1. Phase plane tools

This page describes the phase plane toolbox in PyDSTool/Toolbox/phaseplane.py, but is under construction. An extensive discussion of the algorithms used are currently missing, but in the meantime the code is fairly well commented and the API documentation is detailed. A couple of appropriately named examples are also present in the tests directory.

1.1. Classes defined

• phaseplane

• fixedpoint_nD

• fixedpoint_2D

• distance_to_pointset

• mesh_patch_2D

• dx_scaled_2D

1.2. Functions defined

• find_nullclines

• find_saddle_manifolds

• find_isochrons (coming soon)

• find_fixedpoints (= find_steadystates = find_equilibria)

• make_distance_to_line_auxfn

• make_distance_to_known_line_auxfn

• find_period

• make_flow_normal_event

• perp
