Asymptotic growth conjecture for the season-swapped three-patch 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 (47ab1), 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,

Λ(∞,T)=b,\Lambda(\infty,T)=b,

and for every m≥a−bm\geq a-b,

Λ(m,∞)=b.\Lambda(m,\infty)=b.

These are conjectured formulas for the infinite-migration and infinite-period limits of the season-swapped system. The source does not establish either asserted limit in the indicated parameter range.
