fixedpoint_show {spuRs}

A function of the fixed point algorithm.

Description

Applies the fixed point algorithm to find x such that ftn(x) == x, and plots the process.

Usage

fixedpoint_show(ftn, x0, xmin = x0 - 1, xmax = x0 + 1)

Arguments

ftn

the function.

x0

is the initial guess at the fixed point.

xmin

~~Describe xmin here~~

xmax

~~Describe xmax here~~

Details

We assume that ftn is a function of a single variable.

Value

Returns the value of x at which ftn(x) == x. If the function fails to converge within max.iter iterations, returns NULL.
