contents We investigate the interaction between the dark sectors from the point of view of a dynamical system analysis. A general setup for interacting dark energy models that incorporates both quintessence and phantom fields through a switch parameter, allowing an interaction in the dark sectors, has been considered. In the first part of our analysis, we have not assumed any specific form of the interaction, and in the second part, we invoked examples in a general framework of the interaction. The potentials of the scalar field are classified into two broad classes of potentials: exponential and non-exponential. We identify the potential late-time attractors of the system, which have a complete dark energy domination. From our analysis, it is evident there could be an interaction between the dark sector. The interaction, if any, weakens over time. We find for the quintessence field the transfer of energy from dark matter to dark energy can flip the direction, and on the contrary, for the phantom field, it is only from dark matter to dark energy.
