Abstract:
We consider some piecewise linear $4$-dimensional dynamical system
that models a gene network
regulated by one negative feedback and three positive feedbacks.
Glass and Pasternack described the conditions
for the existence of a stable cycle in this model.
We construct an invariant piecewise linear surface
with nontrivial link with the Glass–Pasternack cycle
outside the attraction domain of this stable cycle
in the phase portrait of this system.
