Thanks a lot again for the input. I am so glad to have asked this
question. That system was a simpler version other systems I was
working on.

What you're doing with Manipulate[] is more or less what I've been
doing except I wasn't sure if I was doing it right or not. (And as
seen with the previous example I gave, I was getting confused about
StreamPlot in general)

I was taking the RHS of the two ODEs and using the StreamPlot to get
an idea of what the solutions look like.  Not much unlike plotting
solutions in phase space (is that acceptable? based on your post, it
seems like it is...)

Except now the trajectories in that space represent the a' and b'
instead of a and b as the normal phase portraits should be(?)

Is this ok? (Does this give an hint as to the actual solutions of the
system?)

k1 and k2 are pseudo first order reaction rate constants. It can range
from 10^-3 to 10^7 or so. (for diffusion limited process)  h range
from 0 to 1.

The system above is kinda simplified... The system below behaves a bit
more interestingly.  (Let's say...k1=3, k2=7, t=50 and then...)

Manipulate[
 StreamPlot[{va - k1 (t^-h) a - k2 ( t^-h ) b,  k1 (t^-h ) a - db},
{a, -10, 10}, {b, -10, 10}], {k1, 0.01,10}, {k2, 0.01, 10}, {t, 0.1,
50}, {h, 0, 1}, {va, 0.1, 10}, {db, 0.1, 10}]


As you vary va, db, and h, you will see the center of stable attractor
shifts.

This is entirely a different post, but if I wanted to see a poincare
section of that system, will that be doable in mathematica?  Seems
Like Stephen Lynch's book uses 3 different CAs to generate the
figures. And Mathematica version doesn't have the codes for poincare
section shown in fig 8.11 b.

I'll probably start another post about it. Sometime this week...
