Move the curve slightly up (again keeping the diagonal in the same place). How many equilibria are there? Describe their stability.
Another peculiarity of an updating function that is tangent to the diagonal at an equilibrium is that slight changes in the graph can produce big changes in the number of equilibria. The following are based on Figure 3.1.10.
