Integral curves

Only at the end of the 19th century did the first attempt to approach this subject systematically appear. In fact, Poincar6 became interested in certain problems in celestial mechanics,1 and this resulted in the famous small parameters method of which we shall speak in Part II of this chapter. In another earlier work2 Poincar6 investigated also certain properties of integral curves defined by ike differential equations of the nearly-linear class. 

Phase Plane Singular Points.—We shall define the plane of the variables (x,y = x) as the phase plane and investigate the behavior of integral curves (or characteristics) in that plane by means of Eq. (6-2). In case we wish to associate with these curves the motion of the representative point R(x,y), we shall rather speak of them as trajectories and in this case one has to use Eq. (6-1). 

Among integral curves (trajectories) we shall be particularly interested in those that are closed, which thus represent periodic... 

To a given closed integral curve C corresponds an infinity of trajectories (or motions) differing from each other by arbitrary constants t0. We recall the two definitions ...

Poincar6-Bendixson (P.B.) Theorem.—This theorem gives the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a cycle. Unfortunately, it requires a preliminary knowledge of the character of integral curves, which often makes its application difficult. The theorem states ... 

This gives a simple graphical construction of integral curves. Suppose we wish to carry out this construction for the van der Pol equation for which f(x) = x2 — 1 F(x) = /3 — x. 

Having constructed a field of lineal elements, one can easily trace the integral curves themselves. Amdng the family of these curves there is... 

For the investigation of the velocity of B on these integral curves, it is sufficient to apply the same transformation y = pz, which gives ...

Hence, it is possible to measure accurately the integration curve given out by the combined C-l, and C-2 glyceride methylene protons that occurs almost separately at 4. Now, employing these as an internal calibration one may determine conveniently the following two vital informations, such as ... 

In a binary A-B system, from the graph of the integral quantity vs. composition, the partial values may be obtained, for each composition z, from the intercepts on the A and B axes of the tangent, at the composition z, to the integral curve. The construction is very simple in the special case that, in a certain range of compositions, the curve of the integral quantity is close to a straight line. 

First, we estimated the parameters a to be 0.01 and 8 to be 0.05. For the estimation of the standard deviation of the DP values, twenty chromatograms of NBS 706 polystyrene were measured and elution volumes at the distinguished per cent points of the integral curve of each chromatogram were calculated. Then, the value a was obtained to be 0.042 mL. The value 6 was estimated to be 0.1 mL, which corresponds to 0.3 % of the elution volume at the center of the calibration curve of this SEC system and 5 % difference of molecular weight. 

The effect of the heat loss factor (0), on peak shape is small but the magnitude of the signal varies inversely as () although, this is not apparent in figure (8), as all curves are normalized. It should also be noted that for low values of (p), where the maximum sensitivity is realized the peak maximum is displaced. However, for large values of (p), the maximum of the integral curves for (Ca=1), is almost coincident with the maximum of the elution curve. 

Following the reduction of acetone in isopropanol by means of a hydride the H NMR spectrum of the crude, isolated product reveals that the reaction has not completed. The integration curve of the remaining acetone corresponds to... 

From the H NMR spectrum below, which corresponds to a mixture of bromobenzene, dichloromethane and iodoethane, calculate the percentage composition of the three components. The values (without units) given in brackets on the integration curve are proportional to the areas of the corresponding signals. 

The second type includes, for example, the problem investigated by Gud-erley (cited in [4]) of convergence of a cylindrical shock wave to a line, or of a spherical wave to a point. In this case, just finding the exponent requires integration of ordinary differential equations. The exponent is found from the condition that the integral curve passes through a singular point without this it is impossible to satisfy the boundary conditions. 

We note that the envelopes of the family (see Fig. 1) of curves yield the limits of self-ignition, and thus serve as an illustration of Frank-Kamenet-skii s theory. Indeed, if we place two walls of temperature 60 at the points A and Ax, we find two steady regimes. No steady regime corresponds to a distance C — Cx between the walls. Finally, B — Bx is a limiting distance, the limiting diameter of a plane-parallel vessel at the given temperature 80, with B and B1 located on the envelopes of the integral curves of the family under consideration. 

It is curious that by considering one isolated integral curve (Fig. 3), it would be difficult to establish the fact that for a constant maximum tem-...
