- 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...
