Let be a metric space, a map of to itself and a point of . Define an attractor for and an omega point of the orbit of under .
Let be the map of to itself given by
where is so small that for all , and let be the map of to itself induced by . What points if any are
(a) attractors for ,
(b) omega points of the orbit of some point under ?
Is the cycle an attractor?
In the notation of the first two sentences, let be a cycle of order and assume that is continuous. Prove that is an attractor for if and only if each point of is an attractor for .
