Fixed Point Scheme

78 Views Asked by At

I want a fixed point scheme that will converge for all values of ' $a$ ' . $$x = \sin(x) - ax + 30$$

I have tried a couple of options but none works for all values of '$a$'

$x=(\sin x + 30)/(1+a)$ (note the parentheses) is the natural try and will work well when $a \not \in [-2,0]$ When $a$ is in that interval the derivative can be greater than $1$ in absolute value. In that case you want $x=\arcsin ((1+a)x-30)$ but I don't see a way to get one expression that works for all $a$.
