For example, negative f(x 0 , y 0 )and positive g(x 0 , y 0 ) imply that x(t) decreases and y(t) increases at this particularpoint. Since each point on the phase plane (x, y) has its own vector (f, g), the systemabove is said to define a vector field on the plane, also known as direction field or velocityfield, see Fig. 4.3. Thus, the vector field defines the direction of motion; depending onwhere you are, it tells you where you are going.Let us consider a few examples. The two-dimensional systemẋ = 1 ,ẏ = 0defines a constant horizontal vector field in Fig. 4.3a since each point has a horizontalvector (1, 0) attached to it. (Of course, we depict only a small sample of vectors.)Similarly, the systemẋ = 0 ,ẏ = 1
