Abstract:
F. Gesmundo and F. Viani have modeled the growth rates of two-oxide scales by the system: \[ \frac {{d{q_1}}}{{dt}} = m\frac {{{K_1}}}{{2{q_1}}} - \frac {{m - 1}}{m} \frac {{{K_2}}}{{2{q_2}}},\qquad \frac {{d{q_2}}}{{dt}} = - m\frac {{{K_1}}}{{2{q_1}}} + \frac {{{K_2}}}{{2{q_2}}}.\] We provide a complete qualitative analysis of (1.1) by making use of known results about the general n-dimensional dynamical system: \[ \frac {{d{p_i}}}{{dt}} = - \sum \limits _{j = 1}^n {\frac {{{a_{ij}}}}{{{p_j}}},\quad {p_i}(t) > 0,\qquad i = 1, \ldots ,n.} \] We show that for $m > 1$, the Gesmundo-Viani system admits a unique parabolic solution ${q_i}(t) = {c_i}\sqrt t ,{c_i} > 0$. This parabolic solution attracts all other solutions. Every solution extends uniquely to a solution on $[0, + \infty )$, such that the extended solution is eventually monotonically increasing. Finally, the trajectory of any solution coincides with a trajectory of the following linear system: \[ \frac {{d{q_1}}}{{dt}} = - \frac {{m - 1}}{m}{\mkern 1mu} \frac {{{K_2}}}{2}{q_1} + m\frac {{{K_2}}}{2}{q_2},\qquad \frac {{d{q_2}}}{{dt}} = \frac {{{K_2}}}{2}{q_1} + m\frac {{{K_1}}}{2}{q_2}.\]References
