Abstract

Fixed-point theory of one-dimensional maps of ℝ does not completely address the issue of nonhyperbolic fixed points. This note generalizes the existing tests to completely classify all such fixed points. To do this, a family of operators are exhibited that are analogous to generalizations of the Schwarzian derivative. In addition, a family of functions f are exhibited such that the Maclaurin series of f(f(x)) and x are identical.
