Figure 3. Maximally unstable perturbation wave number Inline graphic for homogeneous steady states with total density Inline graphic.

Figure 3

Similar to Fig. 1, the middle, bottom, and top curves show results for the 25th and 75th percentile as computed from 10,000 random parameter draws centered around our default parameter set. At low densities, there are no unstable perturbation wave numbers. Just past the critical density Inline graphic, Inline graphic increases rapidly and then plateaus. For our default parameters, Inline graphic asymptotes to Inline graphic corresponding to a length scale of Inline graphic.
