the first ℓ characters (in order) of w.1. Construct a context-free grammar for the language: L = {w ∈ {a, b}∗ | every prefix of w has at least as many a’s as b’s}2. Explain why every word generated by your context-free grammar (in Part 1) is contained in L. Then,prove via induction that every w ∈ L is produced by your context-free grammar.
Consider a simplified version of American football where on any possession ateam can earn 0, 3 or 7 points. What is the smallest number n0 of points such that for all n ≥ n0 and n ∈ Na team could earn n points. You must prove that your answer is correct via induction (HINT: Don’t forgetto show that n0 is the smallest number above which any number of points is reachable).
