Using , in the original autonomous planar system gives
The map is a rotation by , preserving time and the clockwise or counterclockwise orientation of trajectories. Hence the given centre equilibrium at becomes a clockwise centre at , and the given saddle equilibrium at becomes a saddle at . These are the only equilibrium points, because rotation is invertible.
