Hm, this is strange. I just tried numerically the half iterate of
and it looks quite convergent.
However I read in the article of Erdös and Jabotinsky [1]:
Now I am confused. If someone wants to compare, I computed the half iterate of
to be
I verified that indeed
and it converges for example for 
Where is the mistake?

However I read in the article of Erdös and Jabotinsky [1]:
Quote:The functionwas shown by I. N. Baker [2] to have no real non-integer iterates. M. Levine [3] showed, using some results of the present paper, that this function and the functions
and
have no analytic iterate.
