The ODE has an equilibrium point at
We want to be an unstable equilibrium solution - in other words, we want all solutions with initial condition
for
near 2 to diverge from
- so
.
Divergence from would require that for
, any solution is increasing, and for
, and solution is decreasing. In order for that to happen, we need
if , and
if .
Now we just pick to satisfy these conditions. An easy choice is
, which forces
, so that one possible ODE would be
I've attached a plot of the slope field to demonstrate the behavior of the solutions.
