Abstract: A simple branch of solution on a bifurcation diagram, which begins at static bifurcation and ends at boundary crisis (or interior crisis in a periodic window), is generally a period-doubling cascade. A domain of solution in parameter space, enclosed by curves of static bifurcation and that of boundary crisis (or the interior of a periodic window), is the trace of branches of solution. A P-n branch of solution refers to the one starting from a period-n (n≥1) solution, and the corresponding domain in parameter space is named the P-n domain of solution. Because of the co-existence of attractors, there may be several branches within one interval on a bifurcation diagram, and different domains of solution may overlap each other in some areas of the parameter space. A complex phenomenon, concerned both with the co-existence of attractors and the crises of chaotic attractors, was observed in the course of constructing domains of steady state solutions of the Hénon map in parameter space by numerical methods. A narrow domain of period-m solutions firstly co-exists with (lies on) a big period-n (m≥3n) domain. Then it enters the chaotic area of the big domain and becomes period-m windows. The co-existence of attractors disappears and is called the landing phenomenon. There is an interaction between the two domains in the course of landing: the chaotic area in the big domain is enlarged, and there is a crisis step near the landing area.
