tristable
Tristable refers to systems, devices, or models that possess three locally stable equilibrium states. In such systems, each stable state can persist in the presence of small disturbances, and the system can reside in any of the three states depending on initial conditions or perturbations. Transitions between stable states generally occur when the system passes through unstable regions of the state space or when parameters are changed beyond certain thresholds.
In dynamical terms, a tristable system has at least three stable fixed points or attractors. Between these
Tristability appears in several disciplines. In physics and chemistry, it can arise in nonlinear reaction networks,
Understanding tristability involves studying how feedback, nonlinearity, and noise shape the stability landscape, how transitions can
