The answer to Fixed-point iteration
Not what you're looking for?
If the fixed-point iteration is applied to the function F(x) = 2 + (x-2)^4, starting at x = 2.5, what order of convergence results? Find the range of starting values for which this fixed-point iteration converges. Note that 2 is a fixed point.
Please provide as much detail as possible so that I can understand how the solution is derived. I would like to understand this problem so that I can apply the techniques used to similar problems. I really appreciate your help!
