In Problems 1–7, convert the given initial value problem into an initial value problem for a system in normal form.
In Problems 3–6, find the critical point set for the given system.
Feedback System with Pooling Delay. Many physical and biological systems involve time delays. A pure time delay has its output the same as its input but shifted in time. A more common type of delay is pooling delay. An example of such a feedback system is shown in Figure 5.3 on page 251. Here the level of fluid in tank B determines the rate at which fluid enters tank A. Suppose this rate is given by where and V are positive constants and is the volume of fluid in tank B at time t.

b. Find a general solution for the system in part (a) when and .
c. Using the general solution obtained in part (b), what can be said about the volume of fluid in each of the tanks as ?
The doubling modulo \({\bf{1}}\) map defined by the equation \(\left( {\bf{9}} \right)\)exhibits some fascinating behavior. Compute the sequence obtained when
Numbers of the form \({\bf{k/}}{{\bf{2}}^{\bf{j}}}\) are called dyadic numbers and are dense in \(\left( {{\bf{0,1}}} \right){\bf{.}}\)That is, there is a dyadic number arbitrarily close to any real number (rational or irrational).
