In canonical coordinates, Hamilton's equations are
A function is an integral of motion if it is constant along every Hamiltonian flow, equivalently
for a time-independent . The system is an integrable Hamiltonian system when it has first integrals whose differentials are linearly independent almost everywhere and which are in mutual Poisson involution: for all .
The initial point has , so its orbit remains in . Integrating the orbit equation from part (iv) and using gives
This formula also covers and within the open strip. The endpoints are approached only as infinite time limits and have the behavior classified in part (iv).
For , eliminating time gives the separable differential equation
and hence
Define the possible limit at for a trajectory starting off the boundary lines by
The set is empty because , so there is no finite accumulation point. Since on and outside , the complete classification off the boundary lines is
For the solution has forward finite-time blow-up, and for it has backward finite-time blow-up, explaining the other empty entries under the usual infinite-time definitions.
It remains to treat . Here and . If , both limit sets equal . If , then
This includes all boundary cases in both and the initial point.
Away from , the sign of is fixed within each of the three invariant strips, so is strictly monotone. On , the equation is , whose nonconstant solutions are exponential and hence not periodic. Therefore the monotone coordinate excludes periodic orbits, and there are
At an equilibrium point, and . If , the only equilibria are
Their Jacobian matrix is
At its eigenvalues are , and at they are . Hence for , is an unstable node and is a stable node; for , both points are saddles.
If , every point on each line and is an equilibrium. The line is transversely repelling because the nonzero eigenvalue is , while is transversely attracting because the nonzero eigenvalue is ; the tangential eigenvalue is zero on both nonisolated equilibrium lines.
The vector field is unchanged by reflection in the -axis, ; more generally, linearity of the second equation gives the scaling symmetry . It is also reversible under reflection in the -axis:
When , is constant, so arbitrary translations are additional symmetries.
The process is adapted to its natural filtration. At each fixed time it has finite support and is therefore integrable. Conditional on ,
Conditional on ,
The Markov property now gives
so is a martingale.
The pair is a martingale if is a filtration, is an adapted process, every is integrable, and
Using the estimator from part (b) and the spectral decomposition of ,
Thus
Under the stated separation of scales, the shrinkage factor is approximately one for and approximately zero for . The principal-component shrinkage by ridge regression formula therefore reduces approximately to
the orthogonal projection of onto the span of the normalized sample principal components with greatest variance.
Since and ,
Therefore
Put . By part (c), the are normalized sample principal components forming an orthonormal set, and
This is the orthogonal projection onto a finite-dimensional subspace spanned by the , so is the unique closest point in that subspace to .
Because every column of has sample mean zero, every column of also has sample mean zero. The spectral theorem for real symmetric matrices gives
Hence for the sample covariance is , while the sample variance of is
Thus the are pairwise uncorrelated sample principal components, ordered by decreasing sample variance.
Differentiating the ridge regression objective gives
For every nonzero ,
so is positive definite and hence invertible. The strictly convex objective therefore has the unique closed-form ridge regression estimator
The Gaussian likelihood is proportional to
so maximum likelihood estimation is equivalent to ordinary least squares. If and has rank , then is invertible and the normal equations give
If , then and . A least-squares minimizer always exists, but it is not unique: by rank-deficient ordinary least squares, the complete set is
an affine subspace of dimension . Thus there are uncountably infinitely many likelihood maximizers. In the generic full-row-rank case their dimension is .
Let be an invariant distribution for the continuous-time Markov chain. Using , its stationarity equation becomes
Thus the measure with weights is invariant for the irreducible positive-recurrent jump chain. Its invariant distribution is unique, so . Normalization gives the invariant-measure transfer between a jump chain and a CTMC formula
The denominator is finite and nonzero because . Thus is a probability distribution and is positive recurrent.
A continuous-time Markov chain is irreducible if every state can reach every other state with positive probability. A state is recurrent if, after leaving , the chain returns to with probability one; an irreducible chain is recurrent if one, and hence every, state is recurrent. A recurrent state is positive recurrent if its expected continuous first return time is finite, and an irreducible chain is positive recurrent when all its states are.
