Orbits and Phase Portraits in Dynamics

Definition 1

O(x0):={xX:x=φtx0,tT} O \left( x_{0} \right) := \left\{ x \in X : x = \varphi^{t} x_{0} , \forall t \in T \right\} In the dynamical system given by (T,X,φt)\left( T, X, \varphi^{t} \right), let’s denote the orbit of x0Xx_{0} \in X as shown above. The partition of XX consisting of orbits is called the Phase Portrait of the dynamical system.
