# scipy.optimize.fixed_point

`scipy.optimize.``fixed_point`(func, x0, args=(), xtol=1e-08, maxiter=500)

  Find the point where func(x) == x

  Given a function of one or more variables and a starting point, find a fixed-point of the function: i.e. where func(x)=x.

  Uses Steffensen’s Method using Aitken’s Del^2 convergence acceleration. See Burden, Faires, “Numerical Analysis”, 5th edition, pg. 80
