Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Hm, perhaps -if not too elementary- you could look at
http://go.helms-net.de/math/tetdocs/Cont...ration.pdf
or
http://go.helms-net.de/math/tetdocs/FracIterAltGeom.htm
and some similar treatizes at my webspace. Also we had some discussions / elaborations (??? what a word) here on polynomial iterations.
But perhaps your question is a bit more specific?
And ehm, ps:another "perhaps" - you might reconsider to provide a name because I'd like it more in forums like this to be able to adress msgs more personally.

And thank you for the links.
