The generalized recurrence relation has the form
The values of external parameters at which the phase transition occurs defined by neutral periodical points the mapping f(x)
Mandelbrot-like set is defined as a set of parameters of rational function for which f(x) has neutral periodic cycles.

7. Basin of Attraction of a Fixed Point
If x* is an attracting fixed point of f, the basin of attraction of x denoted by A(x*) consists of all x such that fn(x*) is defined for all n 1 and fn(x)x*.
The connected component of A(x*) containing x* is called the immediate basin of attraction of x* and is denoted by A*(x*).
If  is an attracting cycle of period n, then each of the fixed points of fn(x*) has its own basin A(x*) and A() is the union of these basins.
Critical points of the mapping are defined as solutions of f(c)=0.

9. The Numerical Algorithm
Find all the critical points of the mapping:
Investigates the convergence of all the orbits of critical points (critical orbits) to any attracting periodic cycle.
If all critical orbits converge, for example, after n iterations, one says that the system is in a stable equilibrium state,
Otherwise the system undergoes a phase transition.
Note that most of the critical orbits of Calyley0type mapping after the first iteration are intersected
It is enough to consider only orbits of points 0, z, 1 and -1 for p>2, and 1/z , z for p=2 (Bethe lattice)

14. Yang-Lee Zeros for Recurrence Lattices
The Yang-Lee zeros may be found from the condition
|f ’(x1)|=|f ’(x2)|  1
where x1,2 are two attractive fixed points of the mapping.
The boundary of Metastability regions may be
found from the condition
f (x)=x and |f ’(x)|=1.
The critical temperature of the ferromagnetic Potts model
is derived from the conditions
f (x)=x, f ’(x)=1, f ’’(x)=0

18. Boundary of Mandelbrot-like set and Fractal Dimensionality of the Julia Set
The boundary of the Mandelbrot-like set of the Potts-Bethe mapping for z=11, Q=9 and =3. At the points k (=-4) and l (= I) outside of the metastability region the Potts-Bethe mapping has an attracting fixed point and, also, an attractive periodical point of period 2 and 4 respectively.
Values of fractal dimensions of Julia sets of the Potts-Bethe mapping near the first order phase transition point (a Yang-Lee zero) c =0.74

19. Properties of Yang-Lee Zeros
Location of Yang-Lee zeros is related to the phase coexistence lines in the complex magnetic field plane.
The Yang-Lee zeros correspond to first order phase transition on the complex plane.
For any temperature there exists a metastability region on the complex magnetic field plane where there are two attractive fixed points.
The Yang-Lee zeros always located inside the metastability region.
The fractal dimension of a Julia set for a value of magnetic field corresponding to a Yang-Lee zero is a local minimum as a function of magnetic field.
