On the fractal structure of basin boundaries in two-dimensional noninvertible maps

In this paper we give an example of transition to fractal basin boundary in a two-dimensional map coming from the applicative context, in which the hard-fractal structure can be rigorously proved. That is, not only via numerical examples, although theoretically guided, as often occurs in maps coming from the applications, but also via analytical tools. The proposed example connects the two-dimensional maps of the real plane to the well-known complex map.
