7 Fixed point iteration f(x)=xx3 a sink at x=0

This shows fixed point iteration of f(x)=xx3 with 2 seeds, one using x0=0.6 and one using x0=0.6 in the first plot (top left corner plot).

It shows the fixed point interation is stable and converges to the limit x=0 from both sides. Hence x=0 is a sink.

Additional animations shown in the table below, are zoom versions of the same iterations that used the seed x=0.6 in order to obtain better views.
