The basin of attaction for an attractive fixed point is the region that converges on the point under the operation of the function. Look at the inverse of the function. The region that nearby points reach under the operation of the inverse is the basin you're looking for. Note that if the function operates discretely, the resulting "basin" may well be quite strange... Cheers, -- Harry Erwin Internet: erwin@trwacs.fp.trw.com
