What is Attracting

Encyclopedia of Networked and Virtual Organizations
An invariant subset of the plane is attracting if it has a non-zero measure neighbourhood every point of which tends asymptotically to that subset or arrives there in a finite number of iterations.

Abstract
If one isolated species (corporation) is supposed to evolve following the logistic mapping, then we are tempted to think that the dynamics of two species (corporations) can be expressed by a coupled system of two discrete logistic equations. As three basic relationships between two species are present in nature, namely symbiosis, predator-prey, and competition, three different models are obtained. Each model is a cubic two-dimensional discrete logistic-type equation with its own dynamical properties: stationary regime, periodicity, quasi-periodicity, and chaos. We also propose that these models could be useful for thinking in the different interactions happening in the economic world, as for instance for the competition and the collaboration between corporations. Furthermore, these models could be considered as the basic ingredients to construct more complex interactions in the ecological and economic networks.
