Infinite-slope 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 ωcrit(m)\omega_{crit}(m) be the transition frequency for m(0,m)m\in(0,m^*). The curve is understood to extend to the origin with ωcrit(0)=0\omega_{crit}(0)=0. Infinite-slope conjecture. The function ωcrit\omega_{crit} satisfies

limm0ωcrit(m)=+.\lim_{m\rightarrow 0}\omega_{crit}'(m)=+\infty.

Numerical results suggest that the transition curve is tangent to the ω\omega-axis at the origin, but the source states that this behavior has not been proved analytically.
