Fractional Iterates and Oscillatory Convergence

Number Theory 2025-12-23 v3 Discrete Mathematics

Abstract

The simple continued fractions for the Golden & Silver means are well-known. It is astonishing that, as far as we know, no one has published half-iterates (let alone quarter-iterates) for the corresponding algorithms. We also examine the cosine and logistic maps (with parameter 2<λ<32 < \lambda < 3).
