Time reversal of an autonomous differential equation

ID: time-reversal-of-an-autonomous-differential-equation

If solves an autonomous differential equation, solves the equation with negated vector field. The trajectories and equilibrium points stay in place but their orientations reverse; stable and unstable directions interchange. A saddle equilibrium remains a saddle, and a clockwise centre equilibrium becomes counterclockwise.
