Existence, Uniqueness & Bifurcations · Challenge problem
The state of a system obeys , where the parameter changes very slowly. It starts at the largest equilibrium when , and is then decreased slowly, the state tracking its equilibrium. At some value of that equilibrium disappears and the state jumps to a distant stable equilibrium. What value of does it jump to?
