    MHB Bifurcations, steady states, model analysis

    $N_{t + 1} =\begin{cases}rN_t^{1 - b}, & N_t > K\\ rN_t, & N_t < K \end{cases}$The steady states are when $N_{t + 1} = N_t = N_*$. $$ N_{*} =\begin{cases}rN_*^{1 - b}, & N_* > K\\ rN_*, & N_* < K \end{cases} $$ So the steady states are $N_* = \sqrt[b]{r}$ and $N_* = 0$. I am not sure how to...

    MHB How can steady states be found for discrete models?

    So the book is showing an example about discrete steady states but neglected to show how the steady states were found. Here is what it has $u_{t+1}=ru_{t}(1-u_t), \quad r>0$ where we assume $0<r<1$ and we are interested in solutions $u_t>0$ Then it list the steady states $u^*=0, \quad...

    MHB Exploring Steady States for DEs: $(0,0)$ and $(1,0)$?

    Steady states for a system of nondimensionalized DEs $$ \begin{array}{lcl} \frac{du_1}{d\tau} & = & u_1(1 - u_1 - a_{12}u_2)\\ \frac{du_2}{d\tau} & = & \rho u_2(a - a_{21}u_1) \end{array} $$ So $(0,0)$ and $(1,0)$. Are there any more? If so, how did you find them?

    What fundamental force keeps a tilted top steady?

    A tilted top that would otherwise topple over can somehow not do so if it spins on an axis fast enough, but only if that axis also pivots fast enough circumferentially with respect to a "principal axis". Often conservation of angular momentum is used to predict this. But the rotational pull away...
