So you are finding continous dynamical system which has the same 
dynamics an can be used as model of discrete dynamical system.

For parabolic system with 2 petals ( eggbeater dynamics)
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Fractals/Iterations_in_the_complex_plane/parabolic
one can use :
a 2D vector field with 2 centers ( second-order degenerate points )

Is there a general method of finding such model for given c ?
