Abstract:
We study the behavior of dynamical systems under a time-dependent change of an external parameter. We are interested in phenomena induced by the parameter changing sufficiently quickly, and we refer to these as rate-induced phenomena. We investigate such rate-induced phenomena in continuous-time planar dynamical systems, where the underlying fixed-parameter autonomous dynamics have limit cycles attractors, extending the work of Alkhayuon and Ashwin [Chaos 28(3), 033608 (2018)]. We discover new phenomena of rate-induced phase sensitivity, where the rate at which the parameter changes can trigger finite-time unpredictability in the dynamics. We also find that this new phenomenon interacts in an interesting way with the established notion of rate-induced tipping.

Rate-Determining Steps
In a multistep reaction mechanism, one of the elementary steps progresses significantly slower than the others. This slowest step is called the rate-limiting step (or rate-determining step). A reaction cannot proceed faster than its slowest step, and hence, the rate-determining step limits the overall reaction rate.
The concept of rate-determining step can be understood from the analogy of a 4-lane freeway with a short-stretch of traffic-bottleneck caused due to...
