ABSTRACT
A scheme is proposed to classify the basins for attractors of
dynamical systems in arbitrary dimensions. There are four basic
classes depending on their size and extent, and each class can be
further quantified to facilitate comparisons. The calculation uses a
Monte Carlo method and is applied to numerous common dissipative
chaotic maps and flows in various dimensions.
