A computer-based method using an underlying lattice for deciding whether two or more attractive fixed points belong to the same basin of attraction or to different basins. One could also test a basin of attraction(of an attractive or parabolic point) versus a Siegel disk, or versus a Herman ring, or even versus a divergent set(having repelling fixed points). 2, record 2, English, - boundary%20scanning%20method

Neutral or indifferent periodic points come in two distinct varieties : rationally indifferent points and irrational rotations. 3, record 3, English, - indifferent%20point
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Beside attractive periodic points and repelling periodic points, we may ask about indifferent points. There are two types of indifferent points : the fixed point 0 is called rationally indifferent if alpha is a rational number; it is called irrationally indifferent if alpha is an irrational number. A rationally indifferent fixed point(or cycle) is also called parabolic. 1, record 3, English, - indifferent%20point
