The cumulative residence time T( > e)/Ttot versus ﹩{\mathrm{log}}_{10}(1-e)﹩ for the BBH–SMBH triple of Section 3.1 (Figures 2 4), computed using the same four different methods used for Figure 12. Panels show (a) direct N-body (SPACEHUB), (b) SA with back-reaction on the outer orbit, (c) SA in the test-particle limit (no back-reaction), and (d) DA. Colors are the same as in Figure 4. The initial conditions are those of the 30 + 30 M BBH listed in Table 1.
