It is shown that locally asymptotically stable equilibria of planar cooperative or competitive maps have basin of attraction $ \mathcal{B} $ with relatively simple geometry: the boundary of each component of $ \mathcal{B} $ consists of the union of two unordered curves, and the components of $ \mathcal{B} $ are not comparable as sets. The boundary curves are Lipschitz if the map is of class $ C^1 $. Further, if a periodic point is in $ \partial \mathcal{B} $, then $ \partial\mathcal{B} $ is tangential to the line through the point with direction given by the eigenvector associated with the smaller characteristic value of the map at the point. Examples are given.

Keywords: Basin of attraction, competitive, cooperative, difference equation, invariant sets, stable manifold, unstable manifold.

Figure 1.  (a) The basin of attraction $ \mathcal{B} $ of the zero fixed point $ \mathrm o $ of the map $ T(x, y) = (y, x^3+y^3) $. Note that $ \mathcal{B} $ is unbounded, and $ \partial \mathcal{B} $ contains two fixed points $ \mathrm{p}_1 $ and $ \mathrm{p}_2 $ which are saddle points. The union of the stable manifolds of $ \mathrm{p}_1 $ and $ \mathrm{p}_2 $ gives $ \partial \mathcal{B} $. (b) The basin of attraction $ \mathcal{B} $ of the zero fixed point of the map $ T(x, y) = (y^3, x^3+y^3) $. The set $ \mathcal{B} $ is bounded, and $ \partial \mathcal{B} $ contains two fixed points $ \mathrm{p}_1 $ and $ \mathrm{p}_2 $ (saddles) and a repelling minimal period-two point $ {\mathrm q}_1 $ and $ {\mathrm q}_2 $. The union of the stable manifolds of $ \mathrm{p}_1 $ and $ \mathrm{p}_2 $ gives $ \partial \mathcal{B} $

Figure 2.  (a) the basin $ \mathcal{B} $ of the fixed point $ \bar{\mathrm{x}} $ has three components $ \mathcal{B}^\prime $, $ \mathcal{B}_* $, $ \mathcal{B}^{\prime\prime} $ whose closure is in $ \mbox{int}(\mathcal{R}) $ and such that $ \mathcal{B}^\prime <\!\!<_{se}\mathcal{B}_* <\!\!<_{se}\mathcal{B}^{\prime\prime} $. Each component has boundary curves $ \mathcal{C}_+ $ and $ \mathcal{C}_- $. (b) The set $ \mathcal{B} $ has only one component, which has part of its boundary in $ \partial \mathcal{R} $. Also, $ \bar{\mathrm{x}} \in \partial \mathcal{R} $. The point $ \mathrm{p} $ is an endpoint of both boundary curves $ \mathcal{C}_- $ and $ \mathcal{C}_+ $.
