Bi-stability conjecture for the fluid model
Bi-stability conjecture for the fluid model
Let be a fluid solution with initial condition , let be the set of initial conditions whose trajectories oscillate indefinitely, and let denote a periodic equilibrium when it exists. Let be the stability set of , and let be the state space. Bi-stability conjecture. If , then there exists a unique periodic equilibrium and converges to as in the paper's definition of convergence. Consequently, , so the fluid model is bi-stable and every fluid trajectory converges to one of the two equilibria as . The conjecture asserts that all indefinitely oscillating fluid trajectories converge to the unique periodic equilibrium; together with the proved convergence of non-oscillating trajectories to the unique stationary point, this would establish global bi-stability of the fluid limit. Further context on what is known beyond these results is not provided in the source.
