Fixed-Point Cardioid

Robert P. Munafo, 1997 Nov 20.


Prof. Devaney's Colloquial name for the largest mu-atom, R2a. It is so-named because the orbit of all points within R2a converge on a limit cycle that has just one point; thus the iterates converge on a "fixed point".

See heading R2 for a map of the major features attached to R2a.
