L.A.S.

Basin of attraction:

( 0 , ) 2 and

positive y-axis

Every soln. on the positive x-axis is unbounded and tends to (∞,0).

C 2 ( β 1 A 1 )> C 1 ( γ 2 A 2 )

Repeller

Saddle

Its stable manifold:

Positive y-axis

Every soln. in ( 0 , ) 2 or on the positive x-axis is unbounded and tends to (∞,0) or (∞,c), c>0.

C 2 ( β 1 A 1 )= C 1 ( γ 2 A 2 )

  

There exist infinitely many equilibria along the horizontal line y= β 1 A 1 C 1 .
