Figure 1. Bifurcation diagrams of corresponding to the steady state level of commitment for the better option (eqs. (3) – (6))with respect to the flow rate .

(a) case , (b) and (c) . Full and dashed lines correspond to stable and unstable solutions respectively. The stability has been checked numerically by integrating the full eqs. (1) – (2). The arrows indicate the evolution of initial conditions on the two sides of a threshold value corresponding to the intermediate unstable state. Parameter values are , , and .
