In particular, suppose h individuals leave if the population is larger than some critical value ... ... Find the equilibrium when h =1000 and ... =1000 and r = 1.65. Can you explain why solutions that start below the equilibrium can shoot off to infinity? Study the dynamics of Exercises 1–4 for values of c ranging from 0.4 up to 1.0. Are there any cases where the behaviour is neither 2:1 AV block nor the Wenckebach phenomenon? How would you describe these behaviors.
