equilibrium solutions

Equilibrium solutions are special states in a system where conditions stay balanced over time. In these states, the processes or forces involved are equal and cancel each other out, so there’s no change or movement. For example, in ecology, an ecosystem at equilibrium maintains stable populations. In physics, an object at equilibrium isn’t moving because opposing forces, like gravity and support, are balanced. These solutions help us understand systems that can remain steady or stable, providing a foundation for predicting how they behave over time.
