In mathematics, specifically in differential equations, an equilibrium point is a constant solution to a differential equation."equilibrium points” Maybe it is syntax but ODES change as a function of something. Change as a function of time, space, etc. etc. To find the equilibrium points of a system, simply set all the ODEs in the system equal to zero and solve for the values of the dependent variables that make this happen. On a graph an equilibrium solution looks like a horizontal line. Given a slope field, you can find equilibrium solutions by finding everywhere a horizontal line fits into the slope field. This means the slope of the tangent line of the function is horizontal, balanced and so it has a zero value of inclination. in which case the solution y(t) with initial condition y(t0) = y∗satisfies y(t) ≡ y∗(for all t). An equilibrium point of the ODE corresponds to a fixed point of the flow map, i.e. a point y∗ ∈Rd such that Φt(y∗) = y∗, ∀t > 0.Just as with single ODEs, one feature of systems that is important to study is the existence of constant solutions. Such solutions are points in the xy-plane and are referred to as either equilibrium points or critical points for the system. If the system is solved with initial conditions that start at an equilibrium point, then the solution will remain equal to the equilibrium point for all t. To find the equilibrium points of a system, simply set all the ODEs in the system equal to zero and solve for the values of the dependent variables that make this happen.

1. Combine like Terms (add things that have the same variable)

2. Distribute when needed (multiply each of the things inside the parentheses)

3. Add the additive inverse of terms to both sides.

4. Multiply by the multiplicative inverse to both sides.

Thanks a lot Prem Baboo

When studying systems of differential equations, it’s useful to explore equilibrium solutions and their behavior. Equilibrium solutions are constant solutions where the system doesn’t change over time. For a system with equations (x’ = 0) and (y’ = 0), the equilibrium solutions satisfy the algebraic equations:

[0 = ax_0 + by_0 + e] [0 = cx_0 + dy_0 + f]

Here, (x_0) and (y_0) represent the constant equilibrium solutions. The determinant of the system, (ad - bc), determines whether a unique solution exists. If the system is homogeneous (with (e = f = 0)), the origin ((x_0, y_0) = (0, 0)) is the equilibrium solution.

Next, let’s consider the behavior of solutions near equilibrium points. For example, in the system (x’ = -2x) and (y’ = -y), all solutions tend toward the equilibrium point ((0, 0)), which is called a stable node or a sink1. If you have a specific system in mind, feel free to share it, and I’ll provide more details!
