Properties in the large of quadratic systems in the plane (Q584490)

It is shown that any quadratic system with a singular point of the form \[ dx/dt=\sum_{0\leq i+j\leq 2}a_{ij}x^ iy^ j,\quad dy/dt=\sum_{0\leq i+j\leq 2}b_{ij}x^ iy^ j \] is affine-equivalent to \[ (E_ 1)\quad \dot x=-y+ax^ 2+bxy,\quad \dot y=\epsilon x+\delta y+\ell x^ 2+mxy+ny^ 2 \] where \(\epsilon =0\), 1 or -1, or \[ (E_ 2)\quad \dot x=cx+ax^ 2+bxy,\quad \dot y=\lambda x+\delta y+\ell x^ 2+mxy+ny^ 2. \] Necessary and sufficient conditions are then given for which the system \((E_ 1)\) or \((E_ 2)\) is bounded for \(t\geq 0\) or has precisely one monotone unbounded orbit for \(t\geq 0\).
