Monotonicity conjecture for phase-lock area portraits
Monotonicity conjecture for phase-lock area portraits
Let , , , , and . Let , and suppose for an appropriately chosen sign. Suppose that is tangent to at , that its germ at this point lies to the right of , and define such a point to be a left-moving tangency if the intersection disappears for . Monotonicity conjecture. There are no left-moving tangencies in the model of the Josephson effect.
The conjecture describes the proposed monotone evolution of phase-lock area portraits as decreases. The supplied text gives a partial result excluding generalized simple intersections, but does not provide a resolution of the conjecture itself.
