Lecture 18: Introduction to Physical Simulation (25)

This sort of reminds me of when we discussed dynamic systems in EE16B -- especially when talking about stable and unstable systems. The setup was very similar, where to get the next state, we use the previous state and add a transform, but in that class we used matrices to show how we transition from one state to another. This meant that if you wanted to see if a system was stable, it was straightforward -- just find the eigenvalues of the matrix and see if they are < 1. I'm curious if there is something similar or analogous here?

This method is not an accurate representation of the transitions because it assumes that the force applied to a particle over the time is consistent. In reality, the force applied over the time changes because of other springs moving and the results of those movements propogating to other springs.
