Figure Legend:
Measure of the basins of attraction of the averaged equations g(x)=αx3(α=1.00, ω=1.50, ϵ=0.10, δ=1.00, ρ=1.00, ξ=1.00). The
equilibrium points are located with the dashed curve while the width of the surrounding region indicates the measure of the basin of
attraction. Note that the intermediate branch is unstable and has a basin of attraction of measure zero.
