I was wondering if there is a way of finding out the values of x1 for which an iterative formula converges.
Specifically, I am looking at the formula xn+1=0.25(xn3+1) and I am thinking about it in the context of finding roots of a function, although it would be great if there was a general way of finding whether a sequence converges or diverges.
I haven't had any ideas yet, so thank you in advance for any help! :)
