Properties of the basins of noninvertible maps of a plane are studied using the method of critical curves. Different kinds of basin bifurcation, some of them leading to basin boundary fractalization are described. More particularly the paper considers the simplest class of maps that of a phase plane which is made up of two regions, one with two preimages, the other with no preimage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
