Stable Manifold Theorem - Stable Manifold Theorem

Stable Manifold Theorem

Let

be a smooth map with hyperbolic fixed point at p. We denote by the stable set and by the unstable set of p.

The theorem states that

  • is a smooth manifold and its tangent space has the same dimension as the stable space of the linearization of f at p.
  • is a smooth manifold and its tangent space has the same dimension as the unstable space of the linearization of f at p.

Accordingly is a stable manifold and is an unstable manifold.

Famous quotes containing the words stable, manifold and/or theorem:

    “My whole working philosophy is that the only stable happiness for mankind is that it shall live married in blessed union to woman-kind—intimacy, physical and psychical between a man and his wife. I wish to add that my state of bliss is by no means perfect.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “As one who knows many things, the humanist loves the world precisely because of its manifold nature and the opposing forces in it do not frighten him. Nothing is further from him than the desire to resolve such conflicts ... and this is precisely the mark of the humanist spirit: not to evaluate contrasts as hostility but to seek human unity, that superior unity, for all that appears irreconcilable.”
    —Stefan Zweig (18811942)

    “To insure the adoration of a theorem for any length of time, faith is not enough, a police force is needed as well.”
    —Albert Camus (1913–1960)
