Iteration of complex rational function

71 Views Asked by At

I'm studying the book Iterations of Rational Functions by Alan F. Beardon.

Here is the page that all the quotations come from.

It is said that:

If $z$ is close to the fixed point $\zeta$, then, approximately, $|R(z)-\zeta|=|R(z)-R(\zeta)|=|R'(\zeta)|\cdot |z-\zeta|$.

My question is about this affirmation:

If $z_0$ lies sufficently close to an attraction fixed point $\zeta$, then $z_n \rightarrow \zeta$ as $n \rightarrow \infty$.

It makes sense that $z_0$ really close to $\zeta$ implies that $|z_0-\zeta|$ is really small but I can't prove that so easy.

These are my thoughts about it:

This equalty $|R(z)-\zeta|=|R(z)-R(\zeta)|=|R'(\zeta)|\cdot |z-\zeta|$ comes from the derivative right?

So for an arbitrary $\epsilon > 0$ there is a $\delta>0$ that: $|z-\zeta|< \delta \implies |R(z)-R(\zeta)|<\epsilon$.

To find the $z_0$ we must consider the "distance" from $z_0$ to $\zeta$ to all $\delta$ ?

But I can't find a way to choose the $z_0$.
