Abstract
An algebraic approximation of global attractors introduced by Foias an d Temam is developed into a numerically stable algorithm and implement ed for the Lorenz system and Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation. An error e stimate is derived for the numerical computation of a sequence of impr oper integrals needed for the polynomials. The zero sets of the approx imating polynomials are observed to approach the global attractor at r ates which seem to vary with the recurrence of the solution orbits.
