Asymptotic growth conjecture for the first three-patch seasonal system

About 2 years old · traced to

Assume a>0>ba>0>b and a+2b<0a+2b<0. For the seasonal system denoted by (47ab), let Λ(m,T)\Lambda(m,T) be its growth rate, with migration rate mm and period TT. Asymptotic growth conjecture. For every T>0T>0 and every m>0m>0,

Λ(∞,T)=b,\Lambda(\infty,T)=b,

and

Λ(m,∞)=a+b−m2.\Lambda(m,\infty)=\frac{a+b-m}{2}.

These formulas concern the infinite-migration and infinite-period limits, respectively. The source states them as conjectures because its hypotheses do not determine the relevant limits for this system.
