Power or iterate?

[edit]

The article has been edited to make it explicit that the RHS of the equation is the n-th iterate. I found this article: Carl C. Cowen (1982). "Analytic solutions of Böttcher's functional equation in the unit disk" (PDF). Aeq. Math. 24: 187–194. Zbl 0526.30033. This reference makes it clear that you start with an analytic function h with an n-fold zero at zero [the wiki article considers the trivial variation h(z-a)+a] and look for a function F such that F(h(z)) = F(z)n where the RHS is indeed the n-th power of F(z). In fact the reference observes that if n is fixed by the condition on h having an n-fold zero at zero, then the only value of k in an equation F(h(z)) = F(z)k that gives an interesting result is k=n. So, power or iterate? Spectral sequence (talk) 01:54, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Of course it is the power: cf Schröder's equation and the transformation that produced it. Cuzkatzimhut (talk) 10:19, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I thought so — I have added a link to Schröder's equation, thanks for that. Spectral sequence (talk) 15:07, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
