fixedpoint_show: 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
x0
is the initial guess at the fixed point.
xmin
~~Describe xmin here~~
xmax
~~Describe xmax here~~
Value
Returns the value of x at which ftn(x) == x. If the function fails to
converge within max.iter iterations, returns NULL.
Details
We assume that ftn is a function of a single variable.
