In this paper, we provide a new approach to
study the geometry of attractor. By applying category, we investigate the
relationship between attractor and its attraction basin. In a complete metric
space, we prove that the categories of attractor and its attraction basin are
always equal. Then we apply this result to both autonomous and non-autonomous
systems, and obtain a number of corresponding results.
