In particular, there is a formal half iterate that is not real valued that can be developed at the fixed point L.
\( \exp(L+z) = L \cdot (1 + z + \frac{z^2}{2} + \frac{z^3}{6} + ... \)
And the formal half iterate begins with
\( \exp^{0.5}(z+L) = L + \sqrt{L}z + \frac{L \cdot z^2}{2(L+\sqrt{L})} + ... \)
Numerical experiments suggest that the derivative of Knesser's real valued half iterate is continuous at L, and the first derivative at the singularity at L is \( \sqrt{L} \), and that the 2nd derivative may also match the formal half iterate.
