Abstract
Let be a degree polynomial with zeros . For arbitrary we construct explicit set of fixed points (attractors) of NRS(), and prove a factored formula for the Jacobian at these points. We prove that if NRS(2), when applied to with an arbitrary starting point, converges to a point , then is of the form for some . As a corollary, we prove a formula expressing the elementary symmetric expansion of the function in the variables in terms of non-intersecting paths on certain directed graphs, using the Lindstr\"om-Gessel-Veinnot Lemma.
