In the mathematical field of dynamical systems, an attractor is a set of numerical values toward which a system tends to evolve, for a wide variety of starting conditions of the system. System values that get close enough to the attractor values remain close even if slightly disturbed.

In finite-dimensional systems, the evolving variable may be represented algebraically as an n-dimensional vector. The attractor is a region in n-dimensional space. In physical systems, the n dimensions may be, for example, two or three positional coordinates for each of one or more physical entities; in economic systems, they may be separate variables such as the inflation rate and the unemployment rate.

If the evolving variable is two- or three-dimensional, the attractor of the dynamic process can be represented geometrically in two or three dimensions, (as for example in the three-dimensional case depicted to the right). An attractor can be a point, a finite set of points, a curve, a manifold, or even a complicated set with a fractal structure known as a strange attractor (see strange attractor below). If the variable is a scalar, the attractor is a subset of the real number line. Describing the attractors of chaotic dynamical systems has been one of the achievements of chaos theory.

A trajectory of the dynamical system in the attractor does not have to satisfy any special constraints except for remaining on the attractor, forward in time.  The trajectory may be periodic or chaotic. If a set of points is periodic or chaotic, but the flow in the neighborhood is away from the set, the set is not an attractor, but instead is called a repeller (or repellor).

A dynamical system is generally described by one or more differential or difference equations. The equations of a given dynamical system specify its behavior over any given short period of time.  To determine the system's behavior for a longer period, it is often necessary to integrate the equations, either through analytical means or through iteration, often with the aid of computers.

Dynamical systems in the physical world tend to arise from dissipative systems: if it were not for some driving force, the motion would cease.  (Dissipation may come from internal friction, thermodynamic losses, or loss of material, among many causes.)  The dissipation and the driving force tend to balance,  killing off initial transients and settle the system into its typical behavior. The subset of the phase space of the dynamical system corresponding to the typical behavior is the attractor, also known as the attracting section or attractee.

Invariant sets and [[limit set]]s are similar to the attractor concept.

For example, the damped pendulum has two invariant points: the point  of minimum height and the point  of maximum height.  The point  is also a limit set, as trajectories converge to it; the point  is not a limit set.  Because of the dissipation due to air resistance, the point  is also an attractor.  If there was no dissipation,  would not be an attractor. Aristotle believed that objects moved only as long as they were pushed, which is an early formulation of a dissipative attractor.

Some attractors are known to be chaotic (see #Strange attractor), in which case the evolution of any two distinct points of the attractor result in exponentially diverging trajectories, which complicates prediction when even the smallest noise is present in the system.

Since the basin of attraction contains an open set containing A, every point that is sufficiently close to A is attracted to A.  The definition of an attractor uses a metric on the phase space, but the resulting notion usually depends only on the topology of the phase space. In the case of Rⁿ, the Euclidean norm is typically used.

Attractors are portions or subsets of the phase space of a dynamical system.  Until the 1960s, attractors were thought of as being simple geometric subsets of the phase space, like points, lines, surfaces, and simple regions of three-dimensional space.  More complex attractors that cannot be categorized as simple geometric subsets, such as topologically wild sets, were known of at the time but were thought to be fragile anomalies.  Stephen Smale was able to show that his horseshoe map was robust and that its attractor had the structure of a Cantor set.

Two simple attractors are a fixed point and the limit cycle.  Attractors can take on many other geometric shapes (phase space subsets).  But when these sets (or the motions within them) cannot be easily described as simple combinations (e.g. intersection and union) of fundamental geometric objects (e.g. lines, surfaces, spheres, toroids, manifolds), then the attractor is called a strange attractor.

A fixed point of a function or transformation is a point that is mapped to itself by the function or transformation. If we regard the evolution of a dynamical system as a series of transformations, then there may or may not be a point which remains fixed under each transformation.  The final state that a dynamical system evolves towards corresponds to an attracting fixed point of the evolution function for that system, such as the center bottom position of a damped pendulum, the level and flat water line of sloshing water in a glass, or the bottom center of a bowl contain a rolling marble. But the fixed point(s) of a dynamic system is not necessarily an attractor of the system. For example, if the bowl containing a rolling marble was inverted and the marble was balanced on top of the bowl, the center bottom (now top) of the bowl is a fixed state, but not an attractor.  This is equivalent to the difference between stable and unstable equilibria. In the case of a marble on top of an inverted bowl (a hill), that point at the top of the bowl (hill) is a fixed point (equilibrium), but not an attractor (stable equilibrium).

函数或变换的不动点是通过函数或变换映射到自身的点。如果我们把动力系统的演化看作是一系列的转变，那么在每一个转变下，可能会有一个点是固定的，也可能没有。动力系统的最终状态对应于该系统演化函数的吸引不动点，例如阻尼摆的中心底部位置，玻璃杯中晃动水的水平线和平坦线，或碗的底部中心含有滚动的大理石。但是动态系统的不动点不一定是系统的吸引子。例如，如果装有滚动大理石的碗被倒置，大理石平衡在碗的顶部，碗的中心底部(现在是顶部)是一个固定的状态，但不是一个吸引子。这等价于稳定平衡点和不稳定平衡点之差。如果一个大理石在一个倒碗(山)的顶部，这个点在碗(山)的顶部是一个不动点(平衡) ，但不是一个吸引子(稳定的平衡)。

In addition, physical dynamic systems with at least one fixed point invariably have multiple fixed points and attractors due to the reality of dynamics in the physical world, including the nonlinear dynamics of stiction, friction, surface roughness, deformation (both elastic and plasticity), and even quantum mechanics. In the case of a marble on top of an inverted bowl, even if the bowl seems perfectly hemispherical, and the marble's spherical shape, are both much more complex surfaces when examined under a microscope, and their shapes change or deform during contact. Any physical surface can be seen to have a rough terrain of multiple peaks, valleys, saddle points, ridges, ravines, and plains. There are many points in this surface terrain (and the dynamic system of a similarly rough marble rolling around on this microscopic terrain) that are considered stationary or fixed points, some of which are categorized as attractors.

In the case of a marble on top of an inverted bowl, even if the bowl seems perfectly hemispherical, and the marble's spherical shape, are both much more complex surfaces when examined under a microscope, and their shapes change or deform during contact. Any physical surface can be seen to have a rough terrain of multiple peaks, valleys, saddle points, ridges, ravines, and plains.

此外，至少有一个不动点的物理动力系统，由于物理世界动力学的现实性，包括非线性动力学的粘滞，摩擦，表面粗糙度，变形(弹性和塑性) ，甚至量子力学，总是有多个不动点和吸引子。在倒置碗顶的大理石上，即使碗看起来完美的半球形，和大理石的球形，在显微镜下观察时都是更复杂的表面，它们的形状在接触过程中改变或变形。任何物理表面都可以看到一个由多个山峰、山谷、鞍点、山脊、峡谷和平原组成的崎岖地形。在这个表面地形中有许多点(以及在这个微观地形上滚动的同样粗糙的大理石的动力系统)被认为是静止的或不动的点，其中一些被归类为吸引子。

In a discrete-time system, an attractor can take the form of a finite number of points that are visited in sequence. Each of these points is called a periodic point. This is illustrated by the logistic map, which depending on its specific parameter value can have an attractor consisting of 2ⁿ points, 3×2ⁿ points, etc., for any value of n.

There may be more than one frequency in the periodic trajectory of the system through the state of a limit cycle. For example, in physics, one frequency may dictate the rate at which a planet orbits a star while a second frequency describes the oscillations in the distance between the two bodies. If two of these frequencies form an irrational fraction (i.e. they are incommensurate), the trajectory is no longer closed, and the limit cycle becomes a limit torus. This kind of attractor is called an  -torus if there are  incommensurate frequencies. For example, here is a 2-torus:

An attractor is called '''strange''' if it has a [[fractal]] structure. This is often the case when the dynamics on it are [[chaos theory|chaotic]], but [[strange nonchaotic attractor]]s also exist.  If a strange attractor is chaotic, exhibiting [[sensitive dependence on initial conditions]], then any two arbitrarily close alternative initial points on the attractor, after any of various numbers of iterations, will lead to points that are arbitrarily far apart (subject to the confines of the attractor), and after any of various other numbers of iterations will lead to points that are arbitrarily close together. Thus a dynamic system with a chaotic attractor is locally unstable yet globally stable: once some sequences have entered the attractor, nearby points diverge from one another but never depart from the attractor.<ref>{{cite journal | author = Grebogi Celso, Ott Edward, Yorke James A | year = 1987 | title = Chaos, Strange Attractors, and Fractal Basin Boundaries in Nonlinear Dynamics | url = | journal = Science | volume = 238 | issue = 4827| pages = 632–638 | doi = 10.1126/science.238.4827.632 | pmid = 17816542 | bibcode = 1987Sci...238..632G }}</ref>

The term strange attractor was coined by David Ruelle and Floris Takens to describe the attractor resulting from a series of bifurcations of a system describing fluid flow. Strange attractors are often differentiable in a few directions, but some are like a Cantor dust, and therefore not differentiable. Strange attractors may also be found in the presence of noise, where they may be shown to support invariant random probability measures of Sinai–Ruelle–Bowen type.

Equations or systems that are nonlinear can give rise to a richer variety of behavior than can linear systems. One example is Newton's method of iterating to a root of a nonlinear expression. If the expression has more than one real root, some starting points for the iterative algorithm will lead to one of the roots asymptotically, and other starting points will lead to another. The basins of attraction for the expression's roots are generally not simple&mdash;it is not simply that the points nearest one root all map there, giving a basin of attraction consisting of nearby points. The basins of attraction can be infinite in number and arbitrarily small. For example, for the function <math>f(x)=x^3-2x^2-11x+12</math>, the following initial conditions are in successive basins of attraction:

Equations or systems that are [[nonlinear system|nonlinear]] can give rise to a richer variety of behavior than can linear systems. One example is [[Newton's method]] of iterating to a root of a nonlinear expression. If the expression has more than one [[real number|real]] root, some starting points for the iterative algorithm will lead to one of the roots asymptotically, and other starting points will lead to another. The basins of attraction for the expression's roots are generally not simple&mdash;it is not simply that the points nearest one root all map there, giving a basin of attraction consisting of nearby points. The basins of attraction can be infinite in number and arbitrarily small. For example,<ref>Dence, Thomas, "Cubics, chaos and Newton's method", ''[[Mathematical Gazette]]'' 81, November 1997, 403–408.</ref> for the function <math>f(x)=x^3-2x^2-11x+12</math>, the following initial conditions are in successive basins of attraction:

与线性系统相比，[[非线性系统|非线性]]的方程或系统可以产生更丰富的行为。一个例子是迭代到非线性表达式根的[[牛顿方法]]。如果表达式有多个[[实数|实]]根，则迭代算法的某些起始点将渐近地导致其中一个根，而其他起点将导致另一个根。表达式根的吸引域通常并不简单，最接近一个根的点都映射到那里，从而形成由附近点组成的吸引区。吸引的区域可以是无限的，可以任意小。例如，<ref>Dence, Thomas, "Cubics, chaos and Newton's method", ''[[Mathematical Gazette]]'' 81, November 1997, 403–408.</ref> 对于函数<math>f（x）=x^3-2x^2-11x+12</math>，以下初始条件在连续的吸引域中：

Newton's method can also be applied to complex functions to find their roots. Each root has a basin of attraction in the complex plane; these basins can be mapped as in the image shown. As can be seen, the combined basin of attraction for a particular root can have many disconnected regions. For many complex functions, the boundaries of the basins of attraction are fractals.

牛顿法也可以应用于求复变函数的根。在复杂的平面上，每个根部都有一个吸引域; 这些区域可以如图所示绘制出来。可以看出，组合区域的吸引力为一个特定的根可以有许多不相连的地区。对于许多复杂的函数，吸引域的边界是分形。

hidden attractors. Self-excited attractors can be localized numerically by standard computational procedures, in which after a transient sequence, a trajectory starting from a point on an unstable manifold in a small neighborhood of an unstable equilibrium reaches an attractor, such as the classical attractors in the Van der Pol, Belousov–Zhabotinsky, Lorenz, and many other dynamical systems.  In contrast, the basin of attraction of a hidden attractor does not contain neighborhoods of equilibria, so the hidden attractor cannot be localized by standard computational procedures.
