 f ' (x) = f(exp(x)) ? fivexthethird Junior Fellow Posts: 9 Threads: 3 Joined: Nov 2013 04/17/2015, 02:15 AM (This post was last modified: 04/17/2015, 01:13 PM by fivexthethird.) I'm pretty sure that this function can't be analytic at the fix points of exp. If it was, then if c is a fix point we could directly evaluate the derivatives of f at c, which are actually polynomials of c multiplied by f(c) $f $$c$$ = \alpha$ $f' $$c$$ = f$$e^c$$ = f$$c$$ = \alpha$ $f'' $$c$$ = e^c f'$$e^c$$ = c \alpha$ $f^{[3]} $$c$$ = c^3 \alpha + c \alpha$ $f^{[4]} $$c$$ = c^6 \alpha + c^4 \alpha + 3*c^2 \alpha + c \alpha$ $f^{[5]} $$c$$ = c^{10} \alpha + c^8 \alpha + 9*c^6 \alpha + c^5 \alpha + 6c^4 \alpha + 7*c^3 \alpha + c \alpha$ and in general the degree of the polynomial appears to be $\frac{n(n+1)}{2}$ which obviously grows too fast to converge. « Next Oldest | Next Newest »
