Rethinking the Definition of Rate-Induced Tipping

Abstract

The current definition of rate-induced tipping is tied to the idea of a pullback attractor limiting in forward and backward time to a stable quasi-static equilibrium. Here we propose a new definition that encompasses the standard definition in the literature for certain scalar systems and includes previously excluded $N$-dimensional systems that exhibit rate-dependent critical transitions.
