Constants of motion for Droop equation
There is an important ODE system in biochemistry, Droop's equations:
$$s'=1-s-\frac{sx}{a_1+s}$$
$$x'=a_2\big(1-\frac{1}{q}\big)x-x$$
$$q'=\frac{a_3s}{a_1+s}-a_2(q-1)$$
Relatively easy one finds a ...

Generalizing "variation of parameters"
I'm stuck on generalizing an ODE formula and could use your help!
One way to think about "variation of parameters" is that it bakes the solution $z(t)=e^{At}z_0$ of $z'=Az$ (here $z(t)\in\mathbb{R}^n$...

Symplectic forms and sign of eigenvalues
This question has come out while reading J. Moser "New Aspects in the Theory of Stability
of Hamiltonian Systems". I'm particularly interested to the Appendix, where one investigates the stability of ...
