Figure 5. Phase portraits with trajectories.

Figure 5

From (a) country by country data and (b) model predictions made by integrating equations 7 and 9, with coloured circles representing the initial conditions. The arrows in the phase portrait indicate the direction and magnitude of the changes Inline graphic and Inline graphic as a function of the two variables Inline graphic and Inline graphic themselves. Specifically the arrows are the vector Inline graphic given by equations 7 and 9. These arrows are the same in both sub-figures.
