Let f(x) be a real analytic function of the real variable x and α a simple root of the equation f(x) = 0. It is well known that a function ϕ(x) can be associated with the equation in many different ways such that

  1. (i) α is a root of the equation ϕ(x), i.e. α is a fixed point (invariant point) of the function ϕ(x);

  2. (ii)
