we consider the following model:
{ x = x ( 4 x y ) y = y ( 2 + 2 α y α x )
a) Find the critical point P does not depend on α and having coordinates strictly positive.
-> The critical points are: ( 0 , 0 ) , ( 0 , 2 + 2 α ) , ( 2 , 2 ) , ( 4 , 0 ) then P = ( 2 , 2 )
b) Assuming d y d x ,solve the system for the value α 0 of α and such that P is not hyperbolic,
Draw the phase portrait for α = α 0
c) what is the nature of P for 0 < α < α 0 and α 0 < α, Draw the shape of the phase portraits for these values ​​of α
Can someone tell me how to solve b), why they use d y d x ?

For system of the shape
{ x = f ( x , y ) y = g ( x , y )
If one had a solution such one could write y ( t ) = y ~ ( x ( t ) ) then one would have that
d y d t = d y ~ d x d x d t
So, with an abuse of notation one writes
d y d x = d y d t d x d t = f ( x , y ) g ( x , y )
So assumming d y d x could simply mean that g ( x , y ) 0 for a solution, and thus the previous is well defined. With this trick you turn a PDE into a ODE (provided the above works). Now you have a fraction of polynomial, which maybe you can integrate and get something nice, hence they say''solve''.
