Fixed Point Methods

A fixed point of \(g\) is a value \(x^*\) where \(g(x^*) = x^*\). The iteration \(x_{k+1} = g(x_k)\) either converges to a fixed point or diverges, depending on the function and starting value. Use the Step and Reset buttons inside the graph to advance or restart the iteration. Switch the iteration function below.
