Abstract
This article consists of two papers: by Steele and by Dud\'ak and Steele. Let be the space of continuously differentiable real-valued functions defined on . We show that for the typical element in , there exists a set , both residual and of full measure in , such that for any , the trajectory generated by Newton's method using and either diverges, converges to a root of , or generates a Cantor set as its attractor. Whenever the Cantor set is the attractor, the dynamics on the attractor are described by a single type of adding machine, so that the dynamics on all of these attracting Cantor sets are topologically equivalent.
