The first component of the vector field vanishes only when or . The second vanishes only when or . Intersecting these alternatives gives exactly five equilibria. Their Jacobian matrix isAt ,The real parts are negative and the imaginary parts are nonzero, so is a stable spiral.
At ,so is a saddle equilibrium. All five equilibria are hyperbolic, so these linear classifications determine their nonlinear local stability as well.
