Figure 5. Dependence of the relaxation process Inline graphic on the magnitude and duration of a stimulus.

Figure 5

(A) The relaxation time after exposure to the stimulus with various magnitudes and durations is plotted as a color map. The initial condition is given as Inline graphic and Inline graphic for Inline graphic, and the input is given as Inline graphic for Inline graphic and Inline graphic for Inline graphic. When the magnitude (Inline graphic) and duration of the stimulus (Inline graphic) increase, Inline graphic increases continuously over an order of magnitude. The catalyst concentration is set at Inline graphic of the substrate concentration. (B) Dependence of the relaxation process on the duration of stimulus exposure. The duration of stimulus exposure is changed while the magnitude is fixed at Inline graphic. Here, the relaxation time increases nearly exponentially with the increase in duration for the some extent small Inline graphic. When Inline graphic is sufficiently long, the modification is maintained for a long time.
