| Using this we can find g(ε) with a lot of combinatorics of the Taylor series, or we can
recall the trigonometric identity cos(2x) = 2cos2(x) - 1 and note |
| g(ε) = 2cos(√ε) |
| satisfies g(4ε) = g(ε)2 - 2: |
| g(4ε) = 2cos(√(4ε)) = 2cos(2√ε) =
2(2cos2(√ε) - 1) = g(ε)2 - 2 |
| Here is an anmiation illustrating the convergence of gn(ε) to g(ε). |
