locally maximal (Definition)

Let $ f:M\to M$ be a diffeomorphism of a smooth manifold $ M$, and let $ \Lambda$ be a hyperbolic set for $ f$. We say that $ \Lambda$ is locally maximal or basic if there exists a neighborhood $ U$ of $ \Lambda$ such that

$\displaystyle \Lambda=\bigcap_{n=-\infty}^\infty f^n(\overline{U}).$
