Description

Necessary and sufficient condition to ensure that 𝑆ₙ, is positive for all initial conditions (and Iₙ < N). Implies that the time step At must be less than the average time required for a successful contact.

Defining Formula: $\alpha \Delta t\le 1$

$\Delta t$ represents time step

$\alpha$ represents contact rate
