fixedpoint_show: A function of the fixed point algorithm.

In spuRs: Functions and Datasets for "Introduction to Scientific Programming and Simulation Using R"

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.
