Zubov's method is a technique for computing the basin of attraction for a set of ordinary differential equations (a dynamical system). The domain of attraction is the set, where is the solution to a partial differential equation known as the Zubov equation. 'Zubov's method' can be used in a number of ways.
Zubov's theorem states that:
- If is an ordinary differential equation in with, a set containing 0 in its interior is the domain of attraction of zero if and only if there exist continuous functions such that:
- , for, on
- for every there exist such that, if
- for or
If f is continuously differentiable, then the differential equation has at most one continuously differentiable solution satisfying .

“Steady labor with the hands, which engrosses the attention also, is unquestionably the best method of removing palaver and sentimentality out of one’s style, both of speaking and writing.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
