When considering the system



begin{cases}
x' = (A-By)x \
y' = (C-Dx)y, &
end{cases}



($A,B,C,D > 0$)



I am trying to understand how to tell that the fixed points $(0,0)$ and $(C/D,A/B)$ are unstable. If I'm not mistaken, Lyapunov functions can be used to show that a point is stable but not that it is unstable. I was thinking of finding the eigenvalues (if we consider the system as $bf{x'} = Ax$), but the eigenvalues will involve $x$ and $y$ and that hasn't happened before as I've been solving exercises, so I'm not sure if that is the way to go...

The eigenvalues will stop involving $x, y$ after we evaluate the linearization at the fixed points. Here is how.



Let's compute the linearization of the right-hand side:
$$
L(x,y) =
left[
begin{array}{ll}
A - By & -Bx\
Dy & C - Dx\
end{array}
right]
$$

Evaluating it at $(x,y) = (0,0)$, we get:
$$
L(0,0) =
left[
begin{array}{ll}
A & 0\
0 & C\
end{array}
right],
$$

so the eigenvalues are $A, C$. Since they each have a positive real part (I know, you said they are real and positive, but I am using language suitable for a more general setting), the fixed point $(x, y) = (0,0)$ is unstable.



Similarly inspect the eigenvalues of $L(C/D, A/B)$.
