Abstract

Recently the effect of a quiescent phase (or dormant/resting phase in applications) onthe dynamics of a system of differential equations has been investigated, in particular with respectto stability properties of stationary points. It has been shown that there is a general phenomenonof stabilization against oscillations which can be cast in rigorous form. Here we investigate, forhomogeneous systems, the effect of a quiescent phase, and more generally, a phase with slowerdynamics. We show that each exponential solution of the original system produces two exponentialsolutions of the extended system whereby the stability properties can be controlled.
