- An attractor is a set towards which a dynamical system evolves over time. That is, points that get close enough to the attractor remain close even if slightly disturbed. ...
- (Attractors) A term used in modern dynamics to denote a limit towards which trajectories of change within a dynamical system move. Attractors generally lie within basins of attraction.
- A style or variety of fly that is effective in eliciting strikes, but has few apparent characteristics of a natural food item. Often an attractor is flashy and bigger than life.
- If you plot one variable against another for a series of times, the successive points may seem to move along a trajectory, often a cyclical one. This phase portrait may well look like an oddly-shaped orbit around an imaginary gravitational attractor, from whence the name. ...
- A characterization of the long-term behavior of a dissipative dynamical system. Over long periods of time, the state space of some dynamical systems will contract toward this region. Attractors may be fixed points, periodic, quasiperiodic, or chaotic. They may also be stable or unstable.
- An attractor is a trajectory of a dynamical system such that initial conditions nearby it will tend toward it in forward time. Often called a stable attractor but this is redundant.
