Concavity conjecture for the dispersal-induced growth transition curve

Assume rˉ1<0\bar{r}_1<0, rˉ2<0\bar{r}_2<0, and χ>0\chi>0, and let m>0m^*>0 be the threshold from the sink-sink result. For m(0,m)m\in(0,m^*), let ωcrit(m)\omega_{crit}(m) denote the transition frequency at which the relevant Floquet exponent vanishes, so that dispersal-induced growth occurs below this curve. Concavity conjecture. The function

ωcrit:(0,m)(0,)\omega_{crit}:(0,m^*)\rightarrow(0,\infty)

is concave. The curve is the numerically observed upper boundary of the dispersal-induced growth region; its concavity is not established analytically in the source.
