REPULSIVE FIXED-POINTS OF THE LAGUERRE-LIKE ITERATION FUNCTIONS

Let f be an analytic function with a simple zero in the reals or the complex numbers. An extraneous fixed-point of an iteration function is a fixed-point different from a zero of f. We prove that all extraneous fixed-points of Laguerre-like iteration functions and general Laguerre-like functions are repulsive.
