Compute the flow $Phi_t$ of $mathbb{X}(x,y)=(y,x)$

Let $mathbb{X}$ be the vector field on $mathbb{R}^2$ given by $$ mathbb{X}(x,y) = (y,x). $$ Compute the flow $Phi_t$ of
$mathbb{X}$



I was reading through an answer on math.stackexchange entitled "Finding the flow of a pushforward of vector field" and the first part of his problem was this question.



The solution he gave was $Phi_t(x,y)=(frac{x+y}{2}e^t+frac{y-x}{2}e^{-t},frac{x+y}{2}e^t +frac{x-y}{2}e^{-t})$



My understanding is that to calculate the flow, you consider: $Phi_t(x,y)=(dot{x},dot{y})=(y,x)$ and try to solve.



Why cant the flow be $Phi(x,y)=((y-x)e^{-t},(x-y)e^{-t})$?



It is probably a problem with definitions, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

          No, it is not a problem with definition.



          Hint. The flow of the linear vector field $Az$ is given by its matrix exponent $e^{tA}z$. In your case
          $$
          A=begin{bmatrix}
          0&1\
          1&0
          end{bmatrix}
          $$
          and $z=(x,y)^top$. Hence you need to calculate
          $$
          e^{tA}
          $$
          and see the result.



          Addition.



          There are different methods to calculate $e^{tA}$, but here I can use simply the defintion
          $$
          e^{tA}=I+tA+frac{t^2}{2!}A^2+ldots
          $$
          Simply by noting that $A^2=I$ I find
          $$
          e^{tA}=begin{bmatrix}
          1+frac{t^2}{2!}+frac{t^4}{4!}+ldots& t+frac{t^3}{3!}+ldots\
          t+frac{t^3}{3!}+ldots&1+frac{t^2}{2!}+frac{t^4}{4!}+ldots
          end{bmatrix}=begin{bmatrix}
          cosh t&sinh t\
          sinh t&cosh t
          end{bmatrix},
          $$
          where, as usual,
          $$
          cosh t=frac{e^t+e^{-t}}{2},quad sinh t=frac{e^t-e^{-t}}{2}.
          $$
          Now you can see you flow by multiplying $e^{tA}$ by the vector of initial conditions.

            Another hint to see where you are a little confused: not every solution to the system of ODE will give you the flow. Only those, where you can simply replace two arbitrary constants with two initial conditions.

            @Dansmith I am not sure that I can give you an ultimate reference. The flows of linear constant coefficients vector fields are linear transformation groups defined simply by $e^{tA}$. There is not much to learn here. Try Arnold's ODE, if you can get through his deceivably easy-to-understand writings, you will learn the general theory of flows, transformation groups, and vector fieleds.

          Another way to see this result without needing to use the exponential map is the following:



          For $Y = xfrac{partial}{partial y} + yfrac{partial}{ partial x}$ we obtain the differential equations $x'(t) = y$ and $y'(t) = x$. We note that differentiating either of the equations gives us that $y''(t)=y(t)$ and similarly for $x(t)$. We know that the general solution to each of these equations is $y(t)= d_1e^t +d_2e^{-t}$ and $x(t) = c_1e^t +c_2e^{-t}$. Now our global flow must satisfy $x(0)=y$ and $y(0)=x$, and thus we impose the conditions that $c_1 +c_2 =y$ and $d_1+d_2 =x$. Now given that $x'(t) = y(t)$ we have the following relationship between coefficients: $c_1=d_1$ and $c_2 =-d_2$. Plugging these in to the system of equations above and solving for $c_1$ and $c_2$ we obtain that $c_1 = frac{x+y}{2}$, and $c_2 = frac{y-x}{2}$. Thus our flow becomes $theta_t(x, y) = (frac{x+y}{2}e^t + frac{y-x}{2}e^{-t}, frac{x+y}{2}e^t-frac{y-x}{2}e^{-t})$.

            There are different methods to calculate $e^{tA}$, but here I can use simply the defintion
            $$
            e^{tA}=I+tA+frac{t^2}{2!}A^2+ldots
            $$
            Simply by noting that $A^2=I$ I find
            $$
            e^{tA}=begin{bmatrix}
            1+frac{t^2}{2!}+frac{t^4}{4!}+ldots& t+frac{t^3}{3!}+ldots\
            t+frac{t^3}{3!}+ldots&1+frac{t^2}{2!}+frac{t^4}{4!}+ldots
            end{bmatrix}=begin{bmatrix}
            cosh t&sinh t\
            sinh t&cosh t
            end{bmatrix},
            $$
            where, as usual,
            $$
            cosh t=frac{e^t+e^{-t}}{2},quad sinh t=frac{e^t-e^{-t}}{2}.
            $$
            Now you can see you flow by multiplying $e^{tA}$ by the vector of initial conditions.

            No, it is not a problem with definition.



            Hint. The flow of the linear vector field $Az$ is given by its matrix exponent $e^{tA}z$. In your case
            $$
            A=begin{bmatrix}
            0&1\
            1&0
            end{bmatrix}
            $$
            and $z=(x,y)^top$. Hence you need to calculate
            $$
            e^{tA}
            $$
            and see the result.



            Addition.



            There are different methods to calculate $e^{tA}$, but here I can use simply the defintion
            $$
            e^{tA}=I+tA+frac{t^2}{2!}A^2+ldots
            $$
            Simply by noting that $A^2=I$ I find
            $$
            e^{tA}=begin{bmatrix}
            1+frac{t^2}{2!}+frac{t^4}{4!}+ldots& t+frac{t^3}{3!}+ldots\
            t+frac{t^3}{3!}+ldots&1+frac{t^2}{2!}+frac{t^4}{4!}+ldots
            end{bmatrix}=begin{bmatrix}
            cosh t&sinh t\
            sinh t&cosh t
            end{bmatrix},
            $$
            where, as usual,
            $$
            cosh t=frac{e^t+e^{-t}}{2},quad sinh t=frac{e^t-e^{-t}}{2}.
            $$
            Now you can see you flow by multiplying $e^{tA}$ by the vector of initial conditions.

              Another hint to see where you are a little confused: not every solution to the system of ODE will give you the flow. Only those, where you can simply replace two arbitrary constants with two initial conditions.

              @Dansmith I am not sure that I can give you an ultimate reference. The flows of linear constant coefficients vector fields are linear transformation groups defined simply by $e^{tA}$. There is not much to learn here. Try Arnold's ODE, if you can get through his deceivably easy-to-understand writings, you will learn the general theory of flows, transformation groups, and vector fieleds.

            Another way to see this result without needing to use the exponential map is the following:



            For $Y = xfrac{partial}{partial y} + yfrac{partial}{ partial x}$ we obtain the differential equations $x'(t) = y$ and $y'(t) = x$. We note that differentiating either of the equations gives us that $y''(t)=y(t)$ and similarly for $x(t)$. We know that the general solution to each of these equations is $y(t)= d_1e^t +d_2e^{-t}$ and $x(t) = c_1e^t +c_2e^{-t}$. Now our global flow must satisfy $x(0)=y$ and $y(0)=x$, and thus we impose the conditions that $c_1 +c_2 =y$ and $d_1+d_2 =x$. Now given that $x'(t) = y(t)$ we have the following relationship between coefficients: $c_1=d_1$ and $c_2 =-d_2$. Plugging these in to the system of equations above and solving for $c_1$ and $c_2$ we obtain that $c_1 = frac{x+y}{2}$, and $c_2 = frac{y-x}{2}$. Thus our flow becomes $theta_t(x, y) = (frac{x+y}{2}e^t + frac{y-x}{2}e^{-t}, frac{x+y}{2}e^t-frac{y-x}{2}e^{-t})$.

                    How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

                    3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question
