Description
We can use a combination of commands to construct a phase plane for a system. We'll create a phase plane for the system
(1)We'll create our phase plane by combining plots of the vector field and nullclines $y = (-1/3)x$ and $y = x$

Code
var('x y')
vec = vector([x + 3*y, x - y])
mag = sqrt(vec[0]^2 + vec[1]^2)
p = plot_vector_field(vec/mag, (x, -5, 5), (y, -5, 5))
p += plot((-1/3)*x, (x, -6, 6)) + plot(x, (x, -6, 6), color='red')
p.show(xmin=-5, xmax=5, ymin=-5, ymax=5)Options
Adding a Solution Curve
We can add a solution curve to our plot to see how a solution behaves under given initial conditions, using the desolve_system method. Be careful when adding a solution curve, as it may affect the bounds of the graph; you can easily remedy this by setting xmin, xmax, ymin or ymax as necessary when calling .show().
While we’re at it, if we know the straightline solutions, we may add those as well:
Code
var('t')
x = function('x')(t)
y = function('y')(t)
de1 = diff(x, t) == x + 3*y
de2 = diff(y, t) == x - y
sols = desolve_system([de1, de2], vars=[x, y], ivar=t, ics=[0, 1, 3])
curve = vector([sols[0].rhs(), sols[1].rhs()])
var('x y')
vec = vector([x + 3*y, x - y])
mag = sqrt(vec[0]^2 + vec[1]^2)
p = plot_vector_field(vec/mag, (x, -5, 5), (y, -5, 5))
p += plot((-1/3)*x, (x, -6, 6)) + plot(x, (x, -6, 6), color='red')
p += parametric_plot(curve, (t, 0, 10), color='green')
p.show(xmin=-5, xmax=5, ymin=-5, ymax=5)var('t')
x = function('x')(t)
y = function('y')(t)
de1 = diff(x, t) == x + 3*y
de2 = diff(y, t) == x - y
sols = desolve_system([de1, de2], vars=[x, y], ivar=t, ics=[0, 1, 3])
curve = vector([sols[0].rhs(), sols[1].rhs()])
var('x y')
vec = vector([x + 3*y, x - y])
mag = sqrt(vec[0]^2 + vec[1]^2)
p = plot_vector_field(vec/mag, (x, -5, 5), (y, -5, 5))
p += plot((-1/3)*x, (x, -6, 6)) + plot(x, (x, -6, 6), color='red')
p += parametric_plot(curve, (t, 0, 10), color='green')
p += plot(-x, (x, -6, 6), color='purple') + plot((1/3)*x, (x, -6, 6), color='purple')
p.show(xmin=-5, xmax=5, ymin=-5, ymax=5)Tags
