Figure 10

The evolution of strand preference ( r ) as a function of the diffusion intensity (Δ) in the system with complex formation. Solid lines represent the evolved value of r ¯ MathType@MTEF@5@5@+=feaagaart1ev2aaatCvAUfKttLearuWrP9MDH5MBPbIqV92AaeXatLxBI9gBaebbnrfifHhDYfgasaacPC6xNi=xH8viVGI8Gi=hEeeu0xXdbba9frFj0xb9qqpG0dXdb9aspeI8k8fiI+fsY=rqGqVepae9pg0db9vqaiVgFr0xfr=xfr=xc9adbaqaaeGaciGaaiaabeqaaeqabiWaaaGcbaGafmOCaiNbaebaaaa@2D5A@ as a function of the diffusion intensity (Δ) for various decay rates (d). Dashed lines represent the minimum value of r necessary to ensure system survival (rmin). Colors (and simbols) represent the value of d: d = 0.0025 (black circles); d = 0.0125 (red squares); d = 0.025 (blue triangles). The other parameters are as follows: k SP = k SM = k DP + k DM = 1; b = 1; κ = 1; μ = 0.01; δ r = 0.1.
