... can be an arbitrary small positive number, 1.1 may be regarded as a limiting caseof 1.3. Therefore, it would appear that the qualitative behavior of 1.3 will “degenerateinto” that of 1.1 ... with an additional positive threshold λ. Treating the threshold as a bifurcation parameterthat varies between 0 and ∞, we work out a complete asymptotic and bifurcation analysis. Amongother things, ... c/1 a ,c/1 − a , or equivalently, all solutions of 7.2 are “attracted” tothe limit 1-cycle c/1 a ,c/1 a , or equivalently, the limit 1-cycle c/1 a ,c/1 a is a global attractor....
