Figure 2. Equation (7) has three real roots in the colored area and one real root outside (and above the dotted line b = 1). The upper branch is the curve b = b+, which has a vertical asymptote at a = 4. The lower branch is the curve b = b − . The apex of the colored region is the point P: (a, b) = (ak, ab) = (3, 9). Below the dashed line b = 1, equation (7) has one real root Xe < 0. The color scale shows det(J) evaluated at the equilibrium point corresponding to the intermediate real root of equation (7), where this root exists.

Figure 5. Blue regions correspond to the basin of attraction of X-only equilibrium (1, 0), and red regions to the basin of attraction of the Y-only equilibrium (0, 1k). White denotes the basin of attraction of the stable mixed state (integrated population mix) obtained from (7) when it exists.

Figure 7. New population mixes can be created to the right of the blue curves, given by (19), by restricting the X-population and to the left of the red curves, given by (22), by restricting the Z-population. (a) The tolerance limits at the four points labelled (a), (b), (c), and (d) are shown in . The black curves are from . (b) Detail around the point P: (a, b) = (3, 9).
