Existence of a basin point for every finite cycle
Existence of a basin point for every finite cycle
Consider the three difference equations referred to in the source as Eqs. , and , including the equation
A finite-length cycle means a cycle of finite period, when such a cycle exists. Cycle-convergence conjecture. For every finite-length cycle of any of these three difference equations, there exists at least one solution that converges to the cycle. The conjecture proposes the existence of at least one point in the basin of attraction of every finite cycle, without asserting that the cycle is attracting for all nearby or all initial conditions.
