Sorry I wasn't clear. I am looking for all of the solutions where the system is equal to zero. [0 [equation for the derivatives dP1 0 dP2 0 = dP3 0 dP4 0] dP5] I hope this makes things clearer.

It is not clear what you mean by "the fixed points" of a system of differential equations. Perhaps you mean the equilibrium/critical points?? ----- Selwyn Hollis http://www.math.armstrong.edu/faculty/hollis On Wednesday, July 30, 2003, at 07:31 PM, Katherine Gurdziel wrote: > I am trying to isolate the fixed points for five differential > equations that > are dependent on each other.
