Stable equilibria of a conjugately forced Landau equation

For real $\mu ,\beta$ and $\lambda >0$, writing $A=x+iy$ gives a gradient flow with potential $V=-(\mu +\beta )x^2/2-(\mu -\beta )y^2/2+\lambda (x^2+y^2{)}^2/4$. The origin has exponential asymptotic stability for $\mu <-|\beta |$, is algebraically attracting at equality, and is unstable above it. Nonzero stable equilibria are the real pair $\pm \sqrt{(\mu +\beta )/\lambda }$ for $\beta >0$, or the imaginary pair $\pm i\sqrt{(\mu -\beta )/\lambda }$ for $\beta <0$, when their squared amplitudes are positive. Differentiating the two real equations gives eigenvalues $-2(\mu +\beta ),-2\beta$ on the real branch and $-2(\mu -\beta ),2\beta$ on the imaginary branch. For $\beta =0$, $\mu >0$ gives a radially attracting circle with neutral phase, so individual equilibrium points have Lyapunov stability but are not individually asymptotically attracting.
