z3 are either complex conjugate with modulus greater than 1, or real with identical sign either in the
interval (
-∞, -1) or (1, ). Since z1 = 1 η < 1, then (k, w, r) is a saddle. At ηH = -(1 Gi)∕Gi,
eigenvalues z
2, z3 are complex conjugate with modulus equals to 1. For any η (bηH, 1], eigenvalues z2,
z
3 are complex conjugate with modulus less than 1, or real with identical sign in the interval (-1, 1) and
since z
1 = 1 η < 1, then (k, w, r) is a sink, (see figure A6).

ii) If 1+G1 <a<G1 + χ, then M1 lies on the horizontal axis anywhere between the points (1, 0)
and (χ, 0) with χ =
-(1 + 3G1)/(1 - G1). Therefore the line segment M0M1 lies above the straight line
corresponding to the equation 1+ε + κ =0, crosses both the horizontal line associated with equation
κ =1at η = η
H and the straight line associated with equation 1 - ε + κ =0at η = bηF , then ends on the
horizontal axis. For any η
(0, bηH), eigenvalues z2 , z3 are either complex conjugate with modulus greater
than 1, or real with identical sign either in the interval (-∞, -1) or (1, ). Since z1 =1-η<1,then(k,
w, r) is a saddle. At
Ьн = (1 Gι)∕Gι, eigenvalues z2, z3 are complex conjugate with modulus equals
to 1. For any η
(bηH, bηF), eigenvalues z2, z3 are complex conjugate with modulus less than 1, or real in
the interval (
1,1) and since zi = 1 η < 1, then (k, w, r) is a sink. At bF = 2(1 + Gι)∕(1 + a + Gι),
eigenvalues z
2 , z3 are real with identical sign one equals to 1, and the other in the interval (1, 0). For
any η
(bηF , 1], eigenvalues z2 , z3 are real with identical sign: one in the interval (1, 0), and the other
in the interval ^∞,
1). Since z1 = 1 η < 1, then (k, w, r) is a saddle (see figure A9).

iii) If a>G1 + χ, then M1 lies on the horizontal axis anywhere to the left of point (χ, 0) with
χ =
(1 + 3G1)∕(1 G1). Therefore the line segment M0M1 lies above the straight line corresponding
to the equation 1+ε + κ =0, crosses to the left of the point (2, 1) both the straight line associated with
equation 1
ε + κ =0at η = ηbF and the horizontal line associated with equation κ =1at η = bηH where
η
bF < ηbH . For any η (0, ηbF), eigenvalues z2 , z3 are either complex conjugate with modulus greater than
1, or real with identical sign either in the intervals ^∞,
1) or (1, ). Since z1 = 1 η < 1, then (k,
w, r) is a saddle. At
bF = 2(1 + Gι)∕(1 + a + Gι), eigenvalues z2, z3 are real with one equals to 1,
and the other in the interval
^∞, 1). For any η (bF,Ьн), eigenvalues z2, z3 are real and outside the
unit circle either in the intervals ^∞,
1) or (1, ). Since zi = 1 η < 1, then (k, w, r) is a saddle.
At
Ьн = (1 G1)∕G1, eigenvalues z2, z3 are real with one equals to 1, and the other in the interval
^∞,
1). For any η H, 1], eigenvalues z2, z3 are real with identical sign: one in the interval (1,1)
and the other one in the intervals ^∞,
1) or (1, ). Since zi = 1 η < 1, then (k, w, r) is a saddle.

Proposition 6 Under constant gain learning with h =0and G1 1+a, then the non-trivial steady
state is locally unstable for any
b (0, 1].

Proof. If G1 1+a,thenM0 lies either anywhere to the right of the point (2 a, 1+a) or at the
point (
2 a, 1+a) on the line segment associated with the equation 1+ε + κ =0,andM1 lies either
anywhere to the right of the point (
1, 0) or at the point (1, 0) on the horizontal axis. For Gi > 1 + a,
the line segment M
0M1 lies below the straight line corresponding to the equation 1+ε+ κ =0. Therefore
eigenvalues z
2 , z3 are real with identical sign: one in the interval (0, 1) and the other in the interval
(1,
). Since zi = 1 η < 1, then (k, w, r) is a saddle. For Gi = 1 + a, the line segment MoMi coincide
with the straight line corresponding to the equation 1+ε + κ =0. Therefore eigenva
lues z2, z3 are real
with one equals to 1, and the other in the interval (1,
). Since zɪ = 1 η < 1, then (k, w, r) is a saddle.
(see figure A11). ■

Under the different restrictions imposed on the values of Gi and a when h = 0, figure A12 summarizes
in the G
i a plane the local qualitative properties of the model around the non-trivial steady state.
