Specifying equation under variable transformation

In summary, The appropriate way to specify the equation is invariant is by verifying it using new coordinates and checking if they satisfy the same equations as the old coordinates. In this case, the claimed invariance is (x,y,z)→(-x,-y,z) and verifying it involves defining X=-x, Y=-y, and Z=z. Additionally, the integration of the equations provided is incorrect as it did not take into account the dependence of x,y,z on t.

Homework Statement


For the following dynamical system in the attached picture
What is the appropriate way to specify the equation is invariant? Thanks in advance.

Homework Equations



No relevant equations

The Attempt at a Solution



Firstly I integrated each of the three equations and the results
x = 10yt - 10xt- -①
y = rxt - yt - xzt -②
z = xyt - 8/3(zt) -③

From equation ③, I got z = (txy)/ (1 + 8/3t) and
then, I substitute the equation of z into the equation ②. Until this point, am I doing it right?

The most straightforward way to verify an invariance is by defining new coordinates and checking that the new variables satisfy the same equations as the old variables. Since the claimed invariance is [itex](x,y,z)\rightarrow (-x,-y,z)[/itex], you should define

[itex] X = -x, ~ Y=-y,~Z=z.[/itex]

As an aside, your integration of the equations is incorrect. Since the [itex]x,y,z[/itex] are functions of [itex]t[/itex], solving the differential equations is more complicated than what you've done, which ignored this dependence.
 

FAQ: Specifying equation under variable transformation

What is the purpose of specifying an equation under variable transformation?

Specifying an equation under variable transformation allows us to convert the original equation into a more manageable form, making it easier to analyze and understand the relationship between variables.

How do you specify an equation under variable transformation?

To specify an equation under variable transformation, we first identify the variables in the original equation and determine the type of transformation needed (e.g. logarithmic, exponential, etc.). Then, we apply the appropriate transformation to each variable and rewrite the equation in its new form.

What are some common types of variable transformations used in equations?

Some common types of variable transformations used in equations include logarithmic, exponential, power, and polynomial transformations. These transformations help to simplify the equation and reveal the underlying relationship between variables.

Why is it important to specify an equation under variable transformation?

Specifying an equation under variable transformation is important because it allows us to better understand the relationship between variables and make accurate predictions and interpretations. It also helps to identify any non-linear relationships that may not be apparent in the original form of the equation.

Are there any limitations to specifying an equation under variable transformation?

While specifying an equation under variable transformation can be useful, it is important to note that it may not always be appropriate or necessary. Some transformations can distort the original data and may not accurately represent the relationship between variables. It is important to carefully consider the data and the purpose of the analysis before applying a transformation.
