= Hyperbolic component

For quadratic-polynomial parameter space, these are open components of the interior of the <Mandelbrot set> with an attracting periodic orbit.

A hyperbolic component in a parameter space consists of maps with a specified attracting cycle. Its multiplier gives a holomorphic coordinate on the component in the quadratic family, and root-of-unity boundary multipliers give parabolic parameters.
